"You're not you when you're hungry" - Snickers

You're aloud to bring one thing with you in the platform. One guy brought a surfboard.
-
This is how you make a movie with a message. Do not lecture your audience. Make them reflect on the themes of the movie.
-
It's all fun and games until Matt Stonie becomes a resident of the first floor.
-
Damn, shits crazy. I love movies with these kinds of concepts. Makes you think.🤔
-
A starving person will probably go beyond morality just to get food and comfort.
-
I love movies like this. Morality plays like 1984 and animal farm, both by George Orwell. Spanish cinema is underrated.
-
Best interpretation yet by far. Thank you for putting so much thought into this, beyond what I was able to understand. This movie really impacted me and now I know why exactly.
-
The first few minutes helped me understand the Stone Soup story because I heard of it but never the actual story before. Also I love the imagery you used for if Niyat lol
-
Absolutely loved this movie, and your explanation. Keep up the good work!

The plot reminds me of “the tragedy of the Commons,” when there was communal pasture in Colonial villages where one could graze their horses or livestock for free. It only worked if everyone used it infrequently, but most everyone thought “others shouldn’t over do it, but it is okay if I use it more than I should,” leading to the pasture being turned into overgrazed, barren dirt no one could use.
-
Remember that one movie The Cube. Another thought I had is when people try to make an agreement for trickle down economics.
-
Another great video. This is one of a handful of channels that legitimately get excited when a new video is up. Please, keep up the amazing work.

Despite the main characters ideology and self determined superior sense of justice he’s changing nothing. He’s just a hamster on a wheel in this system thats actually controlled by people he can’t see or do anything about. You can’t change circumstances of the system and force people to be good. You can only choose to be good where you are.

The one detail I see missed is how the interviewer was wrong about how many floor were in the tower. I submit all information she gives is either half truths or wrong as she was not accurately informed of the tower. It seems the marylin Monroe wanna be actually did have a kid. I think she rode the platform to the bottom each month to bring food of any sort, I.e. human flesh if needed, and would spend the rest of the month with her child.

In Russia we have similar story,only it was a soldier,who cook porridge from the axe.
-
My friend recommended this and then we watched it, he is a good friend, obviously
-
I calculated that you would need about 2 million calories to feed everyone on all the floors with a sufficient amount of food. I don't think that's fitting on that table.
-
Remember watching this and enjoying the idea behind it. Makes you wonder what would you do in this situation
-
even the title of the movie itself speaks - where ever class you are in, you have your own responsibilities and willpower to use whatever PLATFORM you have to ensure goodness for all humankind
