The series Squid Game on Netflix is popular now, mostly due to its exciting story and nicely created characters. It's pretty cool, isn't it? what they do to choose which characters will play, or better than that, they did not choose which characters would be played. However, did you realize there's a theory that all it boils down to a single game that they play in the beginning of the program?
The Ddakji Game
The first time they played, the protagonist, Seong Gi-Hun, was playing Ddakji along with an unknown person. The game is played with two tiles flip and based on the color that is on the other, it will determine your destiny. It is believed that if you choose the Red tile indicates that you is a worker, which means you must play for the rest of your life. If you see the Blue tile then you're a participant and must compete in order for survival.
Implications of the Choice
The hue of the tile not simply a result of luck, it is a vital factor that decides where an person is located in the bigger picture of things. Employees, who are wearing the red uniforms, aid to stage games and keep an orderly environment, while the gamers are those who play to live their lives.
The Role of Workers
Even though the majority of players are struggling because of their financial problems There is no reason why employees would be willing to join. According to the theory, workers are also individuals that are struggling, but their fate will depend on their Ddakji choice, which adds to the confusion. The theory suggests that the most powerful of groups (the employees) can be an opportunist just as the other players.
Viral Theories
The theories' shadows have travelled through social media networks and particularly TikTok in which users debate the significance of colors and its connection to the larger themes of the series about survival, decision-making and the ramifications of being desperate.
Understanding of the Game
The concept of how employees and players are chosen to play Squid Game is an interesting fresh perspective to view the game. The show really illustrates the intertwined the nature of fate and choice and also the way in which psychological manipulation happens during the game. As much time as people devote to talking about and deconstructing these theories, then the more they'll be able to get away from the movie and talk about themes and motivations.
