One Sci-Fi Movie every night #1: The Platform
Tonight's movie was The Platform.
I don't even know if "enjoyed" is the right word because this movie just made me uncomfortable for most of its runtime.
The idea is so simple, but the longer it goes on, the more messed up it feels. What really got me wasn't the violence or the shock factor, it was seeing how quickly people change when they're put in a system that feels unfair.
There were a couple of moments where I caught myself thinking, "Yeah, I'd definitely do better than these people," and then five minutes later I wasn't so sure anymore.
The movie also drops a small piece of information about how the prison works that completely changed the way I looked at everything that came after it. That's when I realized this wasn't just a survival movie.
It's weird, frustrating, and sometimes hard to watch, but it's definitely one of those movies that stays in your head after the credits roll.
Anyone else spend way too much time thinking about this movie after watching it?
