After the biggest question in Nicholas's mind was answered, the shock in his heart could not be stopped for a long time, he was shocked not only by Hugo's dedication and persistence for the work "Seven Deadly Sins", but also by the distortion of different meanings under the interpretation of the media, which also made the recent media reflection more and more ridiculous; It is also because of the profound meaning of the "Seven Deadly Sins" reflected from Hugo.

To be sure, Hugo's choice of "The Seven Deadly Sins" itself is not directly related to what has happened in recent months, and Andrew Kevin Walker is even less likely to have foreseen the dramatic changes that have taken place in the entire world of journalism since the beginning of this year when he wrote the script "The Seven Deadly Sins".

However, the social reality reflected in the movie "The Seven Deadly Sins" inadvertently echoes each other with the experience that happened to Hugo in the past few months, and then burst into the turbulent waves in his mind, which made Nicholas fall into deep thought, and then gave birth to the "Los Angeles Times" famous article "Reading the 'Seven Deadly Sins' from Hugo Lancaster" professional film review that had a stormy after-impact.

"Hugo Lancaster is once again in the media spotlight, and while he has always been in the spotlight, this time he has set off a long-planned revolution. so that the whole society begins to self-examine.

Hugo's experience over the past few months is a clear reflection of the concept of 'entertainment to death'. Neil Bozeman The concept of entertainment to death proposed by Postman actually refers to the fact that the public discourse in the real world is increasingly appearing in the form of entertainment and becoming a cultural spirit, and all politics, religion, journalism, sports, education, and commerce willingly become vassals of entertainment.

Under the pen of the uncrowned king, no matter how brutal the murder, how terrible the earthquake, how absurd the political scandal, can become the object of their profit, can also become the carrier of social entertainment, and can even become a medium for people to talk and laugh after dinner, the value of news only depends on how much laughter or boos it can bring - how much attention or talk about it, failure has become a culture, and even sadness, pain, and death have become one of the factors in the value measurement system.

Hugo has been like this, from the absence of the "Seven Deadly Sins" opening ceremony, to the refusal to interview during the filming of the film, to the recent absurd and bizarre witch trial during the filming of "Death Row Walk", Hugo has always fulfilled his obligations as an actor, showing a professional attitude, and even putting himself in danger for the sake of the film. However, his professional attitude has become a carrier for the media to ridicule entertainment and win attention, and has become a typical case of entertainment to death.

This is the cruelty of society, and it is also the sorrow of society.

The whole sick society takes entertainment to the extreme, and people reward the most superficial, the most stupid, the meanest, and the most ostentatious. People don't know what morality is, they don't know shame, they don't know what is right or wrong. The darkest side of human nature is admired and celebrated, and it doesn't matter if it's a lie or a fear-mongering, because it's profitable!

When the news media, in order to cater to the market economy and for the sake of sales, and for the sake of profit, regard all public objects, including Hugo, as the objects of consumption, and infringe on the basic rights of public figures without end and limit, the public not only does not find it strange at all, but on the contrary, they take it for granted, 'because they are public figures'.

This society has begun to become distorted, why? It is obviously not so easy to discuss the root causes of the birth of entertainment to death, but it is certain that people's apathy is bound to be one of many reasons. Becoming alienated because of busyness, cold because of alienation, cold because of indifference.

People have given up the most primitive and classical means of communication, the way of emotional communication with relatives and friends, the resistance and complaints about life, and armed themselves with indifference to avoid being hurt, avoiding being in trouble, and avoiding showing vulnerability. As a result, people begin to base their happiness on the suffering of others, talk about the misery of others to set off their own happiness, ridicule the stupidity of others to set off their own intelligence, and sympathize with the misfortune of others to comfort their own happiness......

In the context of the gradual indifference of society, public figures have not only become the object of entertainment, but also the object of venting, and people have pinned their anger, sadness, regret, bitterness, and pain on public figures.

What the Hugo incident reflects is not only the entertainment or mercenary motives of the news media, but also the indifference, cruelty and indifference of the news media. From Rodney King, to Michael Jackson, and more recently, Hugo, these 'witches' created by the indifference and cruelty of society have been out of the scope of the news media, and reflect the indifference, cruelty and indifference of the whole society.

