Netflix released the Polish drama "Suicide Room: The Hater" last Wednesday. From the perspective of a fledgling college student, stepping into a dirty PR agency, in order to achieve his goals, he constantly walks on the edge of the law and hides Under the cold face, there is a weak and hypocritical heart, and he has established a role that is scheming and pitiful. The newcomers in the workplace enter the political circle and single-handedly reverse the political climate with exquisite design, reflecting the relationship between public relations companies and public relations companies. The double-edged sword of social media can not only quickly create stars, but also instantly destroy social celebrities.
The audience follows in the footsteps of the male protagonist to go through five obstacles and six generals, as if they are in the game world and take advantage of other people's bodies. The film carefully depicts the means of public relations to destroy social celebrities. The discussion of related issues remains at the superficial stage, and the coincidental plots that appear repeatedly when promoting the development of the plot are very playful and waste a worthwhile bridge. In addition, the film does not have enough space to lay out the "glass heart" of the male protagonist, so the sudden explosion of the male protagonist in some scenes makes people feel abrupt.
The film tells the story of a male protagonist studying law who was expelled from school for plagiarizing his thesis. In order to gain the attention of his childhood friend's crush and the respect of her family, he joined a public relations firm and was ordered to smear the competition among customers on social media. The opponent, bringing the opponent into disrepute, as he stepped into the political circle, he gradually crossed the boundary of human morality...
The movie has always told the story from the perspective of the male protagonist, trying to make the audience feel the pleasure of the male protagonist passing the level quickly. Shortly after the opening, the male protagonist secretly left a backup phone at his crush's house and overheard the family's conversations through phone calls, laying the groundwork for the male protagonist to complete the task by any means possible, which directly reflects the male protagonist's desire to get girls and their families. Approved. The shame and depression of not being recognized drives him to look for a job that symbolizes his status, intending to break the family's stereotype of him growing up, and the behavior of the characters here is still reasonable.
In the latter part, the male protagonist seems to be demonized and does not hesitate to throw away any shackles in order to seek superiority. He uses his ketone body, verbal incitement ability and keen observation to turn the whole political situation in Poland. insufficient. In a certain scene, the male protagonist suddenly goes berserk, crying that under the elite system, the commoners can only work in the military, liberating the pressure that has accumulated over the years, rationalizing what he has done, and seeming to have forgotten the objective fact that he came to the top with the help of human blood, and it is difficult to create characters. Empathize with the audience.
The male protagonist is a robot with no emotions. Everything starts from himself. He thinks that as long as he becomes more perfect, he will definitely be able to exchange for the love of the goddess family. He lacks the ability to feel the feelings of others. Skipping the "comfort" and "encouragement" parts in the middle, the male protagonist has an extraordinary ability to incite, and when he lacks empathy, he can't be flexible in these situations.
The male protagonist only cares about his own interests and does not care about the feelings of others. The movie exaggerates the street protests in many places. Even if the people around him continue to discuss the issue, the male protagonist has no opinion on it. The goal of the goddess is like a pseudo-person living in a parallel time and space. In order to keep her "job", she keeps her own voice, or even embarrassed. She is as disgusting as the male protagonist while waving the banner of "hate politics", while selling out the moral bottom line for the purpose. , get close to presidential candidates, and beware of such villains.
The purpose of the film is to explore the trend of public opinion in the entire country controlled by a public relations company. Social media cannot reflect 100% public opinion, but the director has great ambitions. The existing plot alone cannot support the breadth of existing issues. All issues can only be discussed one-sidedly without digging deeply. In addition, a lot of coincidental plots emerge when the movie switches to political elements, and there are many unreasonable points. If the male protagonist easily enters the political circle because he has "confirmed his eyes", then no one will recognize the candidate in Jiuchi, or the public opinion when the secret is exposed. Whether the battle is won effortlessly, or the ending suddenly "dedicates" and puts yourself in crisis, a series of details seem worth figuring out.
When watching the movie, I suddenly thought of Netflix's original TV series "Requiem Bookstore" (You) and the author's highly recommended movie "Nightcrawler". The two works also show that the male protagonist is constantly blackening. The hero of "Requiem Bookstore" is the driving point of love and the news section in "Headline Murder", but the combination of the two seems nondescript, unable to retain the simple and direct "otaku story" tone of "Requiem Bookstore", and it is lacking "Headline Murder" almost nakedly exposes the dark magnanimity of American television.
The ambition of the director of "The Web of Hate" is evident. To build a grand story involving the political system of Poland, to reveal the ideas and methods of malicious smearing by public relations companies in a curious style, coupled with the growth story of the male protagonist who has fallen into low self-esteem and is eager for recognition, film elements. Rich, there is absolutely no cold scene when watching, but the balance of materials is not properly handled and cannot fully reflect the message of the film.
