Chapter 719: Traitor
"Daisy, it's me, Justin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
In the living room of an independent apartment, Daisy held her mobile phone to her ear, and a familiar voice came from the earpiece, "There's an interview with Murphy tonight, do you watch?" ”
"I know." Daisy laughs and says, "I'm on the TV now, waiting for the interview to start." ”
After chatting with Justin for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Daisy hung up the phone, made herself a cup of coffee, and then sat on the couch in front of the TV, switched to Fox News, and waited for the TV interview to begin.
As the leader of the IMDB discussion group, Daisy has confirmed the news that Murphy will respond to the shooting in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood in an exclusive interview tonight, and the series of turmoil that followed, which is the main reason why she is attracted to sit here and watch.
Although she is now a believer in magicians, as a fan of the once-crazy Murphy Stanton, she still wants to know what her former idol thinks about this series of events.
Daisy looked at the TV, the show hadn't started yet, she picked up her coffee cup and took a sip slowly.
"Murphy has always been the perverted, dark, and crazy director, and that's reflected directly in his films." Daisy's mind is full of ideas about Murphy, "from Hard Fruit Candy and Saw at the beginning, to Dark City, which reached the top at the end, it proves it! ”
I believe that he will understand what he is doing, Daisy thinks, this is a TV interview, Murphy should not say anything supportive, he is a smart director, but they are the same kind of people, Murphy will not say anything against her like those stupid media.
Daisy is confident in this, because she has always believed that she is exactly the same person as Murphy Stanton, the only difference is that Murphy Stanton created those theories and put them in the film, and she was responsible for bringing them to life!
"It's a pity......" Daisy sighed, "if I could join forces with Murphy, Los Angeles would be in a panic right now." ”
She felt quite regretful, after all, after doing so much, Los Angeles is still in order, and it is inevitable that she will be disappointed.
As soon as the time came, the Fox News television interview began, and Murphy and the host appeared in a small and elaborate room to begin to express some of his opinions.
At first, Daisy didn't feel anything, but the further the interview went, the tighter her brow became, and what Murphy said and the position she was in seemed to be different from what she thought.
"Mr. Michael Werner, a criminal psychology expert from the FBI, once wrote in the media."
Looking at the relaxed Murphy at the TV festival, Daisy listened to what he said word for word, "Looking at the previous series of major shootings in the United States, the murderers can basically be identified as a type of person, that is, socially phobic and highly paranoid. ”
Who is he talking about? Daisy's brow furrowed a pimple, who hates society? Who suffers from high paranoia? Am I right? I just want to make society what it is!
Her eager gaze gradually faded, and she continued to watch Murphy gushing on the TV show, "These people all want to make an impact by killing, and the perpetrator in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood is a typical example, which has nothing to do with any film." ”
Daisy's eyes widened, how could he be so irresponsible? How can you say that? How can one deny the idea of the greatness of creation? Aren't magicians born in your scripts and shots?
How could Murphy say that, do that?
And, the perpetrators? Murphy calls himself the perpetrator? Why did he say that? He just put his ideas and ideas into practice!
This is completely different from what Daisy thought before, and Murphy didn't admit that it had anything to do with him at all, and pushed it all away.
In Daisy's eyes, what Murphy said on the TV was a shirk of responsibility.
Jeffrey Swanson, a professor of violence and mental illness at Brown University......, believes that "he seems to have used a lot of experts to corroborate," and that "one should not prematurely draw conclusions about the murderer's motives for committing the crime." While the killers of major shootings are generally young men with autistic tendencies and often imitate certain movies, the problem is that there are tens of thousands of people who meet this criterion and have never done such a thing. ”
Daisy's eyes were turning cold when she looked at the TV, and her fiery heart towards Murphy before was also getting colder little by little.
