The Associated Presssurvival drama about desperate adults competing in deadly children’s games for a chance to escape severe debt, hit a little too close to home for Lee Chang-keun.
The South Korea-produced show pits Seong against hundreds of other financially distressed players in a hyper-violent competition for the ultimate prize, with losers being killed at every round. “In ‘Squid Game,’ you see characters scrambling to survive after being laid off at work, struggling to operate fried chicken diners or working as ‘daeri’ drivers,” who get paid for driving drunk people home in their own cars, Lee said. “That reminded me of my co-workers who died.”
South Korea’s rapid rebuilding from the devastation of the 1950-53 Korean War has been spectacular — from Samsung’s emergence as a global technology giant to the immense popularity of K-pop and movies that’s expanding beyond Asia — though millions of South Koreans now grapple with the dark side of that rise.
That violent standoff injured dozens and is woven into the “Squid Game" narrative. Seong has flashbacks about a Dragon coworker killed by strikebreakers while organizing fellow game participants to create barricades with dormitory beds to block murderous sneak night attacks by more vicious opponents looking to eliminate the competition.
What was the hint of this movie ?
Can SquidGame be the footsteps of forthcoming social revolution?
I have an idea for a novel or ‘Squid Game’ type show. People go to school, at the end of 12th grade, all the students that didn’t achieve a GPA of at least 3.0 would be put to death by Big Gov or used in ‘Hungry Games’ type activities. What should the novel be titled?
They should have raised their debt ceiling
Why is anyone over the age of 14 watching it? Everything about it looks cheap and just, awful.
I really have hated Lee Jeong Jae and Lim Sae Ryeong and Korean Drama & film. Hateful.
Oh great another import from China!
