Chapter 871: Duke? The scariest thing about Rosenberg's films
readx;?“ If you ask me why the criminals chose to shoot the audience when The Dark Knight Rises was released, I can only say that it has nothing to do with the movie itself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info[Latest Chapter Reading]"
On Saturday, a similar article appeared in many media outlets, pointing the finger at "The Dark Knight Rises".
This is the answer given by a police officer in Los Angeles, USA, when answering a reporter's question, 'Do you think the shooting suspect was influenced by the movie?' Similar questions back in Duke? When Rosenberg's second film in the Batman series, "The Dark Knight", was released, it was asked by some reporters. Ledger's character as a clown is too real for young people to imitate. ”
"At that time, Duke? Rosenberg's answer was 'young people have their own judgment', and this phrase became a response to Duke's response from some of the media. Rosenberg gives the nucleus of harsh criticism, Duke? Rosenberg and Warner Bros. have created a grandiose, large, and intensive propaganda campaign for The Dark Knight Rise, which is considered by experts and police to be an indirect inducement to commit crimes. ”
"The promotion of The Dark Knight Rises is completely brainwashing and viral. It constantly renders Duke? The confidence, evil, and darkness of the villains in Rosenberg's films, even Batman himself, has transformed from a hero into a 'loyalist who struggles in the mire of crime in Gotham City'...... I'm sure most movie fans go to the movies to see how the villain turns reality upside down, and they're expecting a murderer who can kill Batman, because Duke? Rosenberg made them love neuroticism, revenge, and anarchism. ”
"This also profoundly reveals that Duke? One question for Rosenberg is that his Batman series is different from previous comic book hero movies, and it doesn't focus on Batman and Bruce? Wayne, but villains like the Joker or Bane, who are more three-dimensional and distinct than Batman, and this way of creation is combined with the publicity of the villain characters before the release of the film - the Batman movie in Duke? In Rosenberg's hands, Batman is the foil, and he spent $250 million to create the villain who broke Batman and the support of society - so that fans will be instilled with the values of being more inclined to villains, is Duke? The most terrifying thing about Rosenberg's films is that he directly influences and distorts the audience's value orientation. ”
"In the publicity for The Dark Knight Rises. The filmmakers made extensive use of viral marketing, such as posting wanted notices for the film's villains on the Internet, to increase the attention of the film. On the other hand, this deepens the dividing line between the film and reality, and this kind of publicity caused panic among fans as early as 1999 when "Blair the Witch" was released. At that time, an American television station conducted a survey, and 47 percent of the fans surveyed believed that the video of "Blair the Witch" was real. ”
"What's even more terrifying, Duke? Rosenberg's accumulating praise for the last Batman film, The Dark Knight, is another possible trigger. Long before the 'Rise of the Dark Knight Shooting', some fans threatened to 'let the early moviegoers who gave bad reviews die unexpectedly'. As well as the fact that he himself received death threats. ”
"There are also media rumors based on eyewitness rumors, saying that James? Holmes was murdered because he 'didn't get a ticket for the premiere'. These speculations have frightened the people of the whole United States! ”
"It's time for us to reflect, and that reflection should start with self-exclusion of the values that The Dark Knight Rises promotes!"
Statements like this have appeared in large numbers in major media outlets.
