In an interview with The Hollywood ReporterHwang justifies certain scriptwriting choices such as having staged a pregnant player in Season 2then a newborn in Season 3. He explains:
“” “As it is the final, I thought that to increase the issues and take a greater risk, like squid game, was the right solution. Through this, I wanted to expose the depths of humanity with even more precision and highlight an even greater hope. “
“” “I believe that through the baby, Gi-Hun is capable of approaching these themes in a more detailed way. I believe that we can all live in this world as we do thanks to the efforts and struggles that the previous generation has led to offer us a better world. And if we have to try to straighten the course of the world, it is because we want to offer a better world to the future generation. Thus, in our history, the baby represents not only human consciousness, but also the future generation for which we must change our way of being. “
The end of squid game is a total success: more than a phenomenon, a great series (critic)
The creator of Squid Game Added that history should not continue after season 3, and that, consequently, any spin-off in which it would have participated would fill the temporal vacuum between seasons 1 and 2.
During an interview with TimeHwang Dong-Hyeok looked at The role of VIPs in season 3, who, according to his vision, “inraise their masks, enter the game and kill others with their own hands”.
He notes in passing similarities between his VIPs and … Elon Musk.
“” “In the past, those who really controlled the system and maintained power were hidden behind the curtain, almost as an vast invisible conspiracy. However, this is no longer the case, especially in the United States. “
“” “They readily remove their mask, almost as if to declare: ‘It is we who direct everything. It is we who control ‘. “
The creator of the precise phenomenon series:
“”Elon Musk is everywhere these days, right? Everyone talks about him. Not only is he at the head of a huge technological company that almost controls the world, but it is also a real showman. After writing season 3, I said to myself: ‘Oh, some VIPs look a bit like Elon Musk’. “
Note that season 3 is also punctuated by the surprise appearance of a film star. It is in the last moments of the last episode that we discover Cate Blanchett On the screen, in the role of a recruiter for what seems to be an American version of the games.
