"Who is the one who hasn't seen it?" Yoo Byung-jae and cinephiles' 'Movie Lie' game

The second season of 'Cinephile Game,' a content series operated by YouTuber Yoo Byung-jae, has been released. In this episode, YouTuber Jindol, a former webtoon artist, joined as a new member and participated in a psychological game where participants pretend to have seen movies or hide the fact that they haven't.

"Movies a cinephile ought to see"... Rules of the lie detection game

The rules of 'Cinephile Game' introduced in the video are clear. Participants look at a selected list of movies and determine whether they have actually seen them. Even if they haven't seen a movie, participants must pretend they have, and during the conversation, they must find the 'person who seems like they really haven't seen it' and throw a chip at them. A humorous rule is applied where the person who receives the most chips at the end of a round becomes the 'Godfly' of that round and is metaphorically expelled from the film industry.

In the opening, Yoo Byung-jae announced the start of the game, expressing his wish for this gathering to become a group that is not easily joined, like a shooting club at an Ivy League university. The new member, Jindol, introduced himself as someone who loves movies but tends to be very picky. Participants continued a tense conversation, either showing off their film knowledge or, conversely, confessing that they had not seen certain works.

From 'Dragon Wars: D-War' to 'The Grand Budapest Hotel', diverging one-line reviews

Regarding 'Dragon Wars: D-War', which was selected as the first movie, participants debated the movie's plausibility and direction. One participant mentioned the controversy regarding the quality of the work and left a one-line review to the effect of "there was nothing to see except the snake." In particular, they raised questions about the plausibility of a specific scene in the movie and mentioned the directing style of that time. During this process, a first-come, first-served quiz to guess the title of the song that appears at the end of the movie was also conducted.

In the following segment regarding 'The Grand Budapest Hotel', conversations took place about director Wes Anderson's directing characteristics. The cast mentioned the director's unique filming techniques and mise-en-scène, showing various reactions such as "aesthetic beauty where the director's obsession is felt" or "an unexpected surprise party." In particular, one participant mentioned the airport security checkpoint scene that recently became a hot topic through Shorts, pointing out the visual characteristics of that scene. Jindol left a one-line review for this movie saying, "I want to eat cake cleanly."

Different perspectives were also presented regarding the movies 'The Substance' and 'The Dark Knight'. Regarding 'The Substance', reactions came in saying they entered thinking it was a comedy but were bewildered by the development at the end, and they spoke about the grotesque beauty, mentioning Demi Moore's appearance. Regarding 'The Dark Knight', the narrative of director Christopher Nolan and lines dealing with the heroic narrative of Bruce Wayne were quoted. In particular, one participant pointed out the context of the work by mentioning the line in the movie, "If you do something, never do it for free."

"The rainbow did not rise"... Movie knowledge battle and Rock-Paper-Scissors

The game became more intense as the movie list continued. With works such as 'Save the Green Planet!' and 'Right Now, Wrong Then' appearing, the participants verified each other's 'cinephile' qualifications through quizzes such as guessing the song titles of the movies or the occupations of the characters. Regarding 'Save the Green Planet!', jokes were made such as "the poster is a failure," mentioning the discrepancy between the poster and the actual content.

During the game, a 'Rock-Paper-Scissors' rule was added to increase tension by identifying participants whose failure to see a movie was exposed or by assigning penalties. In particular, regarding the movie where the intense one-line review "The rainbow did not rise" appeared, a debate broke out among the cast as mentions of the movie's song and characters were exchanged. The first half of the video was filled with an intense psychological battle between the cast members trying to catch each other's lies and their film knowledge.
