"Videodrome" combines horror, science fiction, depth and complexity. The director responded with such a movie that the world has been occupied by media violence (the powerful group afterwards), ordinary people are deeply trapped in it (a metaphor of brain tumor) and they are unable to extricate themselves, and people are controlled by the illusion of the image!
The director used television to depict the terrible future of mankind. Through the character Haran in the film, he said: We have entered a new era of barbarians. The jungle does not need to be gentle.
It’s worth mentioning that the Japanese culture involved in the film is also interesting. The horned boy in the doll expresses the privacy of Eastern eroticism. David Cronenberg has always pursued photography. Some empty shots deliberately express pillars. The bulge is full of erotic metaphors. The scene of old people in the slums gathering together to watch pornographic TV in the film also substantiates the original needs of mankind.
