Chapter 157: Serial Killer, Mud Song Kai
Once any event exceeds the threshold of the limited event itself, its influence will even reach a level of stunning.
The hit screening of "The Silence of the Lambs" and the associated "serial killer surrender incident" have already exceeded a certain threshold!
Unlike the ogre Du Ying, who confessed, there were many crimes that needed to be further investigated; Lin Qing's case, after she confessed, it can be said that it has entered the closing stage, and the police have been able to release some details.
Naturally, it sparked great controversy.
Although it is said that no matter what the reason, it should not be a reason to kill, there are really many people who sympathize with her.
Mostly empathetic women.
After all, just like in "The Silence of the Lambs", the suspicious eyes of other male police officers, the boss's request for women to avoid suspicion, and the occasional joke or two with color or something, in the real workplace, are all family meals, which happen repeatedly and never change.
Lin Qing is nothing more than a deep victim of the threat to women in a patriarchal society.
No one can deny that she has taken the wrong path, but her sentence "The most powerful weapon in the world is the determination to get out" is also deafening.
There are female lawyers, well, there are also male lawyers, and there are public appeals for -
"In society as a whole, the current punishment for people who sexually assault people in the workplace, or those who take advantage of their positions to engage in gender discrimination, is too small to be useless."
"Heavy punishments must be imposed on the offenders, especially those who take advantage of their positions or status advantages to harm women, and they must be arrested and severely punished, otherwise a positive atmosphere will not be formed at all."
"There are also various channels in society, including film and television dramas, publications, and media platforms, and stop promoting the workplace culture of girls so-called 'bowing your head and waist can succeed, groveling can win, and eating and drinking with you and even accompanying X can get ahead'......"
- Of course, everyone understands that these appeals are suspicious of gaining popularity.
However, this does not prevent many women who have suffered greatly from supporting it.
In addition, the heroine in "The Silence of the Lambs", who represents the symbol of isolation and constant threat by men, has become a symbol for many women, especially women in the workplace, to explore "how women can gain their status in a patriarchal society".
The most direct manifestation is that I don't know how many women walk into the theater for the first time in their lives and watch a thriller seriously.
is also to treat the characters in the movie as a kind of spiritual sustenance and hope, compared to Lin Qing's "lost and returned" in a sense, the controversy caused by another serial killer made the media even more excited!
- News similar to "Du Ying turned himself in because he wanted to copy Hannibal's life" was also dug up by pervasive reporters.
Then, the flaws in the movie "The Silence of the Lambs" seem to have finally been revealed.
A well-known, well, in fact, daring social critic wrote an article that severely criticized the so-called "murderous pop culture" triggered by this film -
"In "The Silence of the Lambs", Hannibal is the villain, terrifying and charming, which is hardly frowned against.
One might wonder why so many people, including me, like a murderer. Are we all perverts?
If I tell you that this is the result of this movie, or that the director deliberately did it, you probably won't have any doubts.
In short, it is the director who is glorifying a perverted ogre, thus putting the audience in the ogre's shoes.
The first is the image of elegance. I believe that the first impression that most viewers have of Hannibal is that he is elegant and well-educated;
Secondly, it is to weaken the tragedy committed by this ogre. For example, the crime of eating a nurse is confessed, and the oral narration of the corner of the doctor who makes the audience hate is passed lightly;
Also, in the midst of strategizing, the wisdom of winning thousands of miles away. Compared to the ogre's perverted behavior, I believe that what impressed many viewers more was this ogre's wise mind;
In the end, even the perverted and brutal murder has a sense of ritual, and with the elegant music, it has to be said that it has a sense of beauty.
To sum up, it is the beautiful things that are magnified and rendered, and the terrible things that are blurred and packaged, which makes the perverted ogre that finally appears in front of the camera very charming.
So, what's so strange about you and I being obsessed with this murderer? Don't you see Du Ying, a real ogre, who is obsessed with the beautified 'Hannibal'?
The question is, doesn't this fascination awaken would-be imitators and murderers?
Du Ying chose to emulate the hellish difficulty, but what if he chose to follow the easy one? For example, what about ritualistic killing?
So I solemnly appeal that this thriller movie should not be on the hall of elegance, at least, it should not have the current popularity......"
Good guy, the front seems to make a lot of sense, and the last sentence is a dagger.
Needless to say, this is a premeditated "blackout".
As for the reason, it is also very simple -
Because of the "Serial Killer Surrendered" incident and the spontaneous publicity of the media, on May 1, the first day of May Day, the attendance rate of "The Silence of the Lambs" in most movie theaters was nearly 100%.
As a result, the single-day box office of this movie soared to 88 million yuan, strongly pressing down a number of blockbusters and ranking first in the box office list, which is a normal thing.
You must know that a movie is classified as restrictive, and the box office is expected to be at least thirty percent lower, but this rule is completely untrue in this movie.
- This number, coupled with the popularity of the explosion and the pretty good reputation so far, means that as long as there are no major problems, it is likely that another movie with a domestic box office of more than one billion yuan will be born.
Who doesn't blush at this? Who doesn't expect a "big problem" from it?
For example, tempting people to commit crimes......
For a while, through Du Ying's "revealed tone", many media expressed their concerns about the film's inducement of crime - it is difficult to say whether they are really worried, or are they reminding potential imitators to "quickly imitate crimes" in a different tone......
Of course, Dunhuang also saw it, and had already made relevant plans, and was preparing to counterattack and set off a chaotic war of public opinion, when a news came from overseas-
The neighboring Northern Dynasty, which completed the preparation for the release as quickly as possible, also had a serial killer on the first day of the release of "The Silence of the Lambs", who surrendered after watching the movie!
This kind of "coincidence", which can hardly be said to be a coincidence, directly blew up the overseas media!
The domestic media also continue to blow up!
The most embarrassing thing is the critics who have just spoken out against the film.
A popular post online describes their sentiments well:
This movie glorifies criminals;
- You're right, but the serial killer turned himself in!
You are a film that tempts people to sin;
- You're right, but the serial killer turned himself in!
You don't have a correct view of right and wrong in this movie;
- You're right, but the serial killer turned himself in!
…… Your sister's, a serial killer, Mud Song Kai!
……
It took a day, uh, half a day to be exact, and it turned out to be just more than usual...... 1000 words? Ahh
