This is a negative energy movie, this is a negative energy article.
Embarrassment is the main feeling during the viewing process. Panning shots, close-ups of characters, full confessions, interview effects, the film spares no effort to create a feeling of unease, along with panic and loneliness. Because of this, many viewers may feel bored, which is normal. Large sections of dialogue, especially in the first half, are followed by dramatic conflicts, and dialogue and confession are the main ones to show the character's state and show Ben's contrast between the game and reality. I was expecting to watch a Diaosi counterattack film, but the rhythm was so slow, and the protagonist didn't soar into the sky. When Ben was bullied, the audience expected to see a tough counterattack, knock down the opponent, and let out a bad breath. , but the movie didn't shoot much, and even if he fought back, after all, his fists were invincible with four hands, and he was knocked down again. The audience who can watch it can't help but think, how does Diaosi counterattack?
There are two types of movies, emotional and rational. Rational such as "The Labyrinth of the Heart", emotional such as "Ben X".
The so-called sensibility means that the film focuses on arousing the emotional resonance of the audience. Watching "Ben X" requires emotions, you need to watch it at night, and you need experience, otherwise it will inevitably feel dull. An autistic teenager, bullied and afraid to fight back, unhappy, misunderstood, introverted to the extreme and sickly. The world is so big, but he can only find himself in the virtual, why? Because this game is relatively fair, relatively simple, and thorough, if you spend time and energy to play and upgrade, it will naturally become powerful. The same is true in the real world, but the real world is more than that, it is much more complicated.
Only his parents and doctors know about his symptoms. Everyone else thinks he is a weirdo or a weak weirdo, and what is the attitude of a mentally retarded person to a weak weirdo? To make fun of, to show one's "power" by embarrassing others, to gain a sense of accomplishment, and to satisfy one's own morbid happiness. Those who "know" him only think they understand. It is impossible for a person to fully understand the feelings of others. The so-called "empathy" cannot be "feeling", so how can one "empathize"? I have no experience of autism, and I also can't understand the time of autistic patients, but I don't understand, the feeling of loneliness and powerlessness that no one tells, should be experienced by many people, and it is similar to the protagonist, this is " This X" is touching.
It's not as tough and bright as an action movie, and it tells more about real-life predicaments. The party with the right to speak is the mainstream party, the party with power, and the party with a large number of people. As for whether it is inclusive, correct, or fair, it is secondary. The difficulty of resisting is especially evident in Ben, who is closed and alone.
The poor in the movie is Ben who suffered misfortune; and the sadness in it is resistance. The movie finally reconciled of course, but in the form of death. We only think about death when there is no solution to our problems in life. When Ben attempted suicide, what pulled him back was the reality prototype of the game partner. This woman in red was like a light in Ben's life, giving comfort, companionship, and concern, but she was part of Ben's fantasy, which means that Ben Still struggling with myself. The virtual girlfriend gave him the power to punish the people who had hurt him in a "feigned death" way. The truth of death is of course important from the perspective of the characters in the film, but it doesn't matter to the audience. This approach is already a compromise of the powerless to the world, and there is no way out. We have 10,000 ways to solve the problem of the strong, and the weak can only be forced to risk their most precious lives in exchange for a little psychological guilt from the perpetrators.
