Squid Game: A shocking Message The Movie passes

Squid Game is a South Korean movie watched by millions of people , written, and directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk. The word "Squid" is derived from some children's games. This the player played for their survival. But reviewing the movie isn't my major focus. After watching the just released season 3 of this movie series, I had a striking discovery of the message the movie is passing across. To some, the movie teaches a game of survival, to some greed, and to some, just an entertainment. But the movie is worth more than that.

In the movie we came across several individuals, each with their traits, but they all had one problem "Debt". To the business tycoons who were wealthy men, believed "death" was a way of relieving one from the suffering of "poverty" and the only way to live was to "Fight to survive".

Player number 456 who had returned felt he could stop the game and that's where the movie story lies. He eventually died sacrificing himself to give a baby a chance to live. His message fell on deaf ears because men never solved the root problem which was "Debt". As long as people keep entering debt, the game is not near end.

You may wonder why the bosses chose the squid game rather than any other games. Was it entertaining? Yes. But there was more to it than just the entertainment, it was to answer a law where only the fit survive, and the children's games were perfect games that had set genius apart right from childhood days. To them weaklings do not deserve a chance to wealth, all the bosses understood was ruthlessness.

Now here is the message. Daily our streets are filled with poor people, these are men who are either tied down by debts, had given up on life, or regrets had swallowed their courage. Such men are vulnerable to whatever promises them wealth even if it means putting their lives on the line. Poverty is a disease that spreads so wide and can hardly be cured. Once one is plagued by it, he becomes a slave to it, and if unfortunately it is a country, then its citizens are at risk of becoming slaves to certain masters who see their lives with less worth.

The only way to secure a house or country from certain crimes and evil is to first deal with the root problem, and in the case of the movie, the root problem was "Debt and poverty". As long as the problem is not dealt with, the game goes on. The blue and red card will still linger in the street.
