The film clearly criticizes the inferior behavior of the modern media in order to pursue profit, promote violence, glorify crimes, and mold scumbags full of evil into contemporary heroes. On the other hand, the film itself is extremely violent, glorifying a murderous love, and making Mickey a hero with Robert Downey Jr. Therefore, the film becomes the object of its own criticism. At the same time, many viewers of the film did become fans of the pair of bloodthirsty mandarin ducks, and even sang their love and worshipped Mickey's thoughts. In this way, the film brought the content it criticized through the film itself. Into a realistic context, it becomes a "self-validating" film.
However, I don't know if the director did it on purpose or not. Therefore, I can't judge whether the portrayal of love and Mickey's thoughts in the film are sincere, because if the director intends to let the film "self-verify", all of this may just be a trap set by the director for those mediocre people. - A lot of people fell into it.
In any case, the social impact brought by the media deserves serious consideration by all media people. Look at the pornographic and promiscuous information that is full of our major websites, and see the increasing number of violent crimes committed by teenagers at a younger and younger age. Pat your conscience, media folks.
Finally, to those angry youths who adore this pair of murderers, and to those literary youths who are moved by the "moment of purity", I just want to say that you haven't grown up yet.
