The Game
Movie • 1997 • Drama
ReportIn honor of his birthday, San Francisco banker Nicholas Van Orton, a financial genius and a cold-hearted loner, receives an unusual present from his younger brother, Conrad: a gift certificate to play a unique kind of game. In nearly a nanosecond, Nicholas finds himself consumed by a dangerous set of ever-changing rules, unable to distinguish where the charade ends and reality begins.

Not abandoned per say, but the main character loses his father at a young age which impacts the story and his character.

There is NOT a mental institution scene but a character is led to believe that another character was taken to an institution by force. This is left unresolved until the end.

Not to the viewer. HOWEVER, there is a scene where the main character is watching the news broadcast, and the news anchor addresses him directly. For anyone who gets anxiety from fourth-wall breaking this scene could be unsettling.

In a scene where lots of blurry clips are playing one after another, you can very briefly see a baby being born.
