The heroine played by Emma Roberts, because of her best friend's fierce general, accepted an online live broadcast adventure - an RPG game-style rushing game, the higher the challenge, the more fame and the higher the reward. . Well, it's still Schopenhauer's old saying, "The biggest weakness of a person is to care about how others see you."
Her first task was to kiss a strange man who looked like Ronaldo. The second task is to form a CP with this man to ride a motorcycle into the city and have fun. The third task is to change clothes live, well, the camera's field of view. In the process, the first villain sneaked and stole their clothes, and the CP group had a good time on the spot. At the same time, the depth of their feelings soared. Youthful psychedelic, electro-optical flint, and finally, after going through blindfolded driving and other life-threatening live broadcast challenges, this pair of CPs became the most popular Internet celebrities on the entire live broadcast platform. Tens of thousands of netizens sent flowers and money. All eyes.
However, this kind of beautiful CP ending is obviously not what everyone wants to see. What everyone wants to see is more unexpected excitement. So, the last task is served, kill the other party, the bonus is tens of millions. The biggest moral and value judgment of virtual live broadcast is in front of you. The judges are the accounts hidden behind the IP. They are good people, they are moral judges, and they are the judges of winning and losing. Cheering, shouting, bloody, brutal, like returning to the ancient Roman arena thousands of years ago.
Between life and death, Emma's childhood sweetheart's spare tire programmer boyfriend hacked the live broadcast platform, defused the crisis, and disintegrated the conspiracy of the "arena". This is the end of the story, and a messy nothingness appeared in awe after the live broadcast. As the old saying goes, carnival is the loneliness of a group of people, and loneliness is the carnival of one person.
The topic of this film is fashionable, and it has brought the most popular live broadcast platform to the forefront. And put the core elements of "The Hunger Games" and Truth or Dare into it, and set up players and watchers options. The former participates in the challenge to win money for recognition, and the latter pays money for the pleasure of peeping. The relationship of interests is extremely clear, the eyeball economy is very naked, and the human nature is cut into a crystal-clear section - the desire for expression, the desire to be recognized, the curiosity, the desire for money, jealousy, selfishness, etc. The dark matter of human nature is presented to you at a glance. before. Strong fishy smell.
As Foucault said, there are as many faces of inexhaustible madness as there are characters, ambitions, and inevitable hallucinations in this world.
As one of the four little actresses in Hollywood, Emma Roberts interprets this role very well. Different from the beautiful snake and scorpion in "American Horror Story", the image of a competitive high school girl is actually more difficult to grasp. This character has a sharp change in behavior. Behind each mission is the self-subversion again and again. From being conservative at the beginning, to kissing a stranger for the first time, the id overcomes the ego, and the other side is fully liberated. Finally, the turn of the story at the inflection point of the climax. All accurate, no leaks.
The only regret of this movie is that the ending of Emma Roberts' spare tire boyfriend has correct values almost all the way, silent support all the way, high IQ, visionary, courteous and thoughtful, hard-working, good-looking, and even rescued Emma in the end It was also him, and his ending was to continue to be a spare tire. It is simply unreasonable. In comparison, the other shortcomings and shortcomings of the film are simply not worth mentioning.
Finally, if you're a fan of teen genres like The Hunger Games, Twilight, and so on, definitely don't miss this movie, it has all the expected and unexpected elements you'd want to see, plus AI Large-scale nude shots of Mara Roberts. But if you are a programmer, don't watch this movie. You will be pissed off.
