    Hey all hope you liked the video.
    A while ago I made a video about movies and tv shows I would never make videos about.
    And I said that I wouldnt do foreign ones because, mainly, I didnt think they would work with my video format.
    So with this video Im trying something different from my usual style.
    If it goes over well then maybe Ill do more like this, or at least change up the video style sometimes or something
    Anyway let me know what you think

    I'll be honest, the old man being the ring leader of Squid Games was a total mindfuck for me. Even more so than the police officer's brother being the guy running the show. Hands down, this was one of the oddest and most unique shows I've seen in a while, and it had opened me up to other interesting Korean shows. Many of the foreign Netflix shows have been fantastic.

      Making the old man the ring leader was the worst decision they made, it totally removed the impact of the relationship between him and the main character. And it also defeated the point of squidgame, in squidgame everyone is supposed to be completely equal, the old man being the leader meant that it wasn't fair.

      Overrated and overhyped are still not valid criticisms though. Like Squid Game has its flaws, but I'd rather people discuss those rather as to why they don't like it than keep saying those and basically telling the many people around the world that fell in love with the show they're wrong for liking something as much as they love Squid Game.

    Here is what i suspect - him seeing his mom dead was supposed to be an original ending. This show was clearly originally written as a one season thing, considering how all of the characters, except for the main one, ended up. Plus, the pacing of the last episode is really weird.
    I think that originally he was supposed to meet the Old Man before going home, maybe in the car instead of the Front Man, then go home and see his mom. Or maybe he would never find out, but we, the audience would?
    However, somewhere along the way, after reading the script, Netflix people realized the potential of the Squid Game and asked the director to change it to an open ending in order to do more seasons.

If Netflix told him to change the ending S2 would have been confirmed like 2 hrs after S1 dropped on Netflix.

    I think you misunderstood the part about him winning and coming home to a dead mother- it did have meaning, and i assumed it was pretty surface level. The pursuit of money, most contestants were given a chance to leave the game and remain living life thru their struggles and hardship as they once were (i say most given the results of the first game) but a large confusing amount of them returned to the game given the risks and what they were leaving at home (ie; sick mom, lady who’d given birth to an unnamed child, etc). This was a choice to choose either the pursuit of money over lasting memory and “quality time” with family. “The Pursuit of money is the root of evil” is a constant theme in this show. While many efforts are to showcase how desperate these people are i believe their experience in the games brought out the worse in them and/or ended in their demise, while on the outside they were just human beings going thru a human experience. quick riches dont change the reality of your situation. Im sure the protagonist wouldve given his life to have back that time with his mother.

    I actually really disliked the VIPs at first too because of their acting. Then I read a post from one of the actors that they all acted that way on purpose, that it was part of the script. Then I realized that rich people in the real world aren't mustache twirling masterminds that are intelligent and sophisticated. Most rich people that didn't earn their wealth are just childish dicks who think too highly of themselves. So I dislike the VIPs less now because they are a more accurate and authentic portrayal of people like that. I still find it super cringe, but it's also supposed to be. They are supposed to make you feel uncomfortable.

    The point of that scene was not to show that the old man was correct, it was to show he was wrong. That is implied by the homless man actually getting help. The old man is too far gone in his beliefs to see the actual truth. He only sees the dark side in people as opposed to the main character. I don't think we are meant to accept what the old man is saying , it just gives us an explanation into how he sees the world and why he would conjure up these games.

      i have to disagree. when you have enough money for you to be well off there's always something you can look forward to saving up to(a vacation, trying expensive foods, getting a different car, etc.) but when you're rich you have nothing to look forward to, you have no "next big thing!" to do because like Oh-Il Nam said, you've already tried everything; from expensive foods, to going to every place on earth you could possibly want. it gets boring. ever wondered why so many billionaires are now wanting to go to space and stuff? they have their own reasons but I personally believe that deep down its because its the only thing left that they haven't done yet.

In fact american media is INCREDIBLY popular in south korea, most koreans adore america.

    There is an interesting interview with the western actor who plays the nekkid VIP. He explained a lot about why it comes across so cringey. They have very little control over the script and it is being written by non native English speakers. They only see the script parts with their lines so they have zero context. If the lines seem a bit unnatural to them they might say them differently in other takes but the people editing won't know what sounds more natural in English and so won't use those takes necessarily. Just how an English speaker editing someone speaking in Korean won't know the natural intonations and cadences etc.
    We are seeing westerners through they eyes of South Koreans in this case and so it is like a characature of a rich westerner but that is the same thing that happens to foreign actors in Hollywood too.

    The ending of 456 choosing to play Squid Game than seeing his daughter was already foreshadowed by the very fact that he wasn't there during her birth because he had to help his co-workers during a strike. So it makes sense why he'd keep that character trait. He would sacrifice his own pleasures to help others, but the games tested his selfishness especially during the marble scene with the old man. The marble scene paralleled the hospital scene with the old man too.

It's like me saying star wars is shit because its unrealistic. This one was definitely a miss imo. Like, what was his mindset going into this? Did he expect it to be realistic or something?

