The best Netflix show you haven't seen 

Check out the epic video I did for storyfire: bit.ly/3azZ6UO

It's hard too believe that someone who created a incredibly well written and edited review off a amazing film, also created shrek has swag

I saw a theory where I was just flustered about. There is a scene where the head chef is holding the Panna Cotta and is raging about a hair on the Panna Cotta. He is trying to match the hair to the hair one of his sous chefs, but it does not match. That theory believes that the scene is out of order and actually happens after the Panna Cotta is sent back. It states that the girl is not real and only symbolic. The Panna Cotta is not eaten but sent back to level 0 with the hair stuck on it. Level 0 is so out of touch with what is happening below them that they don't see the Panna Cotta as a message but just as 'not good enough'. And so the system never changes.

The real message of the film is that everyone wants to park their car in the shade, but nobody wants to plant a tree.

My interpretation of the scene with the pana cotta was that it made it's way back to the surface and level 0 freaked out and thought the reason it was left uneaten was because there was a hair, not because it was a message. Completely unaware of the reality.

Props to the dude who said his favourite food was a whole ass wedding cake

Placement in the hole is not really random, notice how whenever somebody kills, they get placed higher next month. For example Miharu ALWAYS descends from above, and she always kills a lot of people. She probably knows that, and thats why she lets Goreng finish off Trimagasi.

Holy shit I understand it. Everyone chose their own food. That means everyone all had enough to eat if they would only eat what they themselves chose, and this was too with the fact you have a partner, so in case you get bored of your food, you can have their's. But I think there’s more. The dish at the end didn’t make the room hot or cold... why? Because the little girl chose the dish. That was what she liked. I think taking you own dish rewards no punishment. It speaks to the fact that a lot of humans aren’t considerate, and ruin themselves with the short term. They literally have the food they chose. Everyone can access what they want every single day. But yet gluttony in the fear of starvation still prevails.

Goreng changes so much throughout the film because of who his cellmate is. He's with Trimagasi: he becomes selfish, standing on the platform and spitting out uneaten food. He's with Imougiri: he becomes giving again, rationing out food and giving up his bed for Miharu. He's with Baharat: he becomes heroic, giving up his whole life to save one girl from the depths of the hole and help try and change the system forever. Under circumstances of survival, we are all the same person.

i kind of like the interpretation that the girl's favourite food is panna cotta, which is why the room didn't heat up/cool down when they kept it there. this implies that if everyone just took their own favourite foods, the food provided for them, everyone would have enough to eat.

Whenever she killed herself you could also see it as she realized the company she worked for lied to her. She only knew of 200 levels but they ended up right at 202, that may have been the final thing that broke her after her dog died.

Imagine the film was actually just a very long snickers advert and the ending of the film just ends with the slogan, “You’re not yourself when your hungry” - Snickers get some nuts...

Notice how his first cellmate says "eat me and become me" and then he eats his book, eventually becoming his character?

Sure Pyro’s good at the commentary business but this is where he shines.

"Oh my God she got a B, let's kill her" that's like the best line ever

The ending is in the middle of the movie. As pointed out by another commenter, 'the pana cotta made it back to the top and the head chef is yelling at all the other chefs because there's a hair in it. So basically, they don't realize the message the pana cotta is supposed to be; the head chef thinks everyone rejected it because it was "spoiled" with the hair.'

"What's your favorite food?" _Enough to cater 3 courses for 1500 people._

what you didnt know is that pyrocynical survived the hole and was rewarded his diploma in philosophy

A note on the ringing sound: The high pitch ringing noise that was poised as akin to Breaking Bad is actually a phenomena experienced by individuals in moments of extreme fear. Often seen in times of war, when soldiers go out into a battlefield they lose all their hearing due to their other senses being heightened leaving a slight hum. Edit: Didn’t think this comment would get so much traction. Shameless plug time: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dv9EEcp57vQ.html

I like how I got baited into a jake Paul movie review but instead ended up finding something I enjoyed much more, thanks Pyro

7:54 About this translation: in spanish Trimagasi uses the formal conjugations of verbs as most older folks do. The thing he uses in spanish when refering to those below in this scene is imperativo conjugation; which is meant to be used to make an order/command on others (in this case to Goreng). When he screams that the above people won't answer to him; he uses subjuntivo conjugation, which is meant to be used as opinionated or based on feelings. This small detail makes us know Trimagasi feels inferior and unsure about the above people's reaction while he feels absolute power over those under him.

