Note: This contains spoilers Squid GameThe final season.
As Squid GameThe third season concludes with a finale entitled “Humans are…” We are pondering how to complete the phrase. Looking back at the major sets of the three seasons that Gore spilled out, the unresolved statement is also an open question for audiences.
Squid Game It’s a show that you wouldn’t be too enthusiastic about having fun. At its heart, the spectacle is gladiators. It’s bloodsport, something that can be seen with conscience simply because modern audiences are fictional. 456 Hopeless and beneficial people scooping out of the streets of Korea, taking part in a deadly kids game, each adding money to the pot. The final player wins a huge prize. The fusion of brutal violence through Playschool’s aesthetic only amplifies the perversion of the scenario.
Squid Game Some horrors are portrayed and condemned, but exist in the paradoxical genre that perpetuated after the season. Evil is never completely defeated, as Netflix always wants more episodes. At the end of season 3 the baton was handed over to the US, so I feel that Korea came out at the right time. But for all the darkness of that concept, Squid GameThe story has a core of light.
Gi-Hun is not a Christian character, but he does so at the kind of self-sacrifice Christians are called.
Winning the game in season 1 Seong Gi-Hun (Player 456) I’m hoping to return to Season 2 and shut them down. We are by his side – of course we are – we know that he cannot succeed. For the show to continue to exist, a good guy must fail. We are not sadists (hopefully). I don’t want to see it Squid Game Because we enjoy watching people get killed violently. We take care of the thrill of seeing heroes face and overcome fatal dangers. If Gi-Hun loses a moment in the first game, he will lose interest immediately.
nevertheless Squid Game Provides a roster of sympathetic characters. It’s Gi-Hun, who took us to a much more calm but satisfying ending throughout the series. He’s not going to win money with just all the contestants. To be willing to enter the world of violence with vice to save those trapped by it is very Christlike, knowing that it may mean your own death. Despite the darkness of the show’s theme, perhaps, in fact because The good of it -gi-hun is radiated throughout the story.
He is by no means a perfect picture of Christ. Gi-Hun runs through difficult episodes after the episode, disillusioned, disillusioned, compromised, depressed, disillusioned, compromised, depressed.
Democracy is a season 2 and 3 twist. After each game, surviving contestants vote and end things there and split the current prize. Gi-Hun becomes a prophetic voice, breaks out of death and heads towards freedom, but like many of the Biblical prophets, he finds himself in the minority. Greed and fear bothers the majority. Many of them give the sacrifice of another human being if it helps to pay back their personal debts.
Disappointed by democracy, Gi-Hun applies his own band of followers to avid routes. As reflected in so many modern superhero films, the only way to defeat violence is with violence. However, his rebellion is crushed. He is betrayed by the cowards and Judas, and is returned to the game with a fierce defeat.
But before despair begins, he is given the means to guide it. With Season 3 open, Gi-Hun took the right path for the first time and surrendered to the game’s demons. In the slasher version of the hideout, he turns his eyes only for vengeance and hunts ward disease. Kandeho (Player 388), he condemns the failed coup. But his vengeance, however weak, is fulfilled. Then comes the dark night of his soul. He joined the game in hoping to free people from death, and now he has blood in his hand. He seems to be a number of Christians who are full of enthusiasm for God, but stumble upon his sins and flaws, finding himself spreading in the mud with other humanity.
Gi-Hun hits the bottom of a rock and can throw an unexpected lifeline. While his mind was set in vengeance, other sympathetic characters made their own sacrifices to protect their pregnancy Kim Jun Hee (Player 222) Long enough for her to give birth. A new life enters the realm of death. With Junhee’s allies gone and her death is almost guaranteed, she turns to our discouraged heroes to protect her child. Compassion delivers him and gives him a reason to continue.
However, Gi-Hun is presented with one last chance of rescue through violence. He makes it clear that he was a game once.” Frontman And then provide him with a knife. He kills other players while sleeping and is free to leave with the baby. The same choice the frontman was given when he played the game, but in a place where he succumbed to the way of the blade, Gi-Hun refuses. To save the evil one and put them in danger, the innocent person is a ridiculous decision in a world where the phrase “human is…” followed by “…just a body.” But for Gi-Hun, refusing to pick up enemy weapons for what seems like greater benefits, as for Christians, is to emphasize the sanctity of human life.
The odds are unfavourable when he enters the final game with Baby 222 tied to his chest. It has three height podiums and long drops. One person is required for each podium. Turning into a non-fun, pushed-in matches, it becomes a disastrous case study in mind games and wild negotiations. Once each player is eliminated, the stakes are shifted, putting Gi-Hun in various dilemmas until the final fateful decision. When it’s all over, he finds himself alone on the podium with the baby and needs a final death.
Of course, there is only one right decision. However, costs are not very easily accepted. Protecting innocence against violent attackers is one thing. It is a completely different thing to know that in a cold silence, the only way an innocent person can live is if you are nothing or if you plunge into the concrete floor below.
“Man is…” he mutters, falling. He gave him his answer.
Squid Game Often it often shows human, whether it is the inhuman voyeurism of VIP, the twisted morality of the game maker, or the greed of the player’s own cutthroat. In each of these examples, we see a person succumbing to a basic instinct. In contrast, Gi-Hun walks narrow paths, harder paths, endure countless sufferings until he finally lays his life as others live. He dies in obscurity, only the enemy is watching him. Those who died to save do not remember him.
Gi-Hun is not Jesus, but in many ways he embraces the characteristics of the suffering servants spoken in the Prophet, the archetype filled with Jesus, and, of course, those following him. The apostle Paul explains it in the way I imagine it by looking back at his own experience of following the path of Jesus.2 Corinthians 4:8-9).
Gi-Hun is not a Christian character, but he does so at the kind of self-sacrifice Christians are called. And if Christians are the first fruit of the new kingdom, it means that the call will be extended to all of humanity. “Man is…” Before Gi-Hun Intones enacted humanity at its best. For us, looking at the comfort of our living room, his final words are invitations.
