Taking the live broadcast as a novel introduction, the focus is on the discussion of public violence. The highly controversial Internet proposition in the relaxed rhythm in the early part of the film could have become the profound content of "Live for Life" Depth, but unfortunately, the director is out of control like the protagonist in the latter part, so that the movie, like "The Hunger Games", is ultimately limited to a shallow pool of teenage films.

"Fate Live" is based on the popular online live broadcast. In this live broadcast game set up by the movie, players have to do everything they want to see according to the requirements of netizens, and they will get money if they accept and complete the task. Driven by interests, the heroine started a series of crazy things from kissing strangers to streaking cars, until the end completely out of control. The netizens hiding behind the screen became the controllers of this life-threatening game. Society's legal and moral values ​​vanished in the virtual online world.

Why do ordinary people living in a civilized age become a group of unscrupulous thugs on the Internet where their identities have been hidden? The highlight of the machine is unique, but Xiao He is also defeated by Xiao He. The film's taste of this issue is over, and the solution with a warm fairy tale ending has become the most unsuccessful part of this work. Perhaps it can only be said that in the face of the huge online public, the director and screenwriter have not yet been able to think of a more ingenious way to face this powerful enemy.

Aside from the fairy tale ending, "Live for Life" is actually a movie that can reflect the current network problems very well. In many real network platforms, some people live broadcast all kinds of self-abuse to gain highlights, and some people broadcast vulgar spoofs and funny people. A smile, even some young and beautiful women like movies live broadcast various pornographic content, just to win the rewards of fans. In today's virtual platform of the Internet, money has become a sharp sword that can cut through all bottom lines, then How far is this fabricated "life-defying live broadcast" in the movie from our reality?

In fact, if it weren't for the ineffectiveness of the finale, "Live for Life" could have been a more shocking work than similar movies such as "Battle Royale" and "The Hunger Games", because the former either required legal changes or The turbulence of the times is needed. These almost impossible situations make people laugh after watching them, but the performance of "Live for Life" in the present world only needs an APP and enough audiences. How can such cyber violence not make people Very thoughtful.
