"The Platform", a movie with a Christian message
« on: June 21, 2022, 11:33:35 AM »
I just watched a movie on Netflix titled "The Platform". It's the dystopian setting of a vertical prison, rooms upon rooms with a vertical shaft running down the middle. Every day a platform covered with food starts at the top and goes to the bottom. The catch: people up top gorge themselves so that by the time the platform gets to a certain depth there's no food left. Once a month, prisoners swap floors so the well fed this month might starve next month.  We follow the adventure of one such prisoner.

The interesting thing is that it has a very strong Christian message. I won't spoil it in case anyone here wants to see it, unless people don't care or want to discuss it.

Warning: The movie has some rather disturbing scenes that may be unsettling to some.

OK, now I have to go watch it!

I love dystopia.  It reminds me of my homeland...

Danger, Will Robinson.  You will be assimilated, confiscated, folded, mutilated, and spindled. Do not pass go.  Turn right on red. Third star to the right and full speed 'til morning.
