...this is a really interesting concept and I’m glad that you chose it, Niamh ...because it’s just so completely different to anything else we’ve watched...we don’t really get to know any of the characters/to engage with them because that’s one of the main points of it...that these 50 ‘random strangers’ are chosen for 49 of them to be ‘eliminated’ by death...(...except that they’re not entirely random because some do have knowledge of each other...)...but we don’t really know how the selection works or what the aim is...to cull Earth population and only leave those who can beat the Circle/survive the Circle...?...it’s always interesting to watch human nature and human dynamics in a ‘survive’ situation, pack together and isolate etc..and interesting as well because of the times that we’re living in now and how ‘selection’ for the vaccine first is based on vulnerabilities but with this instant life or death, thing...the old/vulnerable were selected to go first at one point...and then that ‘old’ got less and less ‘old’ as self protection kicked in so the age would become younger and younger...I thought the ending of that 50 was quite predictable in that he was going to go against the pregnant lady and protect himself...but yeah, we purposefully don’t get to know much about these people because we’re seeing them through each other’s eyes plus the eyes of the alien ‘selector’....it was unusual, it was interesting and it was a good watch...

It was OK, I knew that last guy was going to double cross them though. I was a bit confused by the ending, was that same guy going to be zoomed up again for another round? Was he a plant or were the aliens going to just keep beaming everyone up until there's no one left?

Who would you have saved Ammi? I think I'd have to go with the kid over the pregnant woman. Looks like there's no way she would have survived anyway because they counted her as 2 so she could never win.

...the little girl...always actual life over potential life which was what the unborn child was...there was no certainty that the unborn child would survive or that the mother would survive etc...(...also The Girl With All of the Gifts....children have a tremendous capacity for survival as well...)...


...I assumed yeah, that it would continue and continue until there was a stop to ‘the culling’....maybe they had a certain amount that they wanted to survive in having felt that they’re created ‘more superior/intelligent beings...the best of the best, type thing...

...I mean, it wasn’t a movie that you could attach to any of the characters particularly U.K. it was interesting because there was so little time to choose as well...as opposed to being locked in a room for hours and hours or days and days etc...

Also she was really cute :laugh: You'd have to be a special kind of **** to let her kill herself like that I think.

...yeah, he was definitely a special kind of **** for sure...I wonder if he would go on to become and expert manipulator and keep surviving circle after circle....hmmmmmm...