Pyro: *creates an intelligent and analytical review of a highly interpretative movie* Also Pyro: *”big chungus birthday cake”*

Is your girl: -Balding -Obviously hungry -Spanish? Then that’s not your girl! That’s Trimagasi!

Okay, nobody told me that the Purple Television Furry was this good at making Movie Reviews. We need more of these

Goreng throwing Baharat an apple bears significance, to throw an apple at a someone is symbolic of a declaration of love or trust, which foreshadows Goreng joining him in his journey.

I have seen it u liar, i want a refund

"Who the hell would bring a book here?" Says the lady who brought a WEINER DOG

The hole sounds like an extreme Mr Beast challenge he would do after going completely insane

This film is so intelligently crafted that one can’t deny it’s a masterpiece in psychological dramas.

Imagine asking someone what's their favourite food and they tell you "apple"

It's called "El Hoyo" (the hole) in spanish. It came out just when Spain went into quarantine and it became pretty famous. Spanish mainstream movies are always low-quality comedies with overused jokes and everybody was amazed that this was a Spanish production. I'm glad that it's also gaining recognition outside the spanish speaking countries, thank you!

It’s so high quality that he didn’t make a fortnite joke every 5 minutes

In 58:53 when Trimagasi is describing different parts of Imoguiri, I’m pretty sure he isn’t referring to her as a cow but as a pig, as someone from Spain and the northern part “manitas” (apparently trotters) is usually used for the pig’s hooves cooked rather than cow’s hooves being cooked

I have two beliefs: 1) The child ended up getting to Floor 0 as a sign of hope and appreciation, something the VSCA knew people would NOT experience 2) The Kid splats like a pancake at the top when they reach floor 0 lol

Is no one going to talk about the fact that the title and thumbnail made it look like a Logan Paul series video but it turned out to be a really well done analysis on a really chilling movie?

The movie: sinister visuals, kinda hard to watch at some parts Pyro's memes: hehe video game funny

The Circle was actually made by the same people behind the internet show The Vault, which I personally enjoyed very much. While I don’t like The Circle, I find it inspiring the people who clearly cared about The Vault managed to get a movie of their own.

The quality of this video is staggering. Pyro seems to have found his zone doing long-form reviews, and boy is he dishing out some top-notch content. Sure, the time between videos is unusually long, but it's almost worth the wait when the quality is this good.

My interpretation of the ending is that the child never existed either : she's representing hope and purity in their most cliché vision, a child, even if its presence is impossible inside the hole. Miharu represents marginalised idealists, that want to find this hope and purity by revoking their privileges and climbing down the social ladder, even if they have to use violence or make sacrifices in their quest. Goreng manage to protect the panacota till the end, and it is sent back, but the organisation, so disconnected with the reality of the hole, just think nobody wanted the dessert because of a single hair on it. The Organisation provides every person's favorite meal, and they're blind to the tragedy that occurs inside the hole, because for them they provided everyone with what they wanted, not taking greed, despair and pure evilness into account.

I love how pyro used a serious tone explaining this dark and horrifying movie but still insert shitpost and dank meme inbetween

I feel like the ending being a dream Goreng is having as he bleeds out makes the most sense. After watching his...friend(?) Miharu die horribly and his genuine attempt at bringing change fail, it's only natural he would imagine inexplicably finding the mythical child Trimagasi probably made up, miraculously unharmed, and manage to save her all while accomplishing his goal of sending a message and bringing change to the system. It's why the room doesn't change temperature even though they keep the Penna Cotte. It's why he has his book even though we never see him bring it with him. It's why there's an empty void at the end. It even explains there being 333 floors. After all that he's done (and based on him not feeling worthy of ascending with the child into the suspiciously heavenly light) Goreng probably feels convinced he's going to hell. I think beyond the obvious reasons (like wanting to leave it open to interpretation) that this is why we never see what happens when and if the child reaches floor 0. Because Goreng doesn't know what would happen and probably dies before he can even begin to imagine it.

The brilliant thing is there was a different ending planned which had the Panna Cotta go up instead of the child and the head chef found some impurity or hair or something on it and thought that no-one in the hole ate it because of this impurity and the message behind it being left meant absolutely nothing.

