Full marks for the subject matter and full marks for the actors, I don't understand why people say that the car started to break down there, and the plot is incoherent. In my opinion, the whole film just started to climax there!

Let me briefly talk about the two points of life and human nature that the film shocked me the most.

Creating a suicide show says that in order to make people value life, but to exchange life for a wish that can be realized with money, this is a ridiculous, terrifying and dangerous idea, which will not make people cherish life more, on the contrary, despise life more , giving up the effort even more, as if finding a shortcut, the scary thing is that he still feels great, and he has made a great sacrifice. There is a scene in the film. When the old black man came home and found his family sitting around watching this show, he turned off the TV angrily and said not to watch this kind of rubbish! His son stood up and refuted him this was not trash, it was true, they were heroes and they made sacrifices for their families! Seeing this, I was so frightened that I couldn't speak. Isn't this kind of show scary, what is this doing, encouraging everyone to give up their lives! The old black man is running around for his family in this way, because there is no actual monetary reward, he seems to be inferior to those who so-called give up his life for the sake of a good life for his family. If this society becomes like this, it will be terrifying.

This kind of show has problems from the beginning, but everyone is not aware of it. Even we who watched the film felt that such a TV theme was very novel at the beginning, and we were even persuaded by the male protagonist's idea of ​​changing the world. Said he wanted to do real and meaningful things, and he wanted their deaths to be meaningful, but what kind of things are meaningful in exchange for life? I admit that everyone treats their own life differently. Maybe some people think that she used suicide to get the meaning she needs. There is no right or wrong, but it should never be put on the TV screen and used the mainstream media to spread to the society. This part of the extreme "meaning".

It's like a doctor saying "You are so strong" to a terminally ill patient, that's really encouraging them to cherish life, rather than telling them, you might as well die, maybe you can exchange some money for your family to live a better life .

Let's talk about human nature, if the people who came to commit suicide at the beginning of the show still felt that there was no way out and had no choice but to do it, there were many shocking reasons. Later, as the amount became larger and larger, how many people did it for the money, including the audience, from The shock at the beginning, the numbness later, will cheer before watching the death, there is no fear and shock in watching the death, and the best dead person will be voted after watching the death, there is no blood, shock and explosive death scenes will even feel boring, everyone They became insensitive to death, and both the suicide victims and the audience gradually lost their reverence for life. One was for money, the other was for excitement, but they were all outspoken. One said that his sacrifice was meaningful, and the other said that his support for such behavior was changing the world.

Everyone said that there was no precursor to the male protagonist's collapse, but in fact there was. He has always said that he wants to do something meaningful and real, including his original intention of doing the show in the first place, and he really feels that he is meaningful. But once he became famous, he created the number one rating and gained both fame and fortune, and he couldn't stop. He had already discovered that the development of things was different from his original intention. He knew that this was not to make people respect life, let alone change the world. But he can't stop, he can only hint to himself and say to all the voices against him, what I do is meaningful, and kill the "coward" who will destroy this statement with his own hands, because he does not lose what he has gained Everything, he talked about the original intention and meaning, but he added the amount of money to increase the ratings and excitement again and again, joined the campaign mechanism, and called those people the "competitors" he called strictly at the beginning. The thing that cannot be tested by money and power is human nature.

His sister knew that the human nature destroyed by money and power could not be saved by words. She used herself to make him face the fact that "watching a person's death does not make life meaningful", the male protagonist actually already knew , and he did wake up. He angrily said to the photographer to turn off the camera, "Look at what you are shooting, you beasts", maybe he is also saying to himself.

The meaning of life should never be linked to money.

Never use money to test humanity.
