Participate in some simple childhood games and win millions of won (Korean currency). The premise from which was the series The Squid Game, which took the streaming platform Netflix by storm in mid-2021. Within a few weeks, this series became the series of the moment, with children as young as just a few years old wanting to play the proposed games in schoolyards. Something is questionable when the dynamics of the games mean that players who lose are excluded from the competition.
However, the success of “The Squid Game” was so great that the multimedia giant thought it would be a good idea to turn it into reality. Hundreds of people will participate in the same games to win $4 million. And this new “reality show”, released on Friday, November 24, has an unexpected guest: the city of Murcia.
The first seconds of this competition released on Netflix show off some beautiful panoramic views of the world’s capitals. Before the silhouette of the iconic Sydney Opera House and the skyline of Chicago in the United States appears on screen, Christ appears on screen with his arms crossed and looking out over the city. The image, which could look like Christ of Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro, is actually Christ of Monteagudo in the city of Murcia. In the few seconds that the image continues on the screen, you can perfectly see the straight line drawn by the old road to Alicante, and you can even see the JMC Towers in the background, popularly known as the “Twin Towers”, located in front of the Nelva Hotel, making this a monument The Mursi is unmistakable with any of the other existing memorials in the world.
And why is Murcia featured in the hit Netflix movie? Perhaps it was an oversight on the part of the production company responsible for this “reality,” which was recorded at Cardington Studios in England, and that they confused the Brazilian statue of Christ with the statue that can be found in a Murcian grove. Both images may look similar to those who have never visited either city, although it is clear that the Brazilian image, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, is looking out at an ocean that does not exist in the case of Murcia.
It is also possible that the image shows a structure that has not yet been revealed, as only the first episode of this competition has been broadcast.
Whether you make a mistake or not, the panoramic view of Cristo de Monteagudo is already popular with thousands of followers of “The Squid Game” who will enjoy this true “remake”.
