Alright so this section of the blog, I would like to share a quick note that I jot down or noticed while watching the movie. This would be a quick, short blog and nothing like the weekly routine blog. I’ll be discussing 5 metaphors in Game Over, and it’s going to be full of spoilers so, in case you haven’t seen the movie, make sure you stop right there and continue after watching it.

Everything is connected, everything has a reason to exist in the movie. The director does a great job in connecting the dots. Example, You see the initial scenes of the movie, where the killer beheads the victim, kicks it off the goal post and burns the body. Cut to Swapna’s(Tapsee) first death, in that scene we as audience know how’s she going to die. We were enraged by the opening scene of the movie and we know, it’s going to be repeated. An classic example of setup and payback.

• In the preceding scenes where the generator is not working, hence the frequent current cuts, hence power going off during one of the suicide attempts, hence she panics and survives.

• One of the picture in the tattoo studio where the girl is inside the band aid, depicting the entire essence of the movie that the girl is recovering from trauma and agony, which Swapna is recovering from.

• The studio is named immortal, that’s what Amudha/Amrutha exaggerated as, even dead, she’s alive in the form of the tattoos.

• The candle next Swapna’s bed shows a Phoenix, a Phoenix is a bird that’s genes with the title, “restriction from the ashes”, So similar to Phoenix Swapna too is rising from the fear of the serial killers and fighting it, so her personality is again depicted in a symbolic way.

• This metaphor can be totally bizarre and could pave the way for my next blog on Game Over, I feel that the entire movie or atleast some, depending on your interpretation, can be a total dream. If you need me to explain why and how, ping in our Instagram page linked below. So that I’ll write an entire blog on why the entire second half is fictional.

So this was my quick take on the details and metaphors in Game Over. For feedbacks, you can ping me in Instagram and Twitter.
