Hello. This is Jung Dong-cheong, a psychiatrist. Not long ago medical treatment There was a very sad incident in the middle. One of my favorite movie series is the 007 series starring Daniel Craig. During the patient's medical treatment All of a sudden, you talked about the ending of the 007 movie. recent The ending of the last 007 movie featuring Daniel Craig. The ending of the movie that I had been looking forward to seeing in the theater for the first time in a long time. The moment I heard about 007, my self as a psychiatrist and my self as an individual who loves 007 collided. As it was a doctor's office, I had no choice but to follow my duty as a doctor. It's sad, but this is what a psychiatrist's life is like Isn't it? If I can help you, it's 007. You are willing to make sacrifices.
The introduction was a bit long. From today, it will be titled "Mr. Jung's Doctor's Office" I'm excited to talk about movies and dramas with you. I'd love to talk with you in the future. If you have any works, we will look for you at any time. There is one thing I would like to tell you, that our 'Jung's Doctor's Office' will be used in movies and dramas. Trying to talk to you about life has the side effect of being exposed to too many spoilers. Note. Grief is halved when shared, but I'm I don't want to share with you the pain I've experienced recently. Therefore, if you don't want side effects, We ask that you complete the stop ahead of time and then watch our video again.
Well, today, we are going to the world's hot work "Squid Game" Let's talk about it. Today, the video itself is a bunch of spoilers. Therefore, please make sure to complete the stop before watching our video. There are nine episodes, but it's so exciting that it won't take you long to watch it all the way through. I'm sure many of you know the story, but to summarize briefly, it's a huge sum of money The drama "Squid Game" begins when 456 contestants, who are in debt and driven to the brink of life, gather on a remote island. If you participate, you will win a prize He seduced people to play the game 'Mugunghwa has bloomed' They mercilessly shoot and kill those who are eliminated from the game. (Episode 1, 45:44) Fed up contestants want to quit the game, only to find out that there is a huge prize of 45.6 billion at stake. It's another mess. Democratic voting chooses to quit the game and go home, but most participants who have already found themselves at a dead end in their lives choose to come back and get back into the game.
In "Squid Game," there are several There are some fascinating characters, but the core is the four grandfathers: Gi-hun, Sang-woo, Dawn, and Kanbu. The protagonist, played by Lee Jung-jae, Seong Gi-hun, who lives in Ssangmun-dong, takes out a loan To a mother who squanders her money on horse racing, doesn't even know her daughter's birthday, and uses it as an excuse to sell at the market as a birthday present. He is a pathetic person who steals his pocket money, steals his mother's cash card, pulls out 500,000 won from his bank account, and runs to the racetrack again. (Episode 1, 5:50) If I had to define a person named Seong Gi-hun in Ssangmun-dong, it would be a sloppy person. To put it more nicely, I'm an unstoppable optimist. On Gambling That's what it means to be addicted. According to probability and statistics, the more you continue to gamble, the more you will lose. We don't acknowledge mathematical truths and waste the present in the vain expectation that we will hit the jackpot next time.
Another character, Cho Sang-woo, is Gi-hun's neighborhood Even though he is a junior, he is a senior student in the Department of Business Administration at Seoul National University. (Episode 2, 23:41) While working at a securities firm, he siphoned off clients' money and invested it in stock derivatives and futures, losing 6 billion won. In a way, Gi-hun and Sang-woo They were all addicted to gambling. The type and scale of gambling are different, and Sangwoo is pessimistic The only difference is that they are trained to keep their eyes on it and minimize their investment risk. Life It may not be a coincidence that the last two people surviving in Squid Game are the ones who were addicted to gambling. Life is Did he want to talk about gambling?
Kanbu grandfather Oh Il-nam old man has a brain tumor It is a participant who is living a life that is on the end of the day. Combined with the symptoms of dementia, I can't survive the game It was like a contestant. Gi-hun has been taking care of him since the first time he met him. Even in the fourth game, which is played in a group of two, Gi-hun has no one to mate I take care of my grandfather, who doesn't want to do it. However, in the fourth game, one of the partners has to lose his life. It was a brutal game to play. Gi-hun deceives an old man who is in and out of his mind due to dementia in order to save himself, and Grandpa Kanbu gives Gi-hun all his marbles to Gi-hun even though he knows all about Gi-hun's tricks. The famous "We're Gangs." I leave a line. (Episode 6, 55:00) Was it because his life was running out that he was able to sacrifice himself for the kind Gi-hun?
Gi-hun pickpocketed the money he won at the racetrack Kang Dawn is a character with a painful past who was separated from her family while defecting from North Korea. In the process of defecting, my dad After her death, her mother was taken back to North Korea, and her younger brother had no choice but to leave her in an orphanage. (Episode 6, 26:34) Pickpocketing to collect money is an inevitable choice to bring her mother back from the North, but for Dawn, who has lost trust in others and is left with nothing but evil and only to protect her family, good and evil It didn't make sense anymore. Then things start to change in Dawn. When Ji-young, whom she met for the first time in the game, gives up her life without hesitation for Dawn, who took care of her first, she begins to regain her trust in others little by little. (Episode 6, 49:19) When he sees that Gi-hun, who has been pickpocketing, continues to take care of him, he later takes care of Gi-hun and tells Gi-hun to give him his He even asks for his brother.
