Connection between Saw and the TV show Survivor

Rating: 7/10 (15 July 2017)

I watched this movie for the third time. It actually has some similarities with the TV show "Survivor"(which apparently made a hit in Greece this season) although, it does sound a bit weird.
First of all, the people, that take participate in the games, don't have any previous experience on these , so they need to get accustomed quickly to make it through.They usually also act on their own, to achieve their goal which is their survival from this experience with the gain of some food, or the immunity from the voting.
On the other hand, the players that go to the TV show, are of course willing to do it.They also have a general view of the action that should be done on the games, and they stay there for as long as they try, or as long as the majority of TV viewers like them. Of course the people that get in Jigsaw's games try to win the game in order to live and apparently leave . Last but not least, the players in the TV show fight each other in order to take the limited amount of sources that is the trophy but in the movie the players fight against the death.
To sum up with, I think that this movie has symbols that could make the viewer feel that he/she needs to make something considerably difficult in order to make his/her living.These symbols are shown in a softer version in the TV show.
