AYŞEN ERASLAN(ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY ABOUT FILM)

                        IS IT A GAME OR NOT?

      What will you do when you find yourself in a terrible game? We know games are funny activities for the purpose of entertainment,but in the film”The Game,we encountered lots of strange situations.In my opinion,it is not a game,it is a dream or hallucination.

    In the film there is a man whose brother gives him a present and his life starts to change.The things which he experiences are so realistic that at first I thought it describes the man’s real experiences,but later towards the end of the film I understood it is not a game.There are some reasons why it is not a game.

    First of all,the man encounters extremely risky situations.For example,in the taxi man flows into the sea or he jumps onto the floor from a high building like his father suicide,but he isn’t injured.I think they aren’t logical.

    Another reason is many strange events happen constantly.Someone breaks into man’s house and writes nonsense things to the walls and dissappears.Later,the whole house is searched,but there isn’t any evidence to show it was real.Apart from it,he shoots his brother but he does not die.Some people say that it is a real game,but I think it is not a real game because Nicholas sees strange things in his dreams which result from his bad childhood experience.

    In conclusion,Nicholas who is the main character of the film sees  dreams or hallucinations.When he is a child his father commits suicide.This event affects him so much that he experiences some psychological problems and starts to see hallucinations or nigthmares.Because of these reasons it is not a game.
