In life, no matter how ordinary or ordinary people are, they have their own secrets.
Just like this group of high school students, on the surface they are full of youth, vigor and impeccable.
But social interaction in private is erosive and decadent, as soulless as a walking dead.
When we were young, we used to write these unspeakable secrets in our diaries, and then carefully hid them in a place that only we knew.
And now, we will put it in the secret folder of the mobile phone, computer or mobile hard drive, and set a password, which is safe and secure.
These secrets are the other side of our unknown, full of desire, sin, greed ...
Once they are made public, they will become scandals that everyone spurns.
As bystanders, we like to watch "drama."
Scandals by others are a major pastime in our entertainment life.
But if one day we become the protagonist at the center of the scandal, how should we deal with ourselves?
Suicide by bombing? Or pick up the steel gun to retaliate--
Assassination Kingdom
Assassination Nation
The story takes place in Salem , Massachusetts . Recently, people in the town are panicking because a mysterious hacker will attack everyone's computers and mobile phones from time to time, steal private information, and then make it public.
The first person to be peeled off was the most authoritative mayor of the town .
Renqian, he is a leader loved by the people, a caring father, and a gentle gentleman.
Queen, he is a comrade with a transvestite.
Overnight, the mayor’s "private house photos" went viral throughout the town, and every spectator was as excited as being pricked by a G spot.
The world seems to have this kind of evil in their hearts. The more well-dressed and serious people in front of people, the more people will want to tear his mask.
They speculated on the mayor’s private life with the worst maliciousness, and attacked the "hypocrite" with the most malicious words.
The second recruit was a high school principal who was tireless in teaching .
The text messages between him and his wife, the browsing records of the web pages on the computer, and all the photos on the phone were all exposed.
The principal's private life is unreservedly and cleanly displayed before the public.
People stand on the moral high ground, wantonly judge and laugh at everything about the principal.
The heroine Lily is a young and beautiful high school student with unrestrained personality.
As the situation gradually expanded, her indecent photos began to go viral on the Internet, and she became a "porn star" in the small town.
Her parents drove her out of the house, and the pedestrians on the street regarded her as a shameless slutty woman.
No one condemns hackers for infringing on their privacy, and no one realizes that their casual reposting is aiding the abuse.
Although people were also faintly worried about their information being exposed, this unknown worry was soon annihilated by the "crazy" of prying into the privacy of celebrities.
People don't care about the truth, and they are even less interested in understanding their mental journey.
Everyone only believes in the facts they see.
The people are hanging up high on their own business, and hackers are getting worse, and almost half of the people in the small town are exposed.
Cheating, cheating, gangster...Everyone is in a mess and everyone is in danger.
The scenes in the film seem to be rhetorical, but they have actually been performed in real life.
On January 27, 2008, Edison Chen’s privacy was tragically leaked, and thousands of indecent photos were madly forwarded from the Tianya community.
For a time, the sound of the crusade was like a scourge, sweeping the entire entertainment circle.
Ten years ago, Yanzhaomen was regarded as a “nuclear explosion scandal in Hong Kong’s entertainment industry” . The female celebrities involved in it were all scolded bloody.
Ten years later, the people who eat melon still don't let them go. No matter what they do, someone will ky mention Edison Chen and Yan Zhaomen.
Their private photos were taken by the wicked to make them public, and they were the victims of this incident .
Just because the content of the photo is a private photo between a couple, they must apologize to the public.
But, who are they ashamed of, and who have they hurt?
Just like the mayor in the film, he only has a sexual addiction that is different from ordinary people. He just took some "heavy taste" photos in private.
He did not harm anyone, nor did he do anything that violated laws and morals.
But the overwhelming verbal abuse and crusade made him feel ashamed, so he could only commit suicide by swallowing a gun.
There are records of browsing pornographic websites on the principal’s computer, and several pictures of her 6-year-old daughter taking a bath in her mobile phone.
He was immediately labeled as "pedophile" and "perverted" by the public.
He defended himself hoarsely on the stage, but the students in the audience regarded it as a carnival.
The people who eat melon are cold-blooded and ruthless.
After all, it was hard to usher in a rare party. They just wanted to use this "game" to release their depression and vent their emotions.
However, when the secrets of these mobs were also exposed, they finally stopped talking and talked calmly.
They put on masks, picked up weapons and took to the streets, pointing their fingers at Lily who was framed as a hacker.
As a bloody cult film , "Assassination Kingdom" finally showed full sincerity in the second half.
The Detachment Army headed by Lili met all expectations and launched the fight against encirclement and suppression.
The audience also experienced the joy brought by the violence of the Jedi counterattack.
However, in just over 100 minutes, the director wanted to show the serious consequences of personal privacy being leaked in the Internet age , but also wanted to incorporate themes such as campus bullying, feminist awareness, and LGBT rights .
The structure of the whole film is a bit blunt, and the advancement of the story lacks some internal logic.
Every topic wants to be involved, but the expression of each topic is superficial, which makes people feel like "the tastelessness of food is a pity".
Especially the inexplicable feminist remarks made by the heroine at the end of the film also attracted a group of women to pursue the scene.
It looked so cool and domineering, but I couldn't understand what she was expressing at all, so strange that I couldn't figure it out.
However, as a cool film, cool is enough.
In the film, both the indifferent spectators and the self-proclaimed righteous fanatics were killed by them.
In addition to the film, the leaker Shi Kejun also suffered from his own evil consequences. Not only was he sentenced to 8 months and 15 days in prison, he was also "human flesh" by the public, and he did not dare to go out and work.
He finally realized the pain of privacy being violated.
However, how much can he experience the pain of these artists who have been affected by the "porn photos"?
And we spectators who have been eating melons for ten years.
Every time you click, every time you send, isn’t it his accomplice?
In the Internet age, everyone is in danger, and no one can be alone.
The next person to be made public may be you...
The backstage replied "Assassination Kingdom", there is a source of juice!
