Personal Insights
Conversely, it’s unfortunate that most of the focus of the project ‘Bored Games’ was largely spent on the subjective idea of horror comedies and not the evident satire on humans being hosted in an isolated environment. These dominate the Box Office enough that economics would dictate a successful finishing product. The economic value of human pain has never always been incoherent with oppressed societies and the developed world. It is clear that for oppressed subjects, economics always precedes whatever need that comes next ongeverthed. The most interesting thing about the American 911 hoax is that the funded their super terror attack with absolute silence so as not to collide with the of the BLM’s strife and international conflicts.
Cultural Significance
The movie strongly critiques the state of society. It demonstrates that the so called civilization is superficial and as such it can easily give way to chaos. The work explores life, reliance and the frailty of the human mind, appealing to viewers, more so, with recent global occurrences that have made people to be cooped up alone. Bored Games ‘ is an intellectual stimulation film that makes the audience think about the basest instincts in a person in times of utter chaos.
