In a prison where inmates are fed on a descending platform, those on the upper levels take more than their fair share while those below are left to starve on waste and one man decides to change the system.. The film is shot chronologically as Ivan Massague had to lose 12 kilograms (26 lbs) during the six-week shoot to show his physical deterioration.. When the characters are on the platform, it moves down not as fast as before.. Goreng: The people above won’t listen to me . Imoguiri: Why not? Goreng: I can’t go up.. Featured on FoundFlix: The Platform (2020) Explained (2020). I really enjoyed this movie, especially the beginning. The first part is great when the host and the first 'cell mate' they speak The dialogue is great and really sharp. This momentum is maintained for most of the movie, but it still seemed to stall somewhere in the third act, and honestly that was the end of the 3rd act. There’s a lot of build-up and mystery and come the third act, they set it up like they’re going to get some answers and make a change, and then it’s just like flat. You keep waiting for something to happen, but it doesn’t. Is there a plot twist? At the end, but then it still just limps along for another ten minutes until the credits roll. The allegory is also very in your face, but it works for the most part. My interpretation is that it is an allegory about social classes and rich versus poor. But it doesn’t make much sense. For me, they get a random floor every month, so it’s not a class that just changes. With one mouth you are the rich and with the other you are the poor. I understand that in itself is interesting as you never know where you will land so you have to treat everyone well. I guess I wish the action had been determined by where they landed, but maybe that would have been a different movie. I would also love to explore the world more. This idea is so intriguing, why was this facility made, who is the administration, has anyone ever left alive? I feel like this movie could have dug deeper into the lore of this world and really fleshed it out and colored it a bit more. So like I said I think most of this movie is great but there are just some moments that kind of knock it off for me but they don’t ruin the movie so watch it