But on television, her former idol and most admired person has never stopped," Steve Albrecett, an expert at the American Association of Threat Assessment Professionals, recently commented on these events, arguing that the killer may be the loser of a series of events in an attempt to solve the problem with the killing, speculating that the police's efforts to find the murderer's motive may be futile and that it is better to focus more on stopping such criminal cases in the first place. ”
What is a loser? What does it mean to try to solve a problem by killing? Daisy's heart grew colder and colder, and she said to herself, "Am I a loser?" Am I the one trying to solve the problem by killing? ”
On television, although Murphy did not directly say that her actions had nothing to do with the movie "Dark City", those remarks undoubtedly put the blame on her, as if these theories were not created by him.
As for the involvement and relationship between film and violence, it is unclear that the previous year was unclear, and whether it was CAA or Twentieth Century Fox, the strategies developed by the professional public relations teams on both sides were surprisingly consistent, leading Murphy to firmly deny that his films were directly responsible for these cases.
Murphy is not stupid, of course he will not admit the media hype, let alone agree with the idea that the so-called murderer was born by the movie, this is the United States, he is a Hollywood director, and movies are just one of all commodities, just like knives and guns sold in shopping malls, they can kill people, but you can't put the blame on the people who make and sell them legally, right?
It would be a fool to admit that his film led to violent crime.
At the scene of the show, Murphy continued according to the strategy formulated in advance, "North America is a very mature film market, Hollywood has perfect self-censorship, and the films that can be released on a large scale in North America are very limited in violent scenes, and "Dark City" is a PG-13 level movie, which is essentially a family movie, and there are many children to watch it. ”
He said naturally, "If you want to say that movies are related to violence, and literature also has violence, you can't think about it, but in fact, the core issue of this incident is the problem of gun control in the United States." ”
This kind of thing is not only to shirk responsibility, but also to find a more suitable person to carry the black cauldron, in a country like the United States, who else can find a more suitable person to carry this black pot than the federal government and the American system?
At the same time as the show was going on, Murphy's black fan organization and some hardcore fan organizations also posted and created topics on the Internet, especially on social platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, which have a huge number of users.
"For those of you who have watched "Dark City", who of you hasn't been fascinated by the magician's extreme madness and elaborate planning? Who would dare to say that after reading it, they don't have the urge to detonate a bomb somewhere and then come out of it like a magician? But did you do that? ”
"Nope! Because you are rational, you can tell what is fantasy and what is reality. ”
"But for some people, they have been living in fantasy, or forced to live in fantasy all the time, maybe the murderer and the magician, have a shocking psychological scar, criminal psychology also believes that the occurrence of criminal behavior is inseparable from childhood experience, and the influence of the real world on a person's psychology is the root of criminal behavior!"
To say that movies can't affect real society at all, Murphy himself doesn't believe it, but this kind of thing is just thinking about it, and it's definitely not suitable to say it.
Sitting in front of the TV, Daisy didn't move, her eyes were calm as water, and her heart was cold as ice.
"Why? Why is this happening? She wanted to shout, but couldn't utter a word, "Why did he say that?" Why, exactly? ”
The TV show was always playing, and Murphy's voice came again, "Actually, there is a saying that describes it very well - people actually know the truth, the world is very simple, it is very cruel, there is no miracle, there is no magic, but some people just can't accept these ......"
"Director Stanton, one last question." On the TV, the host's voice sounded to ask, "The murderer may be your fan, if he is sitting in front of the TV, what do you want to say to him?" ”
Daisy instantly focused, staring at the TV, even her ears pricked up, she wanted to see what Murphy had to say!
"I hope he will turn himself in to the police as soon as possible......"
Hearing the first words of Murphy on TV, Daisy stood up, her eyes as sharp as a sword.
"I don't know if you can see this show, but what I want to say is, please think about it anyway, it's completely wrong to do so, there is still a lot of beauty in this world to pursue, don't continue on the wrong path......"
"Damn it!" Daisy picked up the remote control and turned off the TV directly, "Damn! Damn it! Damn ......"
She said it several times in a row, and her voice was higher than again, and finally she raised her foot and kicked it the sofa, which made her depressed heart feel better.
After a long time, Daisy gradually calmed down, but her eyes were cold and frightening.
"Traitor!" Her expression was hideous, and she slowly squeezed a sentence out of her mouth, "Murphy Stanton, you are a traitor!" ”
