Netflix's The Platform took me by surprise.

titled as El Hoyo ( The Hole ), guess they need to find a better name to market it. 

timely piece of work.

Multiple layers and throwing us a question is how we going to react when we at the lowest, how we act and decide when we "have" luxury or worst thinking that we ourselves are higher than somebody.


anybody transferred to any higher floor will get the golden opportunity to lay their hands on the table filled with delicious food before it lowered down until level 333. Talking about food....lets see the magical Maslow's Hierachy.


Same thing with position, benefits and salary.....The audience will follow and witness the journey of Goreng ( the Hero ) voluntarily submitted himself in these methodical prison with a book in return for an accredited diploma.

The challenges he faced forced him to re-act and decided to induct change.

 
In the end of the day, its not about opinions or lectures nor wise words or cheap advice we gave in order inspire others out to initiate change, its our action and responsibility. 


So Goreng and his pal decisively to make sure the dining table goes down with adequate food for the rest. During the course of their challenge, they met up with a wise man who advised them to safe guard the panna cotta. From a wide table filled with food, they are now focused upon The panna cotta. The delicacy now is a symbol of resistance and change which they need to  return it to the top floor as a mark of victory.




Panna cotta is an Italian dessert of sweetened cream thickened with gelatin and molded. The cream may be aromatized with coffee, vanilla, or other flavorings. Goreng and his pal sacrificed their lives to make sure the delicacy is safe throughout their continuous downward journey to hell.

finally they reached the lowest rung of the prison - lo and behold, we have a little girl.

The little girl got the panna cotta. Goreng asked to step aside after being informed that the panna cotta is not the message but its the little girl who is the message.

what sort of panna cotta we going to leave to the next generation?

The director gave us a real big clue of the film's thematic concept by showing us Don Quixote

just get the illustrated ones if words scares you ok

Don has several themes in the narrative.


morality and its changes 

chivalry ( the medieval knightly system with its religious, moral, and social code ) - see how Goreng decisively to help the Asian Marilyn Monroe and how she helped Goreng from being killed by his insane roommate.

insanity ( just like how we see people behaving during panic buying lately due to Covid 19 )


social status and its influence on conduct. 




Is Goreng dead or alive in the end of the film?

Yes.

Does he succeed to induce change?

Yes
