Parallels between The Game and The Jejune Institute
(The 1997 Michael Douglas film)

Remember the 1997 Michael Douglas/Sean Penn film The Game? (If not, I highly recommend renting it, it's a fun movie.)

There are definitely some parallels between this film and the Jejune Institute. Not sure if this is intentional or not.

Here's a few similarities:

Both games begin in an office building in the Financial District of San Francisco.
The Socio-Reengineering Seminar pre-screening video is very similar to a segment in The Game, which can be partially seen in the trailer (from about 0:40-0:42).
In both final acts the game's purpose is reveled after multiple plot twists, and it's the same purpose that was plainly stated at the very beginning.

Can you think of any others?
