Hidden meanings in Film noir: THE PLATFORM Part 1 & 2 (2019/2024 ) - There's nothing special about it...

Published on 29 June 2026 at 07:34

Thank you for joining us once again on this thought provoking journey towards redemption as we look beyond this movie's grotesque, gruesome, and appalling storyline and scenes, into its social inferences and lessons for humanity. Read on and build a new mentality from the life lessons listed below. 

  • Ruined Rights 
    Each platform in the pit receives leftovers from the platform above and those in the lower levels of the platform get nothing and result to barbaric means of survival. In the part two of the movie, it is revealed that everyone had his rightful portion of food allotted according to what they requested before being admitted into the pit.
    This aspect of the movie is an allude to the ruined rights of men in reality. It is a proverbial expository on the problem of imbalance caused by power. If you put it in the perspective of 'True Love', you would understand that everyone has his rightful true love, and 'LOVE' is the creative essence behind wealth, innovation, and social balance. Just as we have tried to explain in our eBooks, if we could make reasonable efforts towards respecting each other's rights our world would be better. 
  • Contentment and Religion 
    Baharat becomes Goreng's cell mate at a reasonably good level 6 but he wasn't content and wanted to ascend upwards while leaning on religious promises. His attempt at climbing with his rope was ridiculed and he almost fell into the pit.
    This scene served a lesson to manage and build our world properly rather than aiming or hoping to climb to heaven. For if we cannot manage our affairs on earth, then even if heaven existed as an afterlife, our presence would only be a corruption to it. What can we achieve in this physical realm, on this platform level called earth. How can we manage our affairs and respect each other, rather than an escape from reality, accountability and responsibility by hoping on a religious promise of eternal bliss after death. 

 

  • The Message 
    The duo attempt to send a rebellious message of leaving an entire panna cotta delicacy untouched back to the administration. They fight through all the levels in this attempt but on the last level they meet a lonely hungry kid who eats the panna cotta. It is an epiphany as the duo realize the misdirection of fighting for food should actually be a focus on protecting the rights of the weak and less privileged. The child becomes the message.
    In reality, the hope for a better world, a better level, and a better life is found in the realization of helping the weak. Our hope for advancement, scientific improvements, economic advancements, and space exploration is hidden in how much we can help build each other because everyone carries an aspect of our development hidden in their DNA programming. This point of how only a balanced combined effort can bring about the world we desire has been resonated countlessly in our reviews and eBooks.
  • Rebellious Freedom 
    After the inhumane punishment melted out by the 'messiah', the inmates rebel against the loyalist movement of proper sharing of food. They fight and eat as they like with a rebellious claim of freedom from the oppressive policies of the messiah. They do not see the bigger picture of those far below who get nothing, and they do not see the need for maintaining peace. Things spiral out of control and leads to unprecedented suffering and war. With no management and no order, everything breaks down, and the upper levels eat their fill, piss and spit on the rest of the food going down the platform.
    It is a contradictory social dilemma but let us attempt to put it in proper perspective.
    During my days in the university, there was a rumor about campus girls being whores who danced naked for top politicians. There was a particular rumor on a politician who used 'high-class' campus girls like trash, they claimed he was a drug baron and was so disgusting that he sometimes put his whole leg in the pussy of the girls. I couldn't fathom the entire rumor and I wished it off as a fantastic fairytale. But now when I see porn videos on sites like xvideos under tags like 'Angelo Godshack 100% hell', I feel disgraced by my own naivety. Obviously, I have been a really big fool.
    We rubbish the rights of those less powerful than us, we degrade ourselves in the name of freedom. We forget the reincarnating and multiplying aspect of our existence because of religion, blinding religion that misdirects us towards a hope for life after death rather than efforts towards a better reality. We can be on the lower economic balance of life in a reincarnated life, just like the occupants of the platform wake up in a different level.
    Freedom indeed! Even the 25th birthday of girls considered old enough to be freed from the bonded service of cheating fraternity and bond entrapment systems, is done with a humiliating farewell, and it seems the age for freedom has been increased due to complains which have been worsened.
  • Leave Room for Error 
    The brutal enforcement and punishments from the loyalist movement towards the management of food distribution and corrective methods causes a rebellion that leads to much death and suffering.
    These sequences first provide a lesson against rage and emotional decisions, before it then reminds us that our world is imperfect and consequently there is no perfect plan.
    Always leave room for error to symbolize that there is nothing special about it. This is not to say that you should actively look for ways to ruin things, but that you should have a consciousness that things don't always go according to plan
    Even in the crossmatching of true love between the DNA strands as revealed in our eBook 'To Right A Wrong', there appears to be a problem because 13 is an odd number. This means that one DNA is not perfectly matched in love. It is a lesson to be flexible and careful not to become a brutal dictator while trying to ensure your plans.

Our review comes late because I spent three whole days, from Friday till Sunday, watching porn and trying to excite myself with the moans, grasps and pleasures of swollen boobs and impaled pussies, but I was in self denial because I tried to escape my reality yet I found no relief for the message which kept pounding at the back of my head; '10 years to correct the rights of love or a 100 years to prepare for total destruction, 10 years or a 100, 10 years or a 100'.
All I can do is go back and hold on to the subtitle of this review; 'There is nothing special about it!'. I cannot take a gun and force people back to the rightful ways of love and things, neither can I go to the G20 and request for resources to prepare for total destruction. Maybe its just my mind playing tricks on me, maybe its just someone trying to transmit an error message rather than the hope of a better world we try to focus on.

If it is really a message from God, then someone help me tell God that all the prophets are dead, and even recently my psychiatric counsellor claimed that everything preached about has evidence in the bible, but my claims had no evidence. I do not have a rod that can part the red sea, I cannot walk on water or provide fishes and loaves for a crowd. I have no evidence, and I sound insane with my talk of demons and angels. 

What ever, I can do nothing!
