May 31, 2009 by Indoor Games · Leave a Comment
There are no rules in The Game. And that will make life very difficult for Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas), a successful businessman who is always in control. Van Orton lives a well-ordered life-until an unexpected birthday gift from his brother (Sean Penn) destroys it all. Van Orton has been enrolled in a game-”a profound life experience”-that begins quietly enough but soon erupts in a rush of devastating events. Like it or not, he must either win or lose control of everything in his life.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars A story of personal transformation
Reading some of the reviews here what seems missing is what I believe is the essential theme of this work — personal transformation. Michael Douglas’ character is trapped, or to be more precise stuck. He is stuck at a level of personal development (mean spirited, suspicious, cynical, isolated and alone — he is an Investment Banker) in which he is intensely dissatisfied with himself and all around him. Though he does not realize it, he must move beyond his current “self” if he is to realize his full (though currently latent) potential as a human being. His brother - Sean Penn - realizes this and hence gives him a “game” for his birthday - since Penn the “black sheep” of the family had had a game given to him by some unnamed character and it had helped “awaken” him to a new self.
The game is the necessary transformative vehicle for Douglas’ character which forces a reassessment of himself and his outlook on life — but only through a complete breakdown and displacement of his current self and his connection with the world that he had made — and had in turn now trapped him.
It is through the ensuing trauma and the culminating attempted suicide that allows him to emerge “reborn” and with a new outlook and new “self”. Thus the climactic and happy ending with the well wishers at his birthday party in spite of the fact that a moment ago he had just “murdered” his brother and leapt to his “death”.
What this movie portrays is the classical mythological journey of trial and trauma where the old self is destroyed and a new self emerges like a beautiful butterfly from an ugly caterpillar.
5 Stars One of my Top 10!!!
I love this movie! Fascinating, thought provoking, twisting, and unique. I really enjoy watching it again just to think about the whole concept and if I missed anything.
4 Stars Great movie
This is a great film that will keep you on the edge of your seat almost through out the whole movie.I don’t want to go in to the movie because it will give it away.It a steal for 10.00 dollars.I did not give it 5 stars because the very end i though was a little weak.Also i can’t stand Sean Penn.
5 Stars What a thriller
Anything with Michael Douglas is great, but this is a real thriller and who-dun-it! It will keep you guessing until the end. A “best buy” as far as I’m concerned.
5 Stars Thew Game
The product was received in excellent condition and the movie dvd was also in excellent condition.
