Not enough fun.
And then I opened up about the life of David Gore.
I just downloaded it yesterday, and I just clicked on it and watched a short paragraph last night. It just so happened that Gore and the governor were debating the death penalty on TV. He used the quotes of Hitler and Gandhi to make the governor speechless, and instantly rose to the level of brain in my mind.
The plot is really well thought out. Gore's life was tied to the abolition of the death penalty. A videotape, divided into three sections and sent at different times, has successfully released the surprise and shock of the stacked layers, whether it is the reporter or the audience's cognition.
First, the reporter saw in the hotel that Constance was handcuffed behind his back, naked, with a sealed plastic bag covering his head, lying on the floor of the kitchen, struggling to die after running out of oxygen. The whole process didn't last long, but the immediate sensual stimulation, distortion, and brutality confirmed that I couldn't help shuddering.
Then the reporter found the master tape at W's house. In the full version of the video, Constance undressed himself, swallowed the key to the handcuffs, put on the plastic bag, duct tape the plastic bag, lay down, lay on his side, calm Take the last bit of oxygen in your life, suffocate, struggle, and die. If the trembling of the previous paragraph lies in the sensory stimulation and cruelty revealed in the picture, then the reason why this paragraph makes the audience stunned and deplore with the reporter is because a person dares to be so cruel to himself.
That's right, she has leukemia. She really can't last long. Using her own death and Gore's death to arouse thinking about the abolition of the death penalty sounds a little utilitarian and speculative (because Constance is dying anyway). But the surprising thing is two things. First, she chose, or at least agreed to, such a brutal method of suicide in order to look like murder. How lofty and important is the abolition of the death penalty, worthy of a woman handcuffing herself and dying naked and suffocated! Second, Gore chose, or at least agreed, to take advantage of his reputation and life to cooperate with C in exchange for a dash of sobriety for the rabble.
Before Gore was executed, ordinary people on TV condemned Gore and supported his execution; after he was executed, after the full version of the video was released, the sound of slaps in the face was really loud.
The last easter egg (let's call it the easter egg) is that Gore appeared beside C who was struggling to die, stroked her, and then looked deeply at the camera. Only then did we know that as early as fifteen years ago, he had already made up his mind to die.
Afterthoughts: 1. The reporter who conducted the investigation did not understand why Gore's lawyer did not want to do everything possible to exonerate him. Instead, he made a serious mistake during the lawsuit. In the middle of the film, Cowboy went to the lawyer's office, and at the end he arranged for Cowboy to fly to the office. Spain, it can be speculated that he is actually fully aware of the whole plan, and even the key person who helped Gore to complete the plan, supported Gore to die, so he did not fulfill the responsibility of exonerating.
2. In fact, in order to achieve their goals, Gale and constance do not need interviews and reports from reporters at all, so it can be said that the existence of reporters is only for Gore to receive 500,000 interview fees to compensate his ex-wife and son. Not interviewing is not important. In addition, the main role of the reporter is just to show the whole thing to the audience from one perspective.
