Because I watched the Korean drama "Squid Game", I went to see "Fraud Game" under the recommendation of others, but I feel that there is still a big difference between the two.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" >, thematically</h1>
From a general point of view, the two TV series are the same in terms of theme, both are suspense dramas, and what is exposed is also the ugliness of human nature.
While both are intended to reveal humanity through a game, Squid Games is more direct and bloodier, while Fraud Games focuses on brain-burning and detail.
"Fraud Game" is a game through a television station to make everyone suspicious and deceiving each other for huge prizes. No one dies in the middle, some are just competitions between people.
Although the origin of "Squid Game" also took everyone to the isolated island to make a game, it is shocking that if it is eliminated, it will be killed. Watching ordinary people die in front of them, that kind of scene is too bloody and too cruel.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="32" > two, rhythmically</h1>
Relatively speaking, "Fraud Game" is brighter, and "Squid Game" has more literary drama and a bit slower pace.
Because the game scene of "Squid Game" is tense and exciting, bloody and violent, when not playing the game, the communication between several people in private is a bit delayed.
And "Fraud Game" has always been good at the rhythm, and the tension is moderate.
In a way, "Fraud Game" is a TV series, and "Squid Game" is more suitable for broadcast in the cinema.
Director Huang Dong hyuk, who is accustomed to making movies, may be more adept at this way of shooting films.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > three, expressive techniques</h1>
In fact, the theme of these two TV series is not the first time it has appeared.
"Fraud Game" as early as 7 years ago, it can be adapted from the Japanese TV series of the same name, and it has made its own tv series with its own characteristics, and its strength is not bad.
But because it is based on someone else's adaptation, it has certain limitations, and it was 7 years ago.
The Squid Game is bold and much more fantastical.
If nothing else, let's say that even if you are on an isolated island and so many people die at once, your family will not call the police and the police will not start investigating? Moreover, this kind of activity has been done for many years.
However, the old man is so rich, he must have opened up the relationship with all aspects.
There is a plot in the TV series, when Cheng Qixun returns home and goes to the police station to call the police.
The police called the phone on the business card, but the other party was a woman and began to curse viciously. And Qi Xun called again, but the phone could not be called.
Such a setting makes people feel a little incredible, but also a little bit of contemplation. It seems that around him, someone has been watching him, and there is an invisible net covering him.
Even if you leave the game, you still can't escape the surveillance of the other party.
In terms of expression, "Squid Game" has more tension.
In the face of the fairness that the game has always preached, the lives of the poor are as cheap as grass and can be killed at any time. Either shot in the game or killed by a companion.
In the face of huge prizes, people show the first animal nature of human nature. In order to survive, use each other and kill each other.
But in such a harsh environment, the protagonists of the two TV series have lived to the end through their own kindness.
This may seem unrealistic, but it is exactly the theme that the writers and directors want to express.
And this may be the difference between man and beast.
Humans who have evolved into advanced animals have become kind and warm in the later learning and growth environment, but in the environment where the beast has been fighting for a long time, it is difficult to survive if it cannot be stronger than others.
Of course, the real society is actually very cruel, but I think it is more about kindness and trust.