Of the 456 people, including these four, 255 died in the first game, "Mugunghwa Bloomed", and 201 remained. Of the 201 people who voted and went home, 187 come back and join the game. now People die not only to win the prize of 45.6 billion, but also We go into the game with a clear awareness that we have to win in order not to win. People ally with each other to survive You realize you have to make a connection, but as the game progresses, you'll have no choice but to betray your trusted companion. Is it human nature to deceive others for one's own sake, or even kill others? It's just because the money is at stake, because lives are at stake Is that why people abandon their honesty to deceive and betray others? On the other hand, I haven't even met him for a long time Wouldn't it be more rational to sacrifice one's life for the sake of others?
Someone makes concessions for someone else, When you perform an altruistic act of sacrifice, people praise your deed and appreciate the spirit of sacrifice. However, in an act of altruism, Assigning a high value can also be interpreted to mean that the behavior is just as rare. Yourself Sacrificing and helping others reduces one's chances of survival, so it was difficult to explain this phenomenon with the evolutionary theory of survival of the fittest. Later, the theory of reciprocal altruism emerged to explain why some animals, such as humans and primates, exhibit behaviors that help other individuals. Remain Helping may be detrimental to you in the short term, but if the other person reciprocates your actions, Because in the long run, it can be as beneficial to each other's survival as it is to have insurance. Once upon a time in the neighborhood The fact that people had a meeting can be interpreted in this sense.
However, when people help each other There are prerequisites that must be met in order to be sustainable. The good deeds you have done for yourself will later be shown to you You have to be guaranteed to come back. If you help the other person but the other person doesn't help you Mutual cooperation will not last.' In "Squid Game", at first, people help each other and cooperate, and then the game As they progress, they betray and kill each other, and the reason for this is also found. As you go to the next level, the survivor Due to the decreasing nature of Squid Game, there is a very high probability that you will die or your opponent will die in this game. Because it is high, rather than doing good deeds for others and expecting that good deeds to be rewarded, first of all, This is because it is a reasonable choice to secure survival first. From this point of view, from the time man was born It's not about being good or evil, it's about giving when you can afford it and taking care of yourself when you can't afford it—I think that's the nature of most people. In 'Squid Game' Sang-woo, the most cold-hearted character, also took care of Ali's car expenses when he was walking to Ansan because he didn't have any money at first. (Episode 2, 17:16)
Meanwhile, after 6 hellish games, Gi-hun becomes the winner of Squid Game. Gihun's I didn't win because I had good judgment. The reason Gi-hun was able to survive until the end was actually Sang-woo It was thanks to the help and luck of the people around me. Gi-hun has never had any luck in his life, but when he played Squid Game, all the energy in the world helped him. by the way Can Gi-hun's survival be attributed to luck? As seen in the drama, Gi-hun He lives without thinking, but he has a very kind heart. He also tries to save Dawn, who pickpocketed her money, and even save the life of Sang-woo, who tried to kill her. Someone I'm going to say that Gi-hun's kindness has been rewarded. Really? Is it because the world is such a place where good people are always rewarded, so Gi-hun was able to survive until the end? Were the other people who took part in the game and lost their lives punished for not being nice?
Robert Axelrod of the University of Michigan The professor is known for his research on how cooperative behavior in humans has evolved. Two people to each other In a game called "The Prisoner's Dilemma" where you can choose between cooperation and betrayal, a certain I did a study on whether choosing a strategy is best for the individual. If you only play the game once Betrayal is the biggest gain, but if the game is repeated several times, it is relatively better to cooperate. It becomes advantageous. The strategy with the highest probability of success here is to be unconditionally good to the other person at first, and then It is said to be a way to respond to the other person as you would do to them, and to forgive them once in a while. As long as you do a good job, you'll only lose, so the other party When you cheat, you need revenge. (Episode 7, 44:13)
If so, just give it to others all the time How did Ha Gi-hun become the winner of Squid Game? Wharton School psychologist Adam Grant argues that there are some people who give and those who only receive, and those who give and receive. I did a study on whether it succeeded. Research for medical students and salespeople In my research, the people who performed the lowest were those who only took care of others. But amazing The fact is that the highest performers were also those who gave to others. If you help others The probability of himself getting help also increases, so it will be a big reward like Gi-hun winning the final championship. You can do that. It turns out at the end, but when and Thanks to Gi-hun's willingness to take care of others wherever he went, Gi-hun has unwittingly gained the most supportive support in the game.
