The killings that followed were closely linked to media coverage.
"My report came out on top, we adjusted the order so that it wouldn't be too abrupt, the show still owes a new title, you can't do everything by yourself.... Directly cut to the interview" Then the screen was full of fans, "Cool, Great, handsome, great American, manly..." Various magazine covers. It feels a bit like "Zodiac Killer", but it's actually a serial murderer, nothing to be praised, murder is murder (murder is murder), the difference from other murderers is that the media is brought in, and as a result, many It's absurd. Fans appeared, posing as the 12th house killer to surrender, and the editor started writing a book. Originally there was only one killer, but I don't know how many came out after the report.
The tragedy of the film's ending also stems from the media, "What do you have to say to the crowd gathered", "I have never been so happy", "Is there anything to say to those who support you", "The good drama is coming" , In fact, when the reporter asked these questions, what kind of answers did they want to get, and the live broadcasts after that were actually bullshit, so waht? The speech does not need logic, just infection, MJ jumped on the stage motionless, and the audience was already dizzy, the reason is In the same way, the words are just a foil, the riots have already begun to surge, starting from the smashing of the TV. "You think you are a human, I think you are an ape, not even a human ape, you are a media person" In the end, the mass shooting of the media people reached a climax that has not been seen for a long time. After a few flashing pictures, I believe that everyone did not look at it seriously. If you look carefully, you will find that...
"Wedding homicide", a man crying in court "MY DAD", press conference "people are...can we.." "A skating girl slipped into the game" "fire" "he pushing me...."
After reading it, I still don't understand what I wrote, please forgive my expressive ability (science students), after reading the book "Entertainment to Death", I guess you can understand what this movie expresses.
Entertainment is the attribute of media, just as profit-seeking is the nature of businessmen. In the movie, killing is mainly used to express this entertainment and its impact. The following quotes from the book:
On that magnificent "television" screen No matter how cruel the murder, how terrifying the earthquake, how ridiculous the political scandal, as long as the host gently says "Next", everything will disappear from people's minds.
Our culture is in the process of shifting from text-centric to image-centric.
Although TV shows many themes to the audience, it does not require us to use our brains. The purpose of watching TV is to be emotionally satisfied.
What people see and want to see is a moving picture-thousands of pictures, fleeting and dazzling, it is the nature of television itself that determines that it must abandon thought in favor of people's perception of vision. Pleasure needs to adapt to the development of the entertainment industry.
They care about impressing the audience, not giving the audience an opinion. And that's what TV excels at.
