Subverting the traditional shooting method, the film has a large number of hand-held shots, after all, it is broadcast live on mobile phones, although the shooting is bumpy and looks a little tired... but it also creates a sense of tension.
Generally speaking, the plot is warm and pleasant, especially the second half~ But the most exciting place is when the first half is narrated~ Troubled streaking~ Chinese clothes and banknotes~ Everyone wants to continue, okay~ The story is not old-fashioned , people can't guess the development trend, this kind of reward mechanism at the beginning of the story not only stuck the heroine but also the audience.
The audience wants to see the heroine reap the love, and also wants to see the heroine and her friends torn apart like a palace fighting drama, but in the end, the heroine still understands the true meaning of love and friendship, and the audience will silently ask themselves, of course, behind the screen We are also introspecting...
There is a very interesting detail in the film, that is, during the final duel, the platform allows the audience to vote, and choose whether to watch the process of live streaming the duel to kill the heroine. We can see the results of the vote on the screen, and also You can see the professional background of the people who voted, some are office white-collar workers, some are students, and some are classmates of the heroine. You can see the intention of the director's arrangement by seeing this. People who are not necessarily highly educated and of high social status are all Good citizens with conscience. Especially the classmates of the heroine, under the appeal of the heroine's friends, some people resolutely chose to watch the live broadcast of killing the heroine... (It's really not a big deal to watch the excitement...) Maybe these people are simply eager for excitement and real life. The boredom has paralyzed his nerves, so he doesn't care whether it's about morality or not, and he just follows the pure desires in his heart. After all, there are mobile phone screens that can block their true faces...
New technologies, online games, virtual social networking, etc. What we think is new and exciting stimulates our nerves like drugs. We keep wanting more, but we dare not admit it boldly, so this is the live broadcast at the end of the film. Even if so many people participated, All came to the scene, but they all had to wear masks! Do you wear a mask when you go to a celebrity concert... Because they know deep down that this is against the bottom line of morality, but they can't bear the torment in their hearts, even if the heroine asks face to face at the duel scene, "Do you dare to show your face? You guys Only hide behind your IDs!" They showed a slight panic, then lost their eyes to the roaring crowd.
In Le Pen's "The Crowd", he wrote that the behavior of groups will show the characteristics of rejection of dissent, extremeization, emotionality and low IQ. The spectators in the film panicked when they finally saw the heroine fall. When the joke became too big and you couldn't take it anymore, you would rush to find an exit. At this time, the prompt on the mobile phone was for these rabble people. One step...their real names were exposed, they became accomplices in a crime, they were afraid, and they all retreated in a hurry, no one cared about the heroine's life or death, only concerned about their true colors. Being exposed, it is by taking advantage of this that the otaku fan of the heroine can successfully disintegrate this online platform.
Then at the end of everything, the story is settled and people quit the platform due to fear, relief or various reasons. In fact, the ending is a bit illusory. After all, it is impossible for you to ask the global netizens to uninstall WeChat, but the story is the story after all. …Will we eventually quit social networking platforms because we are fed up with cyber violence and the unreliability of virtual worlds? I hope that what we end up doing is not quitting, but changing... Maybe this is the way to go in the internet age
