[Turn] No Responsibility for Random Comments

I haven't watched this video yet, but when I saw a friend's comment, I thought it was very well written and it would be a pity not to post it. The repost is as follows~



This movie has a mediocre box office, mediocre reviews, no awards, but the starring and director are both my favorites.

Starring: Al Pacino, oh ha ha ha, my friends call it the old man-I firmly believe that this is due to the influence of "Scent of a Woman" and not "The Wire".

Director: Andrew Nickel, well, this person is really not well-known, but let me say a list of his screenwriter or director's works-"At the end of the day", "The Terminal of Happiness", "The King of War", and "The World of Truman", even if You haven’t watched the first part of Uncoded Man. You must have watched the second part of Tom Hanks. If you haven’t watched the second part, I believe you must have watched the third part of Nicholas Cage. If you haven't seen the last movie of Jim Carrey. . . Sorry, please close the page. From a marketing perspective, it is not an audience at all.

Speaking of the audience, this is of utmost importance to this movie. The Matrix tells us, what truth does not matter, what matters is how we think about truth (the reason why the Chinese and English are mixed is because I don’t remember the lines). The great gods of group psychology tell us that groups are idiots without judgment. You can see it among those who love the big brother endlessly.

This movie, as you might guess, is still about the story behind something. This is also the masterpiece of director Andrew Nickel.

As an unsuccessful Hollywood director, Al Pacino insisted on his artistic ideals and his own scripts and creative methods. This is a miracle. You must know that not everyone can stick to their ideals. The same is true for the senior geek Hank who was booed off the stage. He got a tumor in his eyes to face the computer all day, which directly caused him to hang up.

Here is a PSA: It’s not good to face the computer for a long time.

Classmate Hanke told Classmate Al how great the combination of science and art is. Thus, the virtual idol Simone was born. Yes, she is a fake 10101010 (please leave the rotten girl), but for fans and viewers, she has everything that a living person has-except that she can't touch it.

We can see that compared with the Baudrillard complex of the Matrix, Andrew Nickel mostly stays in the narrower field of mass media criticism in screenwriting, or more precisely, the field of simulation and simulacrum (please forgive me for quoting Baudrillard). Asian term). That’s right, Borges’ myth about maps has appeared in our time. No one cares about the truth. Everyone is willing to be blinded and anesthetized by appearances.

As the first 43 minutes of the lines "virtual idol", "Our ability to manuafcture fraud , now exceeds our ability to detect it." Translation adult word is: "Our ability fraud, now exceeds our ability to identify illusion."

This Is it a sorrow? No, not exactly, the director Andrew Nichols, as a weird bird (very foggy), introduced Al Pacino's daughter (sorry I didn't remember her name) as a delicious little loli to explain.

I remember that the traitor of the Nebuchadnezzar in The Matrix, and the innocent victim in the memory fragment, once said: I would rather I not know the truth about the matrix.

Yes, no one told us that if the Heavenly Dynasty is very brain-dead, we can grow up like our parents and grandparents with dewdrops and flowers.

But if you don't tell the truth, doesn't the truth exist?

Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings once evaded the truth that he was the inevitable leader of the human race. This handsome guy said: I do not want that power, I have never wanted it. However, he faced it bravely, so Agent Smith announced that it is now The era of mankind has begun. (I remember this person once told Murphys in The Matrix II that your human age is over. How come this guy is so inhuman, uh, except for V.)

From the comparison between Aragon and the traitor, we can see that it is a warrior who bravely faces the truth; it is a certain party in the ostrich mentality; it is the common people who have no knowledge.

Ok, back to the topic just now, what exactly did this little loli explain? She used the magic keyboard method to restore Simone, and said: Don't be obsessed with sister, sister is going to politics. What an allegorical ending! The real people still don't know, and the false ones are left to the government (it's very foggy).

In fact, when it comes to this, it is a bit old-fashioned. After all, Al Pacino still succumbed to making a doll before the green background wall, playing with a non-existent person. ——But from the prison, we can see that there are unspoken rules.

This unspoken rule is what little Lori revealed: You can make a fake, but you can't let others know. Otherwise, others will be angry because you have been fooled, not your fraud. ——I have to say that this child has Foucault's potential.

Let us imagine the ending of Dustin Hoffman in Wag the Dog, it is already obvious.

This is an age of desert, the desert of the real itself. Zhuangzi sighed: Is it the only way to be deaf and blind? Yes, as most modern people with poor knowledge and common sense must be known through a hundred forums, we are ignorant objects, ruthlessly ravaged by the informed subjects. And the insider? The omniscience and omnipotence of this interest group must be maintained, the rebel Tianzhu.

At this time, we have to ask, why is a movie in which little loli and her father are the biggest highlights, so I can draw the result of such a conspiracy theory?

I think it's probably out of the need for fun and profit.

For example, if you know the movies, terminology, theories, and allusions I mentioned in the article, if you know, then you are the high position of the insider; if you don't know, you are the receiver of information. High-ranking people naturally have a sense of satisfaction and smile, while those who don't know will look up and lament that there are still such talents in the society that our grass folks can worry-free. And most people do not explore the heart and thirst for knowledge. They are always passive. For example, most people who read this article will not go to the sentence "Our ability to manuafcture fraud, now exceeds our ability to detect it." The line actually appeared in the 22nd minute. Because the public is satisfied with basic survival and the respect of people around them, what should they do if they want greater respect and self-esteem?

Yes, the need for self-esteem has led to the emergence and development of vested interest groups. Those students who have read "The Theory of Human Motivation" will ask, what about the highest-level self-realization needs?

Silly boy, who is self-fulfilling, will he come out and mess with us laymen?