This is my personal opinion, but another good fortune Gi-hun has had is that he has been able to avoid a moral dilemma. As the game gets more and more intense, you'll have to sacrifice the lives of others to survive, but Sangwoo will take care of all the inhumane actions you need to do in order to survive. In the marble-grabbing game, where Gi-hun was the only one in a moral dilemma, Gi-hun also developed dementia in order to survive He deceives the old man, but even this is free from guilt thanks to the goodwill of Grandpa Kanbu. Since there were no situations in the course of the game that would have caused him to feel guilty, he was able to maintain the perception that he was a victim rather than an accomplice. long ago It's a very different situation than the frontman who was the winner of the game and later became the person in charge of the game.
Gi-hun will keep his conscience until the end But it's not easy to judge whether this is pure or naïve. Telling Dawn that the two of them should survive to the end and share the prize money, or that the organizers of the game didn't realize that they wouldn't leave two winners behind. It can only be seen as an act of ignoring it until the end. Dawn asked Gi-hun, "Are you naïve or stupid at that age?" Gi-hun is a person who sees the world as beautiful as he wants to see it. Unlike Gi-hun, Dawn is the one who survives the other's I talk about taking responsibility for my family. (Episode 8, 20:43) The fact that he was injured and couldn't survive to the end may have played a role, but he escaped Dawn, who had experienced the harsh world of being a pickpocket, must have realized that the beautiful ending that Gi-hun dreams of would not be possible.
Survived until the last game with Gi-hun Speaking of the other person, Sangwoo, is actually not that cold-blooded. Participant No. 218 Sangwoo's goal is only to make his son's success It's about sacrificing for the sake of my mother. (Episode 2, 23:14) The moment he sees the prize money pouring down from the ceiling, Sangwoo's goal is solidified. Sang-woo is ready to put his all on the line for his goal. (Episode 2, 5:40) In order to become the winner, Sang-woo does things that he wouldn't normally do. Someone who believed in himself Betraying Ali, and before the final game, the three of them In the remaining moments, he stabs a knife into Dawn's throat to eliminate the remaining rivals.
However, the final to become a winner In the game, Sang-woo is defeated by Gi-hun and is in danger of losing his life. Gi-hun plays the game to save Sang-woo He says he's going to give up, but Sang-woo stabs himself in the neck with a knife that was next to him. (Episode 9, 13:12) This is also a rational choice for Sangwoo to achieve his goals. For Sang-woo, his survival is an ending that doesn't help his mother at all. So he gives up his life so that Gi-hun can win the prize and asks Gi-hun for his mother instead. The moment the best option became impossible, I chose the next best option. Their They wanted to cooperate with the other person by making extreme sacrifices of their lives, hoping that the other person would take care of their family in return.
Become the final winner of Squid Game What awaited Gi-hun when he returned home was his mother's corpse, lying silently. The one you cherished and loved Gi-hun, who lost all his people, cannot recover from the trauma and lives like an abandoned person. Letting go of the thread of life Gi-hun didn't even go to Dawn's brother and Sang-woo's mother as he was asked. If the mother If he hadn't returned, the winner's life could have been different. Mother's surgery as a prize I may have set up a shop for you so that you can do business comfortably. Or even if my mother I may have made him quit his job as a street vendor and made him comfortable for the rest of his life. however Gi-hun had no family left to take responsibility for. Even the daughter taken by my divorced ex-wife left for the United States. It was a state. He had no purpose left in his life to justify the hell he had experienced.
Gi-hun again puts a business card We accept. It was an invitation from my grandfather, who I thought was dead. When Gi-hun realizes that the person who hosted the hellish Squid Game was Grandpa Kanbu, he is furious. Grandpa Kanbu, who is dying of a brain tumor, makes a bet on whether anyone will save a homeless man who has collapsed in the snow. Just before the 12 o'clock that I proposed and promised, Gi-hun You win your bet. What are the odds of such a miracle occurring in time? I think the last game between the two of them was Grandpa Kanbu's last gift to regain Gi-hun's will to live, which he was living like an abandoned man." Do you still believe in people? After going through that?" I ask Gi-hun, but in fact, Grandpa Kanbu himself He wanted to regain his faith in humanity, and he wanted to revive Gi-hun, the last hope he had found. I think it's a scam. (Episode 9, 35:12) Unaware that it is Grandpa Kanbu's last gift, he returns to his life with hope for the world.
In the final scene, the protagonist, Gi-hun, Appears as a redhead. It's a symbol that you've been born as a new person, different from the Gi-hun you used to be. But Gi-hun's red hair is somehow awkward. real Is it true that I was born as a new person? The protagonist, who is about to board a plane to the United States to meet his daughter, calls himself You'll run into Gong, who invited you to Squid Game. Gi-hun, whose trauma was revived after seeing the sharing, took the plane Instead of riding, he chooses to take revenge on the Squid Game organizers. (Episode 9, 49:29) You have repeatedly made the mistake of losing your cool and failing to keep what you are supposed to keep in life. Daughter Even when she was born, she couldn't stand by her family, and when Dawn lost her life, she was the one who left her. I didn't think it would be dangerous. Gi-hun chose justice instead of keeping his promise to his daughter. Will Gi-hun repeat the same mistakes as before? If you're What choice will you make?
