Philosophers who have written about “the game” over the years.What “the game” represents in real life.What we know about Nicholas before he enters “the game”.So let’s work through a few points before we circle back to an explanation of the plot of The Game:
#Happy game ending meaning movie
And understanding Nicholas’s reason for playing the game will open up what the movie is truly about. And while everybody is playing the same game, we’re all playing for different reasons. Because, as I believe the movie posits, “the game” is a game that we’re all playing-of every hour, of every day. In order to understand the intricate details and overall meaning of The Game, it requires us to look outside the seemingly convoluted plot of the film and truly comprehend what “the game” is. It’s all explained to us in that final scene.īut what if we chose not to take the movie at face value? What if there was more to “the game” than meets the eye? What if all of the confusing elements of the plot we’ve tried to understand are distractions from the real story, from the true message of the film? If that were the case, then we’d have a much more philosophical conversation on our hands. So, if we take the movie at face value, then there’s not much to understand. While it may seem unbelievable, we simply have to accept the movie’s logic and believe that every confrontation, every mishap, every shootout has been part of an elaborate scheme set up by Conrad to make Nicholas believe he was playing a game. For the entire film, Conrad tells Nicholas that everything has been planned out. Once we finish the movie, however…the plot of The Game is pretty straightforward, right? Seemingly, everything is explained at the end by Nicholas’s brother, Conrad. And because of that, the plot of The Game can feel abstract and difficult to crack. At no point during our initial viewing of the film are we sure what is real and what is fake-in other words, what isn’t part of “the game” and what is. David Fincher’s The Game is full of twists and turns from start to finish.
