 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Platform is a 2019 Spanish horror/thriller film directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia.The movie takes place in a vertical prison that is divided into levels, each with two prisoners and a hole in both the ceiling and floor. Each day, a platform full of immaculately made food descends through these holes and stops at each level. Prisoners are given a limited amount of time to eat what they can before it leaves their level and goes to the one below them. Due to the greed and privilege of the prisoners who reside in the higher levels, the food is invariably reduced to scraps after a while, while the lowest prisoners can only dream of getting that much. The movie focuses on an idealistic newcomer who came to this hellhole of his own accord, and tries to provoke change among the prisoners and thereby send a message to the administration.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Allegory: The prison is a pretty obvious allegory for wealth and social inequality. People on the top force everyone below them to live on their scraps, and they sometimes literally shit on the people below them. Goreng and Baharat's descent and forceful rationing of the food can be seen as the process of a revolution attempt, as at first they violently have to prevent the people in the upper levels from grabbing the food, then a wise old man in the lower levels tells them that they must first attempt to convince the others before resorting to violence, then they start convincing people and only use violence against those who disregard what they say.

 Absurdly Sharp Blade: The Samurai Max is a knife sharpener that can make blades into this; the Samurai Plus is this by default.