"Batman's enemies in Tim? In the hands of Burton is a comic-style mad character, in Duke? In Rosenberg's hands, they have flipped into three-dimensional and complex terrorists like clowns, who believe in anarchy, and before they become thugs, they are victims of a cruel material society like Batman, but they have gone on a journey with Bruce? Wayne has taken the opposite path. ”
This path is more in line with the choice of normal people, and it is far easier to fall than to uphold justice. Take James? Holmes imitates the Joker, who doesn't trust anyone, even his own subordinates, who can kill without hesitation. He doesn't need money and power, but he plays with everybody with those two things. He is not afraid of death, he is not afraid of failure, and he only wants to destroy this world as cold as himself. ”
"Officially, such a person and role, to guide only 25-year-old James? Holmes is on a path of no return! ”
"Since the first filmmakers discovered the commercial entertainment properties of cinema a hundred years ago, violence has been inextricably linked to cinema. Under the tutelage of a famous director like Rosenberg, it gradually evolved into an exhilarating art. ”
"Looking at Duke? In Rosenberg's twenty-year career as a director, we can see a very obvious pattern: no violence. Not commercial. The violent elements in the movie satisfy the restless hearts dissatisfied with reality, so that the audience's heroic complex and desire for destruction are temporarily satisfied in the virtual world of the movie. ”
"In the meantime, Duke? Rosenberg's films also familiarize the audience with crime and learn to commit it. Even hooked on crime. We should admit that movies do have an unshirkable responsibility for the increasingly rampant social violence of all kinds, and if you have seen "The Dark Knight", who of you has not been fascinated by the Joker'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 come out like a clown? ”
These criticisms and well-intentioned public opinion were basically expected by Duke and Warner Bros. As if it had been agreed, Warner's media continued to publish relevant comments on the incident.
It's impossible to undo the effects of the shooting, but it's possible to form an argument rather than some kind of public opinion direction that is unfavorable to The Dark Knight Rises.
Warner Bros. first moved out a number of criminal psychology experts.
Michael, a criminal psychology expert from the FBI? Werner wrote in the media, "Looking at the previous series of major shootings in the United States, the murderers can basically be identified as one type of people, that is, socially phobic, suffering from high paranoia, hoping to make an impact by killing, James? Holmes is a prime example of this, and it doesn't have much to do with any film. ”
Jeffrey, a professor of violence and mental illness at Duke University? Swanson argues that "one should not prematurely draw conclusions about the murderer's motive 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. ”
American Association of Threat Assessment Professionals expert Steve ? Albrecht told reporters that "the killer may have been the loser of a series of events and tried to solve the problem with the help of killing." He speculated that the police's efforts to find the killer's motive might be futile, and that it would be better to focus more on stopping such crimes in the first place. ”
Although these people didn't say James directly? Holmes' actions have nothing to do with the Batman franchise, but the remarks are undoubtedly in favor of The Dark Knight Rises.
Presumably because the incident was favorable to Okuheit's policy, a White House spokesman representing the authorities in Washington argued that there was no connection between the shooting and the film.
"The violent scenes of the film that can be released on a large scale are very limited, and the "Batman" series is essentially a family movie, and there are still many children to watch it."
At a regular press conference at the White House, the spokesman said, "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 of this incident is the issue of gun control in the United States." ”
He also praised, "In "The Dark Knight Rises", Duke? Director Rosenberg maintained a high level, and he raised the grade and standard of superhero films. ”
In the face of various voices questioning the "Batman" series, Duke's sailors also went out again, haunting various well-known video movie websites and social networking sites, directly refuting the views of some media.
"If you've watched The Dark Knight, who hasn't been fascinated by the Joker's extreme madness and elaborate planning? Who dares to say that after reading it, they don't have the urge to detonate a bomb somewhere and come out like a clown? 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've always lived in fantasy, or they've been forced to live in fantasy all the time. Let's turn our attention to the cold-blooded killer James? Holmes, in the description of his neighbors and school teachers and classmates, James? Holmes is a quiet, introverted and even withdrawn man, described by his classmates as an 'enigmatic figure' whose name is not found on any of his classmates' social networking sites. ”
"What does this mean about James? Holmes has a shocking scar like the Joker, but Holmes's is not in the mouth, but in the heart, criminal psychology 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 the movie does not affect the real world at all, Duke himself does not believe it, but Warner must be so promoted.
In fact, there is a saying that describes it very well - the audience actually knows the truth, the world is very simple, it is very cruel, there is no miracle, and there is no magic. But if you can fool them, even if it's just for a second, you'll be able to amaze them, and then you'll see something very special. Don't you really know? That's the look on the audience's face.
