"The big problem is that people do not believe a revolution is possible, and it is not possible precisely because they do not believe it is possible.
The biggest problem is that people do not believe that revolution is possible
and the real cause of the problem It’s their implausibility of this possibility.”
Originally known as Manifesto (the “Manifesto”), “Bomberman” looks at how FBI profiler Jim Fitzgerald started with a letter from Kaczynski to the New York Times. The whole process of bringing to justice.
The role of Jim Fitzgerald is real. Since he retired from the FBI in 2007, his personal stage has slowly moved to Hollywood. He not only served as the technical consultant for the CBS long-lived crime drama Criminal Minds, but also authored the publication of A Journey to the Center of the Mind is also one of the sources of the plot setting of this play.
The real version of Jim Fitzgerald
Perhaps the real Jim was just a dedicated FBI agent (regardless of the real history, it was his own brother who finally caught Kaczynski who recognized his style of writing), but Jim played by Sam Worthington in "Bomberman" , Obviously shoulders a heavier task than solving the case.
The first to bear the brunt of course is the reason behind Kaczynski, a former UC Berkley professor with an IQ 167 and a PhD degree in mathematics who became a serial killer. In the first episode, there is not much description of Kaczynski, except for the monologue of the postal system and a series of visually and from the FBI's mouth of the explosion ground and the victim's photos, there is no intuitive portrayal of this character. Jim was arranged to live in a seclusion in the forests of Northern California at the beginning, not because of the archetype, but the screenwriter’s desire to project the real Kaczynski into this character in a certain aspect, so as to build a stronger relationship between him and Kaczynski than in history. connect.
Real version of Kaczynski
"Bomberman" laid out two timelines in reverse order. One is that Jim started to participate in the resumption of the bombing case in 1995, and the other is that Kaczynski was arrested two years later and asked to negotiate face-to-face with him, which is the beginning of the article.
Kaczynski, who has a high IQ and obtained a PhD degree in mathematics, lived in seclusion on the outskirts of Montana for a long time. He built a small wooden house for himself, away from electricity and running water, and devoted himself to studying sociology and philosophy for several years. During this period Acquired a lot of wild survival skills. This is consistent with his philosophy of resisting industrial society, Jim's seclusion or an attempt to enter Kaczynski's inner world.
"They want you to give up your humanity and autonomy for the sake of salary, medals, and a bigger TV."
As early as the first episode, the simple interaction between Jim and his wife and friends has already paved the way for him to be able to approach Kaczynski. This is the setting of the best psychological candidate: Even at his Quantico graduation party, Jim, who is less cautious, still feels very cramped, and is still dissatisfied with the bureaucracy after entering the FBI.
The screenwriter hopes to discuss the harm to society and the environment caused by the industrial revolution by enhancing Jim’s empathy with Kaczynski in the play, but it is different from the rational discussion in "Bomberman", which adopts a more radical attitude and approach. .
"What worries me is that I might in a sense adapt to this environment and come to be comfortable here and not resent it anymore.
I worry that I gradually adapted to this environment and become more and more comfortable ease, without I feel resentful about it again.”
The book "On Industrial Society and Its Future" that he sent to the New York Times, which appeared in its entirety at the end of the film, fully described Kaczynski's attitude towards industrial society and his motivation for carrying out this series of explosive behaviors. Judging from the content of the trailer, the second episode will detail this 35,000-word declaration in more detail.
The philosophical system that Kaczynski firmly believes all comes from the human psychology model he has studied, and he has established a very clear moral evaluation standard for modern technology, but this evaluation standard is based on the impact of this or another technology on human beings. The arbitrary and incomplete impact of welfare. One of the topics he often discusses is that "the pain caused by the successful survival of the industrial system (after a lot of long-term pain) is not necessarily less than the complete collapse." Death, the small amount of pain and death caused by attempts to alert the world is also worth neglecting.
Kaczynski's consideration of the negative impact of industrial society on mankind is very worthy of our continued in-depth thinking, but this does not justify his killing. Any behavior that undermines the public and the interests of others should be stopped.
Looking forward to follow-up development.
