The Platform Movie Review

The film The Platform focuses on characters confined to a deep prison called "the hole", where levels of prisoners are stacked one on top of another. Each level receives a tray of food that descends through the hole, with the upper levels receiving full meals and the lower levels only scraps. The main character Goreng volunteers to enter the hole to earn a diploma. He learns about the harsh conditions and social dynamics between the prisoners. The film examines themes of humanity, social status, and capitalism. It teaches about solidarity in difficult circumstances and how those at the top benefit while the bottom suffer. The open ending leaves the viewer thinking deeply about these issues.

I.

THE PLATFORM

Reflection Questions:

1. Identify and describe the people, places, events, or aspects of


people, society or mature that are the focus of this film.

The characters in movie “The Platform” are Goreng, Trimagasi, Miharu,


Imoguiri, and Baharat. Goreng, the main character, has volunteered to be in the
hole to get the diploma. Trimagasi, an old man who’s Goreng first saw in the
cell and Goreng first floormate/cellmate. Trimagisi chose the hole over prison.
Miharu, is a mute woman who has been in the hole for 10 months and every month
she always search for her young child by riding to the platform. Imoguri, was
an employee of the Administration for 25 years. She interviewed the people who
were sent to the Hole. Baharat, the new cellmate of Goreng and helps Goreng
attemp to go down in platform.

Their is only one setting/place, the hole. The Hole is a prison with
hundreds of floor levels and has a giant void in the middle. Each level has 2
prisoners. Higher level has a tray full of prepared food, which stops at each
level for a 2 minutes. Each floor consumes the leftovers of the level above so
lower floors eat the leftovers of those above them.. If someone kept food after
the platform leaves, their floor will either heat up or go cold and freeze them
to death. Each person is inserted randomly at a level for a month, then drugged
and relocated to another random level if they survive or still alive.

2. List three facts described in the film that impressed you and
explain how each fact relates to Economics and Globalism.
Humanity, Status and Capitalism. The film relates in real-life economic,
life status, and Capitalism. Human should have a sense of solidarity even amid
impossible conditions, human beings have a responsibility to one another. Like
in real life some people get what they asked for and take even more and other’s
don’t even have the chance to get or ask for anything. Those at the highest
levels are the rich as they are treated to meals while those at the lower
levels are the poor left over.

3. Did you learn anything from this movie? What was it?
Yes, this film really reflects how we act as a human, the fact that some
people didn’t even try to think about those below them. And this movie made me
realize that the low level you got the less you will had, the upper status you
are the more greedy human being is.

4. Describe any aspect of the film that showed you something you
hadn’t seen before, caused you to think in a new way, or helped you
understand something more thoroughly than before. In addition,
describe how it changed your thinking.
The movie lead me to reality that people needs to be as one or have a
solidarity for example government who refuse to listen to the voice of the
people who’s suffering, people leads to form socialism that may include
violence or worse death. So it is really important that the government and the
people knows how capitalism and socialism works.

5.What did you like best about the movie? Why?


The best thing about this is psychological film, what it says about our
world, our status our choices and how it affects others. And this movie leaves
an open-ending story that makes you think hard about it.

6. If the filmmakers went to ask you how the film could be


improved, what would you tell them? Describe the changes you would
suggest in detail and the reasons for your suggestions.
I would like to suggest that the ending must be that Goreng was going to
get a culinary degree to be a chef to cook for the people or prisoner in the
hole because I think it is the best plot twist.
