Just finished Squid Game. Here are my notes:
-sQuid game (Shall we play a game?)
-red light green light little girl with pigtails judges you
-Faceless sadistic elites
-Human trafficking
-Organ harvesting for China
-Island with tunnels (Epstein?)
-Occult animal masks (e.g., Eyes Wide Shut, Bohemian Grove, covid, etc.?)
-On Episode 7 (perfect number) player number 017 (Q?), can look at the light in the glass (looking glass?) to know which steps they should take to finish the game
-Player 456 (POTUS 45 and 46?) beats their game, becomes wealthy, sees the horror being done to people by this sadistic criminal elite, and dyes his hair bright red (maga hat?), forgoes a peaceful life with his family and vows to take them down (trump?)
After some additional research:
Interesting fact about the creator:
(Hwang Dong-hyuk's) second feature, Silenced, from 2011, gave him his first taste of viral attention. The film explored real-life incidents at South Korea’s Gwangju Inhwa School for the deaf, where young students were sexually abused by their teachers in the early 2000s. The film became both a box office sensation and a catalyst for fervent social activism, eventually resulting in local lawmakers passing a bill that eliminated Korea’s statute of limitations for sex crimes against minors and the disabled.
This looks very watchable. Right now all I know is that Cowboys & Aliens is on Amazon Prime, FINALLY.
One of the great failings of all of cinema was them naming that movie what they named it and showing the alien spaceships in the trailer. Had they marketed that as a western with a technology twist...maybe called it...Desert Sky or something vague like that, and in the teaser all they had showed was Daniel Craig's wrist thingy...that would have been one of the funnest surprises I'd ever seen in a theater.
Instead I went in knowing full well what it was about and ruined the whole thing.
