La Decima Vittima is a 1965 film in which people need to risk their lives in order to get great rewards. The idea is to survive through ten rounds before you can get your reward of a million dollars and become a legend. There are many real life elements incorporated into this movie to draw people in and make it more believable, even with the comedic aspect. This is true to games as well, games like dead rising 2 has the main character killing for sport, money and the enjoyment of others.
I believe that although this film does not relate very well to today’s audiences, there is still a lot of complex emotions at play within which if made today could be expanded upon and would make for a very successful movie/game combo. Character progression with romance and the threat of death draws the viewer into the movie and wanting them to survive in much the same way as video game does.
Many movies have imitated very similar settings since this movie, lord of the flies, battle royale and the new movie the hunger games.
