- Some people have empathy and compassion irrespective of the situation while for some these emotions come only when their own life is not in danger.
- It also shows that our life is in someone's control. He decides who lives, who dies at what time, and where.
- We do not have free will. Someone decides our destiny.
- People have deep-seated biases and strong opinions which they express whenever they get a chance.

- It shows the lengths humans can go to save their own lives.
- There is an exposure of people's prejudices.
The movie ends with all winners going out towards an alien ship. Now the questions are-
For how long these winners are going to live? Have they become immortal? How are they going to live knowing that they killed many for their own survival? That they betrayed many including elderly, weak, fetus, pregnant lady, a child, etc.
All survivors are cunning, selfish, and killer people, so how the new world is going to be? How these survivors are going to behave with each other?
A more gruesome and somewhat similar movie is "The Platform".
