That if you're rich and somewhat aloof and not exactly a social butterfly, you deserve to go through a horrific experience like this?
I like David Fincher but this film somewhat rubbed me the wrong way
It's about One Hell of an Intervention...which saves the character from (more than likely) a future of suicide and depression.
Great responses everyone. Also, you have to think... if he never got to play this game, if he hadn't gotten this wake-up call... he probably would have ended up killing himself just like his father. If you still really don't get absolutely anything from it then your lose I guess.
shareIt was more than getting a wake up call and preventing a suicide. The game put Van Orton in his father's shoes. It showed him exactly how he felt when he took his life. What it was like to be at rock bottom. Showing him this allowed him to FORGIVE his father. He understood him after the game. It was about forgiving his father. Wonderful story no matter how ridiculous some parts of it are.
give me a stage where this bull here can rage and though I can fight I'd much rather recite.
The message of this movie is:
First-world problems are important.
First-world problems are more important than anything else.
What a rich guy 'feels' is more important than whether hundreds of thousands of human beings die of starvation or being murdered by drones and 'soldiers'.
There was a relatively recent news about a sniper, that was able to murder someone from three kilometers away (or was it three miles). It was a world record! He must be so happy!
Not so sure about the victim's family.. but who cares about those.
Rich people are important, and their emotional well-being is more important than those pesky people in the deserts, whose family members are being murdered constantly.
North Koreans? Pffft! They aren't as important as the emotional life of a rich guy alone in a mansion! HE is what we should all focus on, not worrying about the BASIC NEEDS of millions of people.
Emotions and feels, they're the best!
That's what this movie is saying.
