rules of the game
Renoir’s Rules of the Game appealed to me in 4 different ways. First, to Christine and Lisette, falling in love with a man and having a relationship is all like a game, The use of games is important in this film. ... Love is like a game to Christine, and she keeps on changing her mind. It is as if we are constantly chasing her around and around, like a game little kids would play. ... She plays her husband for Marceau, and even plays a game with Marceau. ... Lisette is even in charge of killing rabbits, which reminds me of a game I used to play on Sega Genesis, which consisted of a person shooting ducks and other targets. ... The mise-en-scene which was mostly in one house was great because it was a huge house with everything happening in one house, running around in circles like a game, lots of things going on at the same time causing a little confusion, and the what I think is the best scene is of when Robert is watching is mechanical men play music.
