It’s night 4 of our countdown to Halloween and we’re doing another DINNER & A MOVIE – tonight we’ll be reviewing THE PLATFORM (2019) , which is currently streaming on Netflix. The movie centers around Goreng (Ivan Massagué) who decides to put himself in a program unlike anything that’s every been experienced in exchange for giving up smoking and earning a degree. The story follows him as he’s put into put into a prison, which he volunteers for initially, where all humanity and decency progressively are lost as its inhabitants are shuffled lower and lower in the vertical prison. There’s a lot of symbolism here and the platform can come to mean a myriad of things. An excellent and thought provoking piece by screenwriters, David Desola and Pedro Rivero, the film is directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia.

Shout out to Nicholas E from film discussion group for recommending this movie.

We’d had a Target run earlier in the day and dinner is homemade tonight Sea Cuisine’s Mediterranean Crusted Salmon, some steamed broccoli and brown rice.