You misunderstood Imoguiri's reason to enter the hole. It wasn't because she was promised funding or treatment for her cancer but rather because she wanted to see the thing with her own eyes before she passed away.

People miss one extremely important thing about the film: everyone gets to pick their favourite meal to eat for each day. Everyone has their favourite food made for them personally daily, it's just that no one sticks to it.

it also simulates the dynamic for the lower class turning against itself, with how cell mates on low floors turn against each other

Can we just pretend cube two didn't exist and this is cube two.

I strongly doubt you'll ever see this, but I wanted to say that your ability to analyze this kind of stuff is incredible. You have an impressive ability to pick apart what seem to be very minor design choices in a piece of media and very clearly explain the significance each and every one has to the overall message of what you're discussing. You also do a wonderful job of respectfully going over both serious topics while spicing it up just a bit with the occasional joke without the latter detracting from what you're trying to explain. I also find it impressive just how good you are at remaining relatively unbiased, even when the message of the media you're explaining is something controversial or heavy. I know these usually aren't your thing, and I enjoy your regular content just as much, but I really hope we'll see plenty more videos like this from you in the future. I really love seeing this type of stuff, and I hope that you enjoy making it as well.

i feel like all the people on level 0, like the chefs and stuff, literally have no clue that anyone is suffering on the floors below them and don't understand that there are people that aren't getting food. To them, they make everyone an individual dish, their favorite dish, and they make it to absolute perfection. They don't understand that the people on the higher floors just take everything they want and leave nothing for other people on lower levels. To the chefs on floor 0, they have provided everyone with the food they need. They think that everyone takes a plate, their plate (or their dish or whatever) and that's all. They're probably completely ignorant to what is really happening down there (a war and desperation for food). All they know is that all the food is gone when it arrives back on the surface. Just my thoughts lol, sorry if they're confusing :)

noooo you skipped the “i’ll just slit his stomach and eat whatever you gave him” scene

these long analysis videos you've been doing are incredible dude

"I can't scat upwards" is one of the funniest lines I've ever heard in a movie

"What's your favorite food?" "Whole roasted horse. The big kind. Must be whole."

Honestly for me I have to be kinda hand held to really enjoy the depth of a movie sometimes. And watching this movie and then your review just really enhanced the experience for me. I don't think I've ever been this immersed in one of your vids as much as this one. This is an amazing movie and you had an amazing review of it. This longer form content is pretty awesome.

The numbers 202 has never been so scary and heart crushing until now

i was 50 minutes in when i realized this isn't a 20 minute video

This was made by the same person that made MLG teletubbies.

The fact is everyone was asked what their favorite food is so if everyone just took only what they asked for, everyone will get something to eat but nope selfishness is such a strong human characteristic

One thing I find interesting is how Trimigasi says “you ate me, I am a part of you” which carries on throughout the entire film. From him eating Imoguri and seeing her, to the child eating the Panna Cotta and becoming the message, and Goreng eating the page from the story and embodying the protagonist.

*Ok seriously, how is this made by the same person who made Shrek Has Swag?*

Let's be honest. Reviewing movies and games is definitely pyro's best talent. Also petscop 2 when

honestly i find tbe message is more that really, the hole seperates the top prisoners from the middle from the bottom, but realistically, there's floor 0 who supplies the food, floor 1 who eats it, and then there's scraps

Ok jokes aside. Pyro is really good at break down, narration, and analysis. Honestly it’s really good.

It's the perfect "I suffered, and I don't want anyone else to go through that" vs "I suffered, why shouldn't they?"

Damn. Goreng turned from caring, to careless, to giving his whole life just for a single message. I don't know, this movie is just... Amazing.

I know that Pyro tried his best to make this video as entertaining and light hearted despite such theme of a movie. But this movie *haunts* me. After finishing it the first time (and probably the last), I genuinely cannot watch this video again. And I love Pyro's videos, always so many cuts and edits, memes through out that it's entertaining every watch. But this, my God. I'm sick from the thought of this movie alone. A fantastic show that I will never watch again. I love it.

