Scream in camera

Is this just a simple condemnation of America's poor gun control? No! Is this just a bloody reenactment of the bloody violence in America? No! Is this just a sharp satire on the American mainstream media and politicians? No! The troubles and fears brought about by this documentary are like the screams of the dark night, shaking every viewer. It tells all of this in a playful manner, presenting the unease and fear of the entire American society naked in front of us, and the result is people shooting each other and endless bloodshed violence. What is the answer? what is it? Where is the key to solving the problem? The director does not tell us directly and explicitly, but uses his camera to reveal the darkness that was once covered up.
What is it that makes an ordinary teenager raise the gun in his hand and aim it at the head of another teenager? "Every one of us has a problem, and the whole society has a problem." The sensational Columbine High School gun incident in 1999 first shook us. Open a bank account and get a rifle, and a book on how to make a bomb can be easily obtained by a nobody. This seems to have directly led to the tragedy, but these are only bloody surfaces. Where is the root of the fear in people's hearts and even the fear in the entire American society? People are looking for answers. Sadly, however, black and heavy metal bands became scapegoats. People talk about the fact that the crime rate has a decisive connection with black people, so every black person becomes a natural murderer. What is even more ridiculous is that heavy metal bands have become the target of public criticism. It seems that it is through these bands that teenagers go to depravity.
Mainstream media and news reports have made a lot of hype, trying to cover up the darkness and filth, and confuse the public and audiovisuals. The American public thus finds a reasonable starting point for a crime rate of 11,271 crimes per year. The director, however, uses his camera to objectively and sharply overthrow all absurd rhetoric, exposing the root of the violence. A comical cartoon "South Park" in the film vividly penetrates the compulsion and delusion of the American people. This is the heart disease of every American and the heart disease of the entire American nation. Fearing that they would use violence to balance their hearts, criminal killings have been staged so far, and the dripping blood has led to a deeper fear. Life has turned into the smoke of war. It seems that the whole world is full of villains with ulterior motives. Furthermore, the media's exaggeration and the irresponsible distorted facts of politicians attempt to cover up the evil deeds and blind people's sight. Yes, every morning is ordinary, but the appearance of ordinary causes may be the muzzle of a black gun.
The director is undoubtedly angry and sharp. He uses the camera to shout out his heart, and the form is so ironic and ridiculous. Will people in the United States who watch this film feel astonished and re-examine their own hearts?
