Starring Lee Jeong-jae, Park Hae-so, and Kong Liu cameoed in the 19-forbidden drama "Squid Game", since the Mid-Autumn Festival was launched, it has swept the world, and various discussions have also made fans of the drama hot!
The first game of Squid Games begins with the well-known "123 Wooden Men". After the "killing machine doll" finishes reading the recipe, if it turns around and moves, it will be shot and eliminated. In fact, the slogan of "killing machine doll" is not "123 wooden people", but "hibiscus blossoms", but the subtitle translates "123 wooden people", and domestic audiences can enter the situation.
The hibiscus flower, also known as the infinity flower, is the national flower of Korea, and it is often seen in Korea that uses the hibiscus flower as a representative symbol. Therefore, in the mantra, "hibiscus blossoms" is a national concept. According to the Analysis of Dr. Chen Qingde, a Korean cultural researcher, who once published "Korean "Wooden Man" who sings Japanese melodies (part 1): "Inside and outside are one" to make the game also have colonial overtones", "Hibiscus Blossom" is likely to be a game brought into Japan when it colonized Korea, and this game is "Tumbler Falls", it is difficult not to see it as a children's game spread under the influence of Japan.
Therefore, we have recently deduced that many people believe that the "Hibiscus Blossom" (123 Wooden Man) in "The Game of Squid" is copied from Japan in 2015, by the hunting master Takashi Miike's movie "Listen to the Words of the Gods", whether in terms of graphics or game means, it is very similar to the opening game "Tumbler Falls". Huang Dongyi, the director of "Squid Game", also jumped out to speak, thinking that he had begun to conceive "Squid Game" in 2008, and he did not copy it.
Looking at the trajectory of history, if "hibiscus blossoms" originated from "tumblers fell", then this game has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of both countries, and the use of this game as a plot design, if you can immediately let the audience into the situation, to emphasize the pejorative word "plagiarism", it seems a little too serious. Someone might say? What to say about the similarity of the picture? The same is true of designs that kill when you move? If this is a game like this, instead of cutting the picture back and forth, is there any more powerful way to present the picture? The method of death in "Listen to the Words of the Gods" is that the actor explodes himself, while "The Squid Game" is shot, which is not the same between the two. If you want to talk about other content, the beginning and direction of the two stories of "Squid Game" and "Listen to the Words of the Gods" are two worlds, and interested friends may wish to find a comparison.
In fact, the rest of the world includes the English-speaking "Red Light, Green Light" & "Grandmother's Footsteps", the German "Eins, Zwei, Drei, Ochs am Berg", the Netherlands "Anna Maria Koekoek", there are similar games, so "Squid Games" can resonate in various regions, starting with "Hibiscus Blossom", which is a very good choice.
Talking about the matter of "plagiarism", some viewers also mentioned that "Squid Game" is more like "Gambling Apocalypse" or other related theme works, but this is not the same as the living corpse theme, hero movies, even if it is to change the soup without changing the medicine, but who can become one of the best and the object of hot pursuit, who will succeed, right?
The craze of "Squid Games" has burned all over the world, even Netflix founder Reed Hastings has also put on the green sportswear in the show to show support, Netflix co-CEO and chief content officer, when publicly attending the event recently, also mentioned the success of "Squid Games", was given positive affirmation, thinking that "Squid Games" will become the most successful non-English original program in Netflix's history, which is really very powerful.
All 9 episodes of "Squid Game" have been online, because the content is full of bloody bridges, all of which are listed in 19 forbidden, friends who have not yet seen it, don't miss it!
