-The film is about poor people playing a game to change their lives. Those who fail will be brought to the ground as slaves.
- The squid game movie takes a few ideas from this movie : People who need money to play the game, Game across the bridge , Game for balls instead of cards ,An old uncle is a teammate ,Get the main thing meet an old acquaintance ,....
- The film is really emotional than "Squid game" . I don't know why the movie "squid game" is more appreciated than this movie.
This is a very entertaining film and with almost all films you know the hero is going to come out on top, this film is very good at baiting you into thinking he's found a way to basically cheat the system. I like the original idea that there is debt collectors who would victimize people to extort more from them including a sort of underground (ironically) mining operation that pays them a pittance then entices them to give it back in exchange for luxury items.
This film is a prime example.
As far as some of the reviewers above who have made presumptions of Japanese culture portrayed in the film, stating that Japanese people don't 'act' like the characters portrayed in the film, are making ignorant remarks. The original piece of work (either the anime series or the manga) is a psychological thriller, with great attempts made at in-depth analysis of the thought processes of the characters. The commentary made on the greed of society as a whole is invoking.
Bottom Line: Watch the anime if psychological thrillers are up your alley, its not drawn in typical cheesy anime style, nor is it cliché! Don't watch this film unless you have seen the anime, it will probably be a horrid experience! I recommend both Kaiji and the creator's earlier manga/anime Akagi. Both are extraordinary pieces of work in the otherwise cliché and worn out world of Japanese Animated television series.

- Zitate
Yukio Tonegawa: A Slave... why? Didn't you swap it before the blood sprayed on it?
Kaiji Ito: Sorry, but no. All I did was pull the face down Citizen and Slave cards close to me, then put a Citizen card over one, only to pull it back. In other words, I only pretended to swap.
Rinko Endo: He didn't swap them?
Yukio Tonegawa: Impossible! HOW COULD THIS BE POSSIBLE? WHY, WHY DIDN'T YOU SWAP THEM?
Kaiji Ito: That's easy. Because I had faith.
Yukio Tonegawa: Faith?
Kaiji Ito: Clearly, you're brilliant. Out of anyone I've ever met, you have the sharpest mind.
[holds up a blood-stained card]
Kaiji Ito: A man like you... would never fail to notice this blood. Of course you'd notice. And when you do, you'd be suspicious. You'd scrutinize it, realize it's a scheme and see through my plan.
[slams the card down on the table]
Kaiji Ito: YOU HAVE TO, BECAUSE YOU'RE SMART! That's why you'd be suspicious, and would recall how I'd swapped cards on the ship, and that I had the chance here. Then you'd snicker... how foolish I am. You'd be completely convinced. And why not? After all, your opponent is trash compared to someone like you. TRASH! You'd gloat. Because you're superior. NO TRASH HAS EVER COME CLOSE TO BEATING YOU. SO I USED YOUR ARROGANT SUPERIORITY AGAINST YOU! AND THIS PATHETIC SLAVE BEAT YOU!
