Yea that's a great point too
Absolutely. For me, it's the context of it all. Right before that moment, he was showing attachment to the Japanese culture and honor by singing before the pilots took off and you can see even the Japanese are touched by it. He feels a deep connection to them but then he loses it the next moment when their planes get blown up. He is now detached from that and has to let go. Now he is attached to the American planes but the doctor pulls him back to reality and he lets it go. The Japanese kid he got attached to gets shot and he needs to let him go. He is attached to Basie in some way but it's not real because Basie is not the kind to get attached so he let's it go too.
It's a story about attachment and how it's all incredibly feeble and temporary. You are attached to the idea that you are this kind of person but then you learn you are wrong. You are wrong about who you are and who your people are. You are alone. Family prevails.
"nothing is ever my fault"
This was an incredible performance for sure
The deeper message of this movie has nothing to do with war and I guess most people were expecting the typical ww2 movie.
Everyone sucks is what I got from this story. There is not a single character in this movie that is redeemable. I don't get what's so interesting about this movie?
lol so true, this story BLOWS
It was heavily implied he was in some racket, and Tom accused him of getting his money through illicit means through some scams which Gatsby didn't deny. There are no good guys in this story.
I'm talking about the guys on THE BOAT who were all military and that was Seong's original plan which you were criticizing. The rebellion inside was a last resort, a desperate attempt.
The only reason they knew about Seong having a gps tracker somewhere in his body was because the boat captain learned about it. His plan would have worked if not for that so it was not stupid. You act as if the sg gang are gods who can't be beaten in any way. You're just nitpicking and being boring. Let the hero do hero things, what's the problem. It's not real life.
>the guards vastly outnumber them
they don't know how many people the squidgame gang has and if they are prepared to deal with a surprise assault
>and have more ammo
how can you even tell? they might have thousands of ammo on the boat, stupid point
>are trained VS some lowlifes who never shot a gun.
all of the guys were former military, did you even watch the show? try to pay attention next time
>you ignore my first point
yea don't care about that, they could have just swapped numbers to make it be more realistic instead of dramatic 1st vs last number but who cares? only you. it's funnier like this.
you should watch the show a second time cuz you didn't understand what happened. Seong's main plan was to infiltrate the games with a tracker on so his crowd of armed ex-military could ambush the SG crowd. You keep talking about his hail-mary plan inside the games and pretending like this was his main idea from the start of the show.
lol yea it's like they went over the top with contingency by building all these false doors and maze-like structures but then didn't care about the most important things. Funny to think about it like that lol
4B has been a thing there for many years before this recent US election. It's not a meaningless thing in their society at all from what I learned. I'm not saying there is only one reason for low birthrates but the ruination of traditional relationship dynamics is for sure a big factor. What's incorrect about that? There are plenty of developed countries that don't have the crazy competitive culture of sk/japan and their birthrates are also very low. One of the big reasons for that is cultural and it's related to feminism but of course there are other reasons. If you think SK is such a based country then how come there are many shows with a strong emphasis on strong-women who kick the big bad guys butts all the time?
His "plan" was to take a gps tracker inside his tooth implant so outsiders could raid the island... It's not necessarily about revenge, it's about taking out what he considers to be evil-doers and put his blood money to a good use. Maybe you're the one who is too stupid to understand what's going on?
I don't really mind it but I thought Seong breaking the glass on the main door to easily unlock it from the inside was kinda goofy lol
If you want to talk about contingency, they should have a strong gate/door that the players wouldn't be able to open and then just throw some sleeping gas inside and that's that
I think you're delusional if you think SK culture is based, they are ground 0 for ultra feminism (check the 4b movement) and have the lowest birthrates in the world presumably because relationship dynamics are completely shattered.
Not saying it's normal for them to go full pro-tranny but they usually have a lot of muh strong-woman narrative already so i'm not surprised to see it. Maybe my expectations are too low.
I agree, got the same vibe from that scene. I would say Nr.001 was willing to go along with Seong until he saw Seong's plan was completely hopeless to the point he had to rely on Nr.001 to find a solution to it (by finding a way around) at which point it was clear Seong's plan could never have worked without Nr.001 which means Seong no longer deserves to "win" it.
I was interested in seeing Nr.001 explain his rationale and expecting something like that. Unfortunately Season 2 part 1 ended a bit abruptly lol
I'm as much of a transphobe as the next guy but it didn't really bother me. It was a bit too much on the nose sometimes but if they kept it more subtle then I wouldn't have cared at all. I thought several characters were all right, the focus of the show is more on the relationships between the characters and not the characters themselves per se. I liked the show, I'm looking forward to see where it goes from here.
Yea absolutely. Looking forward for season 2 part 2 lol
Careful making common sense claims, people just can't handle it. You're totally right though.
You're crazy, I think Cristin did great and that her role was quite demanding. She was convincing as a psycho. Something about Oswald's side-kick felt off to me as well.
