I can't say more, but if at the beginning the chessboard on which you move seems orderly, then, as we experienced well in the first season, from when you take your first steps in front of the immense sniper doll of “Un, due, three, star” every moment can explode into madness, exhaustion, adrenaline, fear, aggression, empathy that you take back at the first new difficulty, etc. And any type of shock decision can rain down from above, ready to divide and weaken the mass of players, if not invite them to eliminate each other. No one is safe in front of the armed and masked guards in fuchsia, no one is safe from the eyes of hundreds of cameras trained on them, no one, except us spectators and the policeman resurrected, knows that not only can one die there, but that one can also suffer the devastation of being dismembered and sold piecemeal to the highest bidder (which perhaps would be a major deterrent, even for the most greedy).
Squid Game 2
Well Ju-han/Netflix
I saw Squid Game 2 in one night and I felt really uncomfortable. In fact, that's exactly why I went ahead and clicked play and play againWhy I was continually hoping for some kind of salvationbut it is something that, together with justice, seems truly impossible once the mega piggy bank drops from the ceiling of the games shed to be gradually filled with new (blood-stained) money. You take sides, suffer, close your eyes, grit your teeth, jaw and fists like Seong Gi-hun and would like to protect the weak in history (elderly players, frail people or people too big to win in tests of strength, outsiders, etc.). You empathize with people and situations, but Squid Game this time it is not only ruthless, it creates an even greater and recurring sense of desperation for humanity and of heroism with no way out.
Squid Game 2 it hurts us and yet we can't do without itas if we in turn wanted to wake up from our bad dream, as if we wanted to ward off other threats of the present, like it's all just one big show of pura catharsis, which however does not occur completely and completely.
