Should such a decision be left to the public?

The film tells the story that happened less than a year before the Brexit referendum. It can be said to be ups and downs.

The Brexiteers, led by Dominic, seized the referendum loophole and ushered in the so-called new political train 'micro-targeted politics under big data'. Attempts to release the anxiety, doubt and anger in the people's hearts in order to achieve the purpose of Brexit.

Remainers were complacent at first, believing that it was inevitable, they only presented evidence and stated the facts, and provided a large amount of data for the people to choose for themselves. In their hearts, the ending was too clear and too simple. They also put too much faith in the rational element of their own nation.

It was not until the Remainers were assassinated that the main leaders of the Remain camp realized that they had lost, as early as 20 years ago. The Brexit sentiment has been accumulating from the beginning to the end, but the government has not properly channeled it, which has led to the wanton use of the Brexiteers. Now that the Pandora's box has been opened, the uncivilized solution has replaced the accumulation of civilization for so many years, only in an instant.

Is this a good train? Or is it a train that is driven by a few people to the degeneration of democracy? so? Should such a complex decision be left to the people?

Such a question comes to my mind today, n years after the referendum ended, the British government still hasn't figured it out, right? The ramifications of the referendum remain.

There are a few words in the movie that make me shudder:

In the early days of the referendum, Dominica thought he would win, and the reason was simple. He called the political decision method of the Remainers to present facts and evidence as conventional wisdom, and he himself has mastered the stunt of overtaking, that is, the manipulation of human hearts under big data. This technology has placed as many as 100 million for him. , which drew at least 3 million votes

The last sentence is really embarrassing, that is, the Internet algorithms in this day and age know yourself better than you! It can make decisions for you!

And when Dominic asked the general manager of the algorithm company a question, his answer was even more sad.

In this supervisor's mind, he thought this was an experiment. Doesn't he know it's about the fate of England? He knew, what was it that drove him to do such an experiment even so?

At this time, Dominic was obviously angry too. The 'experiment' did not match his original intention. What he wanted was 'reset'! But the supervisor persuaded him with a few words, the reason is very simple, if you don't do such an experiment, you can't win!

The argument for persuasion is that without 'new politics' you cannot win! So, after this conversation, everything changed!

In the end, what the Remainers said to Mr. Duo when they knew that their situation was over was even more terrifying. This is 'post-truth', and even the Remainers themselves have been 'post-truth'.

Make a wish carefully, you can't control it.

In fact, such a question should not have been subject to a public referendum. But the Remainers naively believe that good countries can ask their own questions, solve their own problems, and solve them in a civilized way. but? What about the facts? Backfired, they overestimated the sanity of the people. And the Brexiteers naively believe that Brexit is the restart of British politics, the people regaining control again, the end of all corrupt politics, and the beginning of a new political train. but? The facts of the past few years have also proved that things backfired. They overestimate the government's ability to reform itself. We use the latest technology to try to control the minds of the people. How can we control the new technology ourselves? Or are they controlled by a few?

    The creative team's desire to express is so strong that they forget that one of the most important creative principles of film as a carrier is to focus - focus on Brexit, from political movements to crimes of personal injury, focus on the subtle impact of fake news on politics, focus on a The gap between people's aspirations and reality will be a topic of concern and depth. It's a pity that I talked about it all over again, basically 20-30 minutes to change the topic. Take control of your expressiveness, a timeless management task in filmmaking.

    It can be said that this film is quite boring and pointless. The news is too boring and unnecessary. / Nigel Farage laughs cry when he comes on stage? It can be said that he looks alike, but his accent is not the same~ Like the soundtrack, there is nothing more suitable than Bei Jiu

Brexit quotes

  • Craig Oliver: I hadn't realized, and now it's too late. Their campaign began twenty years ago. More. The slow drip, drip, drip of fear and hate. Without anyone willing to counter it. Worse - we stuck the boot in, too. How many of us on this side blamed Europe, or the outsider, when it was politically convenient to do so? And now? Now we're expected in a matter of weeks to begin pushing back that tide.

    [watches angry confrontation between Remain and Leave protesters on TV]

    Craig Oliver: So this is what we're reduced to, is it? This is who we are.

  • Nigel Farage: Everything you've been briefing on so far, and not one mention of immigration.

    Dominic Cummings: That's on purpose. We don't want to bring...

    Nigel Farage: Oh, don't come over all bleeding bloody hearts, it's bollocks! You know, you turn up for five minutes and you think you know the lot. Well, *I* have been fighting for this my whole life - and I know what lands.

    Dominic Cummings: People already know what they think about immigration. The people we're trying to win over, the people we need to win, extend beyond UKIP.

    Nigel Farage: Oh - so you don't want to make the bien pensants sitting around your London dinner table uncomfortable? We don't need 'em! We need normal people!

    Dominic Cummings: We need 50% of the entire country plus one. Second fundamental of running a successful campaign, build a broad coalition of voters, and for that

    Dominic Cummings: you need to be respectable. No offense.

    Arron Banks: *Excuse* me?