As a spanish speaker i can finally feel like that japanese kid watching animie

Not gonna lie, I didn’t realize this was over an hour long until there were 5 minutes left

im spanish and i must say we got lucky with this movie coming out, bc nowadays spanish film companies have gotten used to just produce cheap awful spanish comedies (in which they usually make fun of other countries' cultures). when this film came out i was expecting a bad copy of Cube, but to my surprise this one was actually great and i had a blast watching it, i almost even felt proud of my country 💞🇪🇸 thank you so much for reviewing it ☺ and for bringing attention to it (edit): a mis compañeros españoles, porfa no os lo toméis a malas que yo quiero mucho a mi país también y me enorgullezco de nuestra cultura, 😂☺ siempre que no sea otra comedia de Dani Rovira

I'm honestly amazed about how good this video was and how insane this movie is

"Why would you bring a sausage dog?" "In here, he is more of a sausage than a dog."

This sort of movie is more horrific than things like IT. God, I normally don’t get scared of horror movies but this is some real shit

This really feels like one of those movies where it’s scary and disgusting but you just can’t look away

Watching this 2 years late, I have literally never even heard of storyfire lmao

I actually agree with the theory that Goreng died because in the ending scenes we can see him go into the darkness with Trimagasi, symbolizing his death and joining Trimagasi in the afterworld.

if everyone had only eaten their own favorite foods, everyone would have had their own portion

Just imagine the Cooks at Level 0 having to make a Big Chungus Birthday cake everyday, every damn day.

"i cant scat upwards" best quote of all time

Pyro: shows trimigasi getting his throat slit Also Pyro: showing the dog getting killed is way too far man. Sorry guys

"what's your favorite food?" "a whole pineapple, not cut"

Just saying, this man used to make MLG montages and bully children.

12:30 when the narrator of the video says he tells him he's been accepted the captions read " So I've been accepted." ..."Not Yet" lol 💀

"I'm going to be making more longer videos" If this is true pyro, my hats of to you. I know the daily vids help you more, but the longer analysis videos is where you truly shine.

This movie was fantastic but was also the most psychologically disturbing movie I’ve ever seen. It’s not the violence or cannibalism, it’s the terror of the thought of inevitable death on a low level. You have no choice but to kill your cellmate or die

Pyrocynical is like the English teachers who over-analyse everything, except he's actually entertaining.

Ive watched this video 4 times and only now do I realize how hilarious the concept of advertising another youtube on youtube is

The part in the movie where, when riding the platform they see two old men sitting in a tiny blow-up pool, is one of the most heart-wrenching yet unbearably funny things about this movie, I felt so bad.

The amount of quality of this video should be illegal, bravo.

The word "society" has been so utterly destroyed by society that we can't even say it without laughing and therefore making whatever you're trying to say "silly" or "stupid"

Goreng means fried. nasi means rice. Good video as always. just felt like i needed to point that out..

Indonesian here, just for a bit of correction, if you will. "Goreng" is actually not a specific abbreviation of "Nasi goreng" or fried rice. Instead, "Goreng" is more of a way of processing food/stuff by frying it with oil. You would see "Ayam goreng" (fried chicken), "Tahu goreng" (fried tofu), "Ikan goreng" (fried fish) and many more. By the way, nice review!

Manager: they didn't eat the panna cotta because there was a hair in it. Message received.

Pyro: *Refuses to show a dead dog* Also pyro 5 minutes earlier: *Shows a boomer getting stabbed in the neck*

1:16:28 Song is Apocalyptica - Path vol. 1

My main theory behind everyone being convinced there were only 200-ish floors is because the chances of surviving below floor 200 are almost impossible.

Infinite supply of water? Flood the hole. Float to the top.

The people on level zero are not the elite, though. They're workers too. They're privileged amongst other workers but workers still. The elite is never seen at all.

actually red light is ok for sleeping, because it doesn't impair melatonin production

Pyros editing looks like if I click anywhere on the screen, I'll immediately get loads of malware.

IMO the three cellmates each represent a different approach that people can have to the system that they live in. Trimagasi is the person who's alienated by the system and accepts it and defends it the way it is. Imoguri is the optimist who thinks the system is good but corrupted, so she tries to change it from within. Baharat is the revolutionary who thinks the system has to end in order to achieve true justice, even if violence is necessary to do so.

This is a movie I can only watch with commentary. I’d be far to disturbed and scared to watch it on my own but with someone explaining the events in a calm, and sometimes humorous way, I can actually enjoy it.
