Recently, all major platforms have been screened by a Korean drama called "Squid Game". Film and television dramas with the theme of "battle royale" are very novel for domestic audiences, and there have been film and television dramas of similar themes in China before, such as the movie "Animal World". However, at that time, the audience did not have the concept of "battle royale" theme film and television drama in their minds, and the plot was really not good, so it did not get good results.
"Squid Game" can be described as a complete "battle royale" type of film and television drama swept the mainland, the overall story presentation of film and television dramas is the way of suspense drama, until the end, you never know who is a good person and who is a bad person, who can live to the end.
At the same time, the film also embodies the evil of human nature to the fullest, and a gentle reader in life can also be transformed into a murderous demon who does not blink for money. Under this background, the male protagonist's kindness in the face of despair has become the most dazzling light in the whole play.
Although the TV series describes the "evil" in human nature in the length, in the ending, it is the protagonist who retains good thoughts that comes to the end. It can be seen from this that this drama is using the evil in human nature to reflect the glorious side of human nature, and the overall theme is still positive.
Because of this drama, many netizens are crazy like the "battle royale" type of TV series, so they have watched a lot of film and television dramas with similar themes. After watching other "battle royale" film and television dramas, the audience knew how naïve "Squid Game" really was.
Compared with Domestic and South Korea, Japan's film and television dramas on the "battle royale" genre are relatively mature, and TV series, movies, manga, animation, etc., produce a considerable number of "battle royale" genre works every year, and Alice in the Land of The Dying is one of the best.
Compared with "The Squid Game", Alice in the Land of the Dead appears in more important characters, and the shaping of the worldview is also more massive. Turning the whole of Tokyo into a big game venue, whenever midnight comes, players have to go to participate in a variety of games to earn a "visa" to keep themselves alive for the next few days, depending on the difficulty of the game, ranging from 1-10.
Who is planning this game? I don't know, is it a human or an alien, or a god? I don't know. The male protagonist can only gain the qualification to talk to the game planner by constantly participating in the game. The design of the game, like Squid Games, is very cruel. If the player loses or the visa expires, they will be killed, and the game is divided into strength, intelligence, and playing with the player's heart.
The clever thing about Alice in the Land of the Dead is that the game is relatively more complex, and the protagonist needs to use his wisdom to solve one problem after another. It's not all about luck like in Squid Games. Therefore, the overall story, "Alice in the Land of the Dead" is more complex than "Squid Game", and the story as a whole is more ups and downs.
At the same time, "Alice in the Land of the Dead" is not limited to the simple "good and bad" of human nature, but also believes that people will make different choices in different environments. This "reversal of human nature" is more wonderful than the flip above the story, a person can be bad enough to slaughter hundreds of people to be buried with his friends, or he can choose to sacrifice himself to achieve others because of a momentary good thought.
In addition, in order to make the story more three-dimensional, the director is no longer limited to a single "game force", but sets a third-party force in the game: the seaside. Players spontaneously form an organization just to give everyone a glimmer of hope in this desperate world.
But in the process of coastal development, it is inevitable that there will be some people who want to get higher benefits, there is no law here, everything depends on the iron fist. Once a dictator appears, it will no longer be a paradise, but a feudal empire that combines the suffering of all people for the pleasure of one person.
Losing its original intention called "Hope", this so-called paradise eventually became the final playing field. In the final game, hundreds of people die, and the waterfront is reduced to rubble in a fire. Where there is a paradise, being here, facing only despair. The so-called hope is nothing more than the ideal hometown created by players in order to escape reality. This ideal township is so fragile that a game can make it disappear.
But even in such desperation, the protagonist is still using his wisdom to get closer to the truth little by little. The male protagonist carries the will of his companions and continues to move forward in despair. Sooner or later, one day, he would rely on his own ability to shoot down the gods in the sky down on the altar.
Personally, I forced this "Alice in the Land of the Dead", if you haven't seen it, this TV series will not disappoint you.
