Meals in prison
This Spanish film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year The science fiction movie The Platform (El Hoyo), whose Chinese name is "Hunger Station", recently swept the list of movies for Chinese audiences. Douban scores 7.7 points, and it is still rising. How good is this movie? Let’s take a look today. (The following content has spoilers.) Friends who often watch movies at
know that there is a type of movie called "Dystopian Movies" (please refer to Baidu for the definition, and do not repeat it). We don't know what the world will become in the future, but utopia will always be the cinnabar mole in people's hearts. Fantasy equality is an ideal that mankind pursues forever, but absolute equality does not exist philosophically. As long as there are people who make rules, classes cannot die. The 48th floor of
The solidification of the class and the status quo
The film begins, the male protagonist Glenn , brought a copy of "Don Quixote" to the 48th floor. The roommate is an old man with a sharp blade.
On this floor, the old man told Glenn about all the laws and regulations of this prison: prisoners need to stay on each floor for a month, and the food will be lowered from the first floor every day, leaving the food privately, the room temperature will become hot or cold until For the death of the people in this class, the upper class will not care about their life or death, nor do they need to consider the situation of the lower class...

who is eating is obviously a mirror image of reality. Everyone has his own class attributes from birth, and those at the bottom have to work harder. These efforts may be effective, but it is also more likely that it is difficult to get equivalent returns. Due to the rigorous stage system, it is difficult for the lower level to cross to the upper level, so they can only live cautiously and accept the resources given by the upper level. Any resistance behavior will be suppressed, so all the people in the rules have to do is to follow the rules!
Glenn insisted on not eating leftovers from the beginning, and turned into looking for the leftover wine on the table. He has become accustomed to the solidified 48th level of survival laws. The 107th floor of
The awakening of desire and the shaking of reason
If the 48th floor is the human world, then the 107th floor is really the beginning of hell.
When Glenn woke up, he was already tied up by the old man. Obviously, the food will not be left to them at 107, and his roommate is going to eat Glenn when he can't hold on.

rule. When the environment cannot guarantee survival, the society returns to the era of the weak and the strong. The weak are bullied, exploited, and even eaten by the strong. At this time, we can see that what they chose to bring into prison at the beginning was everyone's talents or skills. The male protagonist’s "Don Quixote" represents his conscience, and it also means that the male protagonist will be like Don Quixote, a compassionate but stupid warrior. He thinks that he can save the world, but he has no such ability.
On the contrary, the old man's knife dominates. Primitive society needs sharp blades as weapons. But conscience can only put one person in danger. The 33rd floor of
The right to speak determines the way of life
This time Glenn has a new roommate-a woman with a dog. She believes that there are only 200 floors in the prison. As long as the people above eat according to their share, it can be guaranteed that people on each floor will not go hungry. She asked downstairs to eat only her share, but she didn't succeed. Until Glenn threatened that if he didn't do this he would pull* on the food, and he succeeded.
trying to persuade the female roommate
to share the food downstairs is not bad, they are just too optimistic about the development of the situation. If everyone can abide by the rules, of course there will be no conflict. But the premise is that everyone's situation must be exactly the same. It's like you can never ask a person who is used to going to bed late to lie in bed at seven o'clock in the evening. The person who sets the rules cannot accurately predict the reality, so a policy often encounters resistance when it is implemented. But the right to speak gives them the ability to use armed means or violence to promote policy implementation.
On the 202 floor, talent is a cage, and if you give up, you get
. On this floor, the woman with the dog committed suicide. She thinks it is wrong for the prison to have only 200 floors, and it has become meaningless to persuade others to eat according to their share. After Glenn persisted for a few days, he also began to spend the rest of the day through cannibalism like his previous roommate.

We said before that what everyone brings is their skills or talents. A woman's talent is compassion, which makes her obsessed with persuasion. Glenn's talent is conscience. In many cases, our talents make us different from ordinary people and have more diverse choices. Just as I have such a talent for writing, so I contribute as a part-time manuscript and earn a small fee. But talent is also a prison. For example, a classmate who majors in archaeology, he will not guard the cemetery, he can only stare at the recruitment quota of the archaeological team.
Glen tore off his Don Quijote on the 202nd floor. We can think that it was his choice when he was so hungry, we can also think that it was his compromise with cruel reality.
6th floor Keep warm, think about change, persuade and abuse
in the sixth floor of the prison, obviously happy. You can see the almost complete cake, with fine wine, and more choices. At this level, Glenn and his black roommates initiated a change. They tried to divide the food evenly and relay the message to the managers. But as the floor went down and reached the 333th floor, his ideals were also shattered, and everything ended in the fifth month after he entered the prison.
The transformation of Glenn and his roommates
When consciousness is awakened, people within the rules will try to overthrow the existing regime and try to change the rules. At this time, violence will become the dominant force within a certain range. After a series of struggles, the result was two: it succeeded, turned the serf over to sing, re-established the rules, the bottom became the high-level, and became the power-led; failed, was deprived of some benefits, and continued to abide by the rules.
Glenn obviously wants to be a Don Quixote fighter, instead of expressing ideas from the lower class. But obviously, the information in his mind about this prison was derived from the integration of information from the hearsay, which was simply wrong. When the elevator reached the 333th floor underground, it declared the collapse of idealism and also meant the end of life.
However, the movie is the movie , and the ending often conveys the "dystopian" ideology through symbolic expression, such as the little girl in "Snow Country Train" and the mocking bird in "The Hunger Games".
The little girl on the 300th floor
In "Hunger Platform", the Asian little girl is a representation of French panna cotta, which is finally communicated to the management. But sadly, the point of concern of the Mediterranean father is: Is the hair stained on the custard? Otherwise, why was it transmitted back completely? In the world of
