In other paragraphs, singing and dancing are perfectly integrated into the story as a narrative method. Only when the Hungarian female prisoner was executed, a parallel editing was incorporated into a performance of disappearing magic that has nothing to do with the narrative.
The reporter's report on the verdict is like the host's string before the performance; the execution of the first female prisoner in Illinois is like a supreme enjoyment of sensory stimulation; the female prisoner walks into the execution field in despair like an actress ascending the high stage in anticipation; The dangling rope is the key prop of the show.
In the end, with the natural fall of the rope, the actor disappeared and the female prisoner was executed.
The audience at the performance site burst into warm applause, and the audience under the execution ground also saw the result they wanted and scattered.
For the public, even the deprivation of one's life is nothing more than a rare performance, an after-dinner talk, and a way to seek excitement.
In this era of entertainment to death, you and I are just a supporting role in other people's lives. No matter how much you steal the show, it will not be able to resist the loss of freshness and the shift of focus.
That's the essence of this movie.
