Netflix has not been left behind as far as challenging conventional cinema is concerned, one of much-anticipated releases is this new sequel to the 2019 Break Sweat thriller The Platform. The sequel of this film The Platform 2 is expected to drag its audiences deeper into the vertical prison set in a dystopian society as seen in the first part of the film.
The Idea Behind The Construction of The Platform
up, viewers were immersed in the harsh thematic of a penitentiary created in a tower that has hundreds of floors. Every day one platform with food comes down from the upper floor, the upper ones can get food which is a feast while the lower ones are left with barely edible scraps. In this aspect, the film dealt with the issues of class division, the struggle for existence, and people’s actions in severe circumstances. It criticized the society in the most graphic manner which many viewers failed to comprehend but admired its shooting; more so it elicited debates on issues of social justice such as disparities in wealth in addition to advocating for critical thinking on moral issues.
Expectations In The Emerging Form of Platform 2
The second Platform is believed to start from the end of the first film and explain more of the things concerning the tower. The first game featured a limited number of characters and their fight to stay alive while the second game is rumored to be much broader in that, it is looking to shed more light on the tower and more importantly the mysterious system that puts it up. In its early trailers, one gets the impression that the sequel will be even more focused on the problem of social and economic inequality world, but from a different angle.
Viewers should be ready for an atmosphere, which is as oppressive as it was before, with serious themes, staked scenes, and rather unexpected turns of events. There are also likely to be previous facets of the story that similarly look at the effects of the tower on the characters’ psyches of how living through the incident can either make or break one’s soul.
Cast and Production
Not much can be said about the upcoming cast for The Platform 2, but some speculation has suggested that some characters from the first film may be featured with thespians through flashbacks or different roles and arcs. Apparently, the original movie’s gal, Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia, would be directing the sequel which would retain the old movie’s inherent style and feel while taking the plot to the next level of a grim, dystopian setting.
The Things to Look for in Themes
The storyline of the original film was dedicated to the evident differentiation of the characters’ statuses: the Shi, who symbolized wealth and power, and the Ge, who represented helplessness and miserableness; the protagonist’s act of heroism and people’s selfishness. It is quite probable that the same themes will be developed in Platform 2, which may explore generating questions concerning the nature of society and how it perpetuates oppression. But if we consider the subject and the number of people becoming aware of the differences between the rich and the poor in the present world, then there are chances that the film’s message might be better received by global audiences in the current time.
Furthermore, the sequel can be aimed at revealing a new plot or developing new motifs like rebellion, ethical issues of survival, and the mentality of people who are responsible for the tower. These additions might help to transform the movie from a plain thriller to a work that investigates philosophical problems.
Conclusion
Thus, The Platform 2 is another Netflix horror to present an intellectual concept which contemplates constructs of society and humanity. The lovers of the original did not lose hope and are waiting for the continuation of this innovative story, willing to get back to the horror of the vertical cage. As more information comes out on who is starring in the movie, what exactly the movie is going to be about, and when the movie will be coming out, fans will be eager or what might be Netflix’s most popular movie of the year.
