‘Squid Game’ Season 3: How a critique of democracy come to the fore

This article contains many spoilers of the 3th season of “squid game” in Netflix.

“SQUID” is an exciting film twisted, with ordinary people and two financial struggles playing children’s toys to death for the entertainment of the hidden wealthy. Under this surface, the creator, writer and director Huang Dong Hyuk included a political social comment amid the shock and awe of the novel, the novel Gi-Hun (Lee Jung-Jae). The characters despair with the end of the epic, forcing these messages to death through the colored outer surface.

“It was the result of the high topics and stories,” said Huang of those ideas that became more clear. “They have become more pretty and more intense as a natural pathway to the story.”

The global phenomenon, which is still the most watched Netflix offer (its first two seasons is the number 1 and 2 in the Streamer list at all, with nearly 600 million views so far, according to Netflix), ends with its own terms with the release of its third and last season on Friday. What a bow of every J -Hoon’s bow has finished it. To what better extent to representing Huang’s topics for the final stage, the winners and winners of the winners, with its destructive strength, and how the uncomfortable can take advantage of the defects of democracy, instead of photographing an ordinary person who was collected by the hand of invisible pain for profit?

“You can say this is a story for those who have become a loser to the game, and also those of us who were shaken to our essence because of the chaotic political scene,” said Huang, who spoke to me, via a translator on a video call earlier in New York. “I wanted to focus in the third season on how in this world, where constant greed is always fueled, it is like a forest – strong that deals with weakness, as people climb up higher by walking on the heads of others.”

Hwang said that Idi J-Hind became blood stained in the competition in the third season. “This is the first time that someone has been killed [in the games]. He said: “This person who symbolizes goodness, the original sin is now because of what society did to him, how does he pick himself up from that? This is the heart of the third season. Somehow, we all put in this position because of the capitalist society and the chaotic political situation. Gi-Hun symbolizes what we all go through these days.”

When we meet it in Season 1Gi-Hun down and outside, militant gamblers. Through the terrible Gantlet in the first season of the fatal children’s games, the outer is embodied with a rusty edge until all the remainder of a flawed but good man is left. Gi-HUN is a person who sees what he believes clearly, while the sudden hero of games becomes.

But after it reaches that peak, Season 2 He drowns him in retreating from the rotating ship when he becomes obsessed with revenge against the two-way elite who finance the game and the Lee Byung-Hun, which supervises it. Gi-Hun is on the brink of its goal of destroying games, just to see them all brutally intermittently. The season finds 3 broken men, near Catatonic with guilt. Without him to direct players who love less blood, games will enter a scary phase of comprehensive chaos, from which an unexpected manner emerges in the redemption for the hero.

“All these changes within the Gi-Hun are photographed with such precise details,” he told me, “very precisely and with many layers. You will see that Gi-Hun has a heart change. Sometimes his beliefs will be shaken. But despite all, he will continue to find hope and will.

“All these changes within Gi-Hun are photographed with such delicate details, and accurately with many layers,” said Li Young Jay about his personality and Hwang Dong Hyuk.

“All I can say is, I am a very lucky man. You don’t come with characters like Gi-Hun every day. It was a real honor,” he added.

LEE manifestations of “Squid game” supported almost a comic contrast with Gi-Hun. He is the star of a handsome movie, elegant, always wears sharp clothes. In the show, especially with the deterioration of the Gi-Hun in the third season, it has been destroyed.

“Jung-jae has gone to this very harsh diet for more than a year so that he can photograph it, from the outside, pain and breakage, to really express the extent of his stomach, mentally and physically.”

Gi-Hun is not the only person destroyed by games. Another distinctive feature of the exhibition is its evaluation of the characters to the admired candidates, as well as the “Game of Thrones”-as well as the preparation for their heterogeneous killing. The viewers will dill their stadiums when the Commando Tando Hyun Joe (Park Song Hoon), also known as the 120 player, dies in the third season. Huang has already paid for the reverse reaction.

“It is not the one who did that! It was 333,” he shouted, blame the murderer.

“I wrote and faced everything, I knew he was coming, but he was still painful. It was,” Oh, come on, come on. “

He told me: “For some characters, I saw them going and really feel sad … I think the director Hyang is a harsh man.”

When Huang asks what death made in particular, he feels this way, he does not hesitate to cite another beloved personality, the pregnant contestant John Hee (Joe Yu Ri), describing the death of the third season “sniff”.

My sensitive and sophisticated course in Lee, where Gi-HUN-made a deep human being between madness and madness with greatness and killing in a bright green and pink-pink-pink-character. The ideal Litmus test for HWang’s criticism of an economic system designed to produce winners and losers who face extermination. It is a living symbol of Huang.

He told me: “I feel the director Hyang is a truly artist.” “I mean something closer to concept artist. Because when he creates his pictures, not only to please the eye; It focuses on the meaning behind them. he [stacks] Pictures are on top of each other, as if to build Lego Castle. Each small block has a meaning: every dialogue, every editing flow and [each use of] The musical result.

As Season 3 reaches boiling, some Huang’s symbolism becomes less accurate. In one of the games, it is similar to that of the contestant clutch, as one player leads others enthusiastically, for the better or for the worse. The moment of the victory of one character before a plated rainbow occurs (rainbow flags are also associated with the LGBTQ community in Korea). Huang’s exact criticism of democracy comes at the forefront.

“I feel the director Hyang is really an artist,” said You Young Jay from the creator of the exhibition. “I mean something closer to concept artist. Because when he creates his pictures, not only to please the eye; It focuses on the meaning behind them.

Unlike the first season, as the contestants had one opportunity to vote to finish games, in chapters 2 and 3, the votes are taken after each competition; When more players die, the fate is larger and larger. With only a degree or so from the participants, the vote to quit smoking means that everyone will be alive, and with large money. The vote on continuing means, frankly, they will be killed to become rich in an obscene way.

“In the past, at the time of the elections, despite our differences, we all gathered; there was more tolerance through the conflict process,” said Hwang. “I don’t think this is the case anymore. Instead, the elections [have only driven] Societies in a greater division. I wanted to explore these topics in seasons 2 and 3; For this reason, the vote was included in each round. “

Huang aloud calls for a defect of democracy, which allows the majority of the majority to subjugate nightmares – even more nightmare to those who voted against them. The winners who are ruthless continues to remind others in the third season, it was a “free and democratic vote.”

He said: “This does not mean that I have a different answer.” “I wanted to ask the question because I believe that the time has come to us to try to find the answer. In the first season, I looked at the faults of the economic system that creates many losers because of this unlimited competition. In the second season, it described the failure of the political system.

“Upon reaching the third season, because the economic system has failed, we have failed politics, and we seem to have no hope,” Hanging added. “What hope we have a human race when we can no longer control our greed? I wanted to explore it. In particular, I wanted to that [pose] This question for myself. “

And what was found? Does he still believe in humanity?

“Well, I don’t have the answer,” said Hwang. “But I have to confess, frankly, I think I am more charming, and I am working on” squid game. “
