I recently watched this movie named The Platform. The movie was a great distraction from this monotonous life which we all are going through. So i thought of reviewing this classic movie. The movie was released on 6th September 2019, the director of the movie is Glader Gaztelu-Urrutia. He is a from Bilbao ( Spain). He has directed many movies like : The house on the lake , Las horas muertas, Crash.
The storyline of the movie The Platform, revolves around a person named Goreng, a man with principles and has recently been send to prison. He awakes in a concrete cell number 48 (forty eight) and he also discovers that he has roommate who’s name is Trimagasi ,a old man , he is been sent to jail due to a charge of murder. Trimagasi explains each and every rule of the prison and the functioning of it. The prison is a tower style facility in which the food is delivered through a platform, that travels from top to bottom. At each level it stops for a limited time so that the inmates can eat food and after few minutes the platform automatically shifts to lower level. The inmates on the bottom levels only get to eat the leftovers by the inmates on the upper levels. There is another rule in it that you cannot hoard any kind of food item otherwise as a penalty the cell will be heated or cooled to fatal extend.
This is a bit of description of the movie but as you go futher you will be introduced to two different characters, these are two women named Miharu and Imoguiri. Now here you will notice a bit of a sensuousness between Miharu and Goreng.
As you move on further you will encounter many brutal scenes and how in order to survive people become ruthless and practise cannibalism in order to survive. The movie is a absolute nightmare that how hunger can turn someone into a beast. It also give a beautiful message that everyone should help, value and share with one’s fellow man.
This movie has got 7 out of 10 rating and is also available on Netflix. The movies has also one “Goya award for the best special effects” and “Gaudi award for the best visual effects”. Altogether, in my opinion, it is a inspiring movie with a social message which one should watch.