Behind the entertainment to death, what we see is the beginning of social decay, but also the coldness and bloodshed of social indifference, and this qiē is precisely the hotbed for the birth of the mystery of the 'Seven Deadly Sins'. What the whole movie reflects is precisely the cold society that has been armed with indifference.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche wilhelm。 zsche) used to chant, 'God is dead'. From that moment on, our classical society was condemned to an end, and society officially entered modernism. Under the rapid development of modern society, the distance between the world is gradually shrinking, but the distance between people has not narrowed, on the contrary, it has gradually erected cold barriers, alienation and indifference have become the most accurate definition of the relationship between people.

Behind the indifferent life, people gradually no longer care about the people around them, no longer care about their beloved, no longer care about social morality and justice, lack of communication and communication, lack of sustenance and reliance, lack of care and friendliness, behind the indifference makes people's inner emptiness nowhere to vent, so the gossip of public figures and wonderful, the desire to become famous. The cruel and cold-blooded bite of hope and the law of the jungle has become their greatest spiritual sustenance.

The so-called seven deadly sins are no longer the classical traditional definition, but have been labeled as modern. Everyone walks on their own path and runs their own lives, and busyness and apathy make them lose their perception of life, so in' The Seven Deadly Sins are a few examples of understatements: robbers stabbing a person in the eye to grab some change and a watch, when a woman is assaulted, it is useless to cry out for help but to call for fire, the landlord cheats on the Mills by renting them a house tormented by the noise of the subway, and another landlord treats the victim who is tortured into the living dead as the best tenant because he receives regular rent in the mailbox.

And in the real life of leaving the movie, Hugo, as an actor, was so devoted to his performance that he put himself in danger of mental illness, but this became a means for the media to make profits, and became the focus of people's after-dinner meals, with no sympathy, no care, no respect, and only indifferent talk and ridicule that had nothing to do with himself.

This is undoubtedly the most brutal form of violence, and it is this cold violence that gives birth to the seven deadly sins of modernity: arrogance, envy, rage, laziness, gluttony, greed, and adultery. Desire.

People have abandoned friendliness in favor of indifferent arrogance; People abandon understanding and appreciation in favor of jealousy and rage; People have abandoned their health and their future, opting for momentary laziness and gluttony; People have abandoned morality in favor of dirty greed; People abandoned their love for each other and chose short-lived lewdness. Desire.

It is these seven deadly sins that gave birth to this movie, a great thriller and suspense work, and a warning book that alerted the world.

As the murderer said, this is a work for the world. Just like the murderer's chosen modus operandi, each one is well arranged and full of metaphors, which is just right for the classicism that runs counter to this modern world. He strangled the gluttonous fat man to death with food, trapped the lazy addict to death with the bed, punished the greedy lawyer to death with fairness, and enjoyed lewdness with pleasure props. Both sides of desire are frightened to death, kill their hope of survival with arrogance, and finally destroy all of them with a rage that loses control.

The murderer has a modern tool - a pistol, he could easily end every life, but he did not let the swiftness and ephemerality of modernization replace the lost elegant classicism, and taught a lesson to the murderous and cold modernity, through each victim to reflect the seven deadly sins of modern times, but also the most direct and bloody condemnation of social indifference and cruelty; But this qiē method and method comes from modern inspiration, as the movie says, 'We are facing daily life'.

Entertaining to death is one of the seven deadly sins in itself, which is arrogance, jealousy, anger, greed, and adultery. Desire...... The seven deadly sins that breed under the indifference of modern society destroy the souls of countless people, the three protagonists in the movie are one of the victims, and Hugo in real life is also one of the victims, including those who have been hurt and even lost their lives because of people's indifference and indifference.

In the face of social indifference and cruelty, Hugo chose his way to fight, the witch trial two years ago was thought-provoking, and Michael Jackson's clearing of grievances in April this year proved Hugo's right; Last month's 'neurotic' rhetoric was silent, and the truth of the facts proves the wisdom of Hugo's non-violent non-cooperative revolt.

As the murderer in 'The Seven Deadly Sins' said, 'If you want someone to listen to you, it's not enough to pat him on the shoulder, you have to shake him so that they will listen to you carefully'. The August 5 rebellion shook the whole society, but it is uncertain whether Hugo succeeded or not, and the society's reflection on entertainment to death continues; But what is certain is that in the movie, the murderer succeeded.

The story of "Seven Deadly Sins" tells the story of three people, Samosey, Mills and the murderer, each using their own way to fight against the seven deadly sins of society, and against the indifference and cruelty of society, which is precisely the core idea of the whole movie, and the most deafening response! ”
