What is Platform 2 about? This is what fans need to know:

Below are spoilers for The Platform 2, now streaming on Netflix.

One of the biggest films on Netflix was the one from 2019 The platformwhich became popular during the COVID-19 pandemic. It wasn’t just about people needing content to watch, but also about the themes: humanity’s greed and mutual deceit.

It all took place in a Spanish prison and now the Netflix sci-fi film is back with a sequel. Of course, there are very important things to know in advance The platform 2 in terms of rules and backstory in this dystopian prison.

What is the platform?

The platform tests people’s greed

The first Netflix film confirmed that the platform is a building where criminals are sent or where citizens can voluntarily go if they decide they need to suffer. It features 333 levels, with food sent down via a floating concrete platform. Those at level zero and higher can feast and eat their fill at will. The Masters test them to see if they leave food for the others below. Due to human nature, most of the food is naturally eaten, causing the lower levels to starve.

Platform film series details

There is chaos below, people jumping down the levels and fighting for food. Some kill each other and others resort to cannibalism to survive. One cannibal who enjoyed this life was Trimagasi – a villain in the first film. He enjoyed the chaos and considered it a perfect reflection of humanity. Thematically, this concrete slab represented the morals and conscience of humanity. In Trimagasi’s case, he gave up trying to be a good person.

Who survived the platform?

Goreng may have survived his ordeal

Trimagasi ended up in a feud with one of his cellmates, Goreng. The latter did not want to become a monster like Trimagasi. However, he had to make compromises here and there. This led to him killing Trimagasi, but also being wounded after fighting with other villains. A large part of his story involved finding a young girl whose existence he was told existed. He didn’t want her to be in this ecosystem where she could be found, attacked, or abused. However, Goreng was mentally and physically exhausted in this psychological thriller.

Goreng reached the lowest level, sent the girl to the masters on the slab and decided that she was the “message” – not all people were murderers, even in their most desperate times. The film kept it vague, suggesting that perhaps he had died and was hallucinating. But that’s the frank, thought-provoking statement that director Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia has crafted. Did Goreng become a hero too late?

What are the rules in Platform 2?

Strict laws apply to Platform 2

In The platformthere were no strict rules. People just had to stay on their level, keep the items they came in with (even if it was a weapon), and eat whatever was on the table. They could eat the dish that was served to them every day or they could eat other people’s food. These were the masters who wanted to see who was selfish or considerate. The platform 2 optimizes things, namely to show that there is a strange law and order policy.

The new rules are: eat yours, leave what’s not yours, and peace and harmony will reign. This was set up by a mysterious overlord in the facility. He is the “Messiah” – a blind man named Dagin Babi. He has a cult called the Anointed Ones that monitors this law. Anyone who breaks it and consumes more than they should is called barbarians: expendable zealots who must die. This religious status quo also includes militant communication chains with dictatorial, fascist and repressive themes.

Who are the main actors in The Platform 2?

Perempuan will lead the Platform 2 revolt

Alongside Dagin Babi, the main actress is Perempuan, a Spanish woman who puts herself in prison. She is joined by a man who looks like Marvel’s Kingpin: Zamiatin. Together they have to navigate through the hole. They have to deal with personal problems with each other, secrets in their own history and the question of which side they want to choose in prison. A revolution is taking place, with the anointed and the barbarians going to war.

Corpses are thrown into the hole, some are mutilated on the dinner table, and others are killed at various levels. Some people are even set on fire, making it clear that the battle will be more heated than before. Trimagasi also has a key role to play in the new path. This is once again a statement about whether society is ready to abolish classism and elitism and share them with each other.

Platform 2 has new levels

Platform 2 has a kindergarten level

Platform 2 offers a new level with children. This seems to confirm that Goreng wasn’t dreaming in the first film and that he actually saved a child. This adds another layer of intrigue to the story, making the viewer wonder why there are children in such a barbaric place where the adults have it the worst.

According to the rules from the first film, children are not allowed to be present. Changing this rule establishes that the Masters have double standards, secrets of their own, or new tests and games to manipulate people, similar to Jigsaw from the Seen Films. Once again there will be a bang about the zeitgeist in this prison and how people should behave in order to survive.