    I think it's interesting how everyone is bothered by the VIPs scenes, and don't get me wrong, the acting is terrible and the characters and dialogues are veeeeery 2 dimensional. But for once people see what that's like when it's done to white, rich characters while having the entire Asian cast being so deeply developed. It changes the way we see representation and helps us understand better what it feels like to only have these cardboard characters as references.

    • @andrewfheilman
      @andrewfheilman 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      As a screenwriter for any television show, the general rule that allows everyone to enjoy the characters, is that you yourself as the writer, or director, to not pick faveroites. There are many movies where all the cast members are perfect and have equal amount of screentime and are generally liked like jurassic park, or batman 1989, or back to the future, these box office marvels accel from audience appreciation because of the way the characters are treated not just by the other characters in the show, but also by the heads of the show behind the scenes, I think where Alex was coming from, is that the VIP characters were portrayed in such a way where the only thing the writer or director or even the actors who played them thought of the characters were just 'Oh, there just supposed to be trashy americans.' that gives those characters the deepness of a piece of paper. It's just strange to see that with all the other characters are treated with respect, (Even the protagonists) and then you get to the VIPS who are just badly written.

    Unpopular Opinion: him leaving his daughter makes sense.
    He made a bunch of promises to her as he normally does, and as usual none of them ever work out. She goes to the US, hears nothing from him for a year. When he finally does make contact he says he’s going to come see her. But then he decides against it after finding out the game is still running.
    It makes perfect sense that he would do this given his character throughout the show. He knows he’s already disappointed her hundreds of times, what’s one more if the lives of 456+ other people are in the balance? He’s not being selfish at all, if anything he’s being incredibly selfless. He’s denying himself the freedom, life of security and relationship with his daughter that he’s been craving for years, and (potentially) throws all of it away to ensure what happened to his friends (and him) never happen again.

      u could already tell it was very, very unfair before the VIPs were revealed, and almost all games were inequitable to a significant degrees, not just the tug of war one. i mean like, i certainly wouldnt exactly call the second game very fair, in which your likelihood of success in the game is determined by the shape you picked at random. not to mention the marbles game, which also had an element of luck, and the tug of war like you mentioned, and the night time bloodbath (which albeit the latter wasnt technically a proper game, it was pretty much one as the guards had the power to stop it at any time and chose not to), which both depended on strength mostly, a characteristic that was clearly very unequally distributed among the players/teams in the fight/tug of war, respectively.

Is it then unfair that someone wins and someone loses? All parties involved agreed to the terms before the game was played. So the coin is then perfectly fair. Equal chance for all. The strength based game of Tug of War was also fair. By virtue of your own choices in life you could increase your odds of winning. Work out or use strategy like the old man did (there is an argument to be made that it was unfair for him to compete what so ever, since he also picked all the games thus could know more about how to win). Equality of chance does not equate equality of outcome. It was brutal and horrible and even evil, but the games themselves were fair. Luck was something they all could have equally.

    I think not ending it on his mom's death makes the show have the same message from a different angle.
    Making the emotional climax that he got the money but lost what matters puts the focus on what you lose in the process. But focusing on the fact that he doesn't want to spend the money puts the emphasis on the shame that comes from the scummy things he had to do to get there.

  • @lofi-lila

    You know, I think a bunch of these problems could have been solved if it wasn't for Netflix's "There must be a season 2" ideology. What really intrigued a lot of people about the show was the elusiveness of the Frontman, and they threw that all away with a Wattpad level "tHe HeRo AnD tHe ViLlAin WeRe AcTuAlLy BrOtHeRs". If the show wanted a season two, I would have preferred for them to cut out the 'plot twist' with the Frontman*, and make season two about how the guards ended up in the ratrace, because.... who would ever sign up for that willingly?
    * Currently debating whether the Old Man Plot Twist should have stayed in the drafts too

    • @MyMagnificentOctopus
      @MyMagnificentOctopus 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, this one does try to pull a Double Shyamalan, and I am not sure it works. The old man twist is... kind of bad, but I suppose it could survive. The brother as the frontman is worse... but maybe recoverable. Together I think they are too much and it just feels kind of forced and overdone.

    The whole point of the VIP scene is to actually make you cringe
    We've been spending too much time with the players we feel the danger and fear they've been feeling .. now they took you upstairs to show you how these people are seeing them
    They're not on the edge of their seats and they don't flinch when someone dies
    They laugh and wave it off and cheer

      The reason it's cringey is not because of the way the characters act but because of the way the actors act. There's a big difference. It's not that deep, the acting just sucks.

    I thought it was a good show because I liked the characters and the emotion. I really enjoyed how they made you empathise with the characters. I especially felt for Sae-byeok, who just wanted to save her mother and live safely with her and her brother. And Ali, who put his wife and child before him and made sure they were safe.The actors did such a great job. I was a little confused about why there was SO much hype, but still, I thought it was good. There are some questionable choices, but that doesn’t make the entire thing dumb. I mean, your main focus in this video was on the ending. Also on another note, the English dub is awful. I hope you watched it with subtitles, as the original audio really captures the raw emotion.
