'This is crazy': a blogger recreated the 'Squid Game' in reality

On November 25, the popular YouTube channel MrBeast released the video “Squid game in real life”. Together with his team, blogger James Donaldson not only accurately recreated the interiors of the popular Netflix series, but also repeated all the tests that the heroes went through - of course, with some changes. The details were shared by the edition TJournal.

MrBeast is one of the most popular bloggers on the platform. His channel has 76,8 million viewers, and each video is consistently gaining tens of millions of views. In Forbes' list of the highest paid YouTubers of 2020, he was second only to the children's channel Ryan's World.

456 strangers participated in the reconstruction of the game - some of them did not even see the original series, but decided to take part for the sake of fun or the main prize. Unlike the film, none of the participants were put at real risk.

The shots at the losers were replaced with explosives under their clothes, instead of an abyss, the players fell on soft foam rubber and even the knives at dinner before the final were plastic. The last test has also changed: since the children's game "Squid" is only popular in Korea, it has been replaced by "Musical / Hot Chairs".

The prize fund also changed slightly - instead of 45,6 billion won ($40,8 million), the winner received $456 thousand. Losers in some rounds were also given from $2 to $10 thousand dollars, and between stages they were offered to give up for a similar amount. According to Donaldson, the entire project cost $3,5 million. The project was sponsored by the popular mobile game Brawl Stars.

All the tests were put into one 25-minute video, which was watched almost 12 million times in 30 hours. On November 29, the number of views reached 113 million, and likes - 9,8 million. Users noted the high level of quality of the content and the constantly growing intrigue. Some even thought that this format turned out to be more interesting than the original one.

“Jimmy, this is incredible. It's time for you to move on to the next step and start a film or television company - you've already essentially created something similar from scratch. I would love to see how you would cheer up the industry,” a commentator writes under the video.

“This is impressive, way better than any other version of recreating the movie,” another commenter wrote.

“This is something crazy that no one has ever done in the history of the platform. Hats off, Jimmy,” users admire.

“I honestly can’t believe the quality of the sets. Wow,” others added.

However, not everyone liked this "adaptation" of the game. On Twitter, some users believe the blogger devalued the filmmakers' intention. According to them, "The Squid Game" criticizes capitalism and shows what low-income Koreans are willing to do in order to survive - MrBeast turned it into entertainment. Some noted that the show's context is also being killed by the massive cash prize and sponsorship of a major brand.

“South Koreans: “The Squid Game was hard to watch because it depicts the real struggle to survive under capitalism.” American YouTubers: “Okay, but what if we make this a reality,” writes one of the commentators.

“I don’t think anyone has ever missed the point more than in this case. Bravo, MrBeast,” adds another.

“It’s a modern version of the reality TV show from The Truman Show.” We just watch a satirical series and are like “it would be cool to see this in reality,” but we don’t think about the meaning. Jesus Christ", - one of the users shares his opinion.

But the commentators were not averse to making fun of the project. While some ironically demanded a more accurate recreation of the series with murders and plot scenes, others pretended that they had never seen the original and offered to make a film or TV series based on the video.

“Where did you bury 455 corpses?” - users ask the blogger.

“Looks like The Squid Game!” (such a series on Netflix),” jokes another.

“This should be turned into a series,” writes one commentator.
