In mid-March, the hot topic movie "Hunting" was finally released in the United States. The film was originally planned to be released in August last year, but not long before its release, the famous film critic Chuan Jianguo tweeted to criticize the film: This group of self-proclaimed elites in Hollywood The people who made this film to incite and cause confusion are true racists and very harmful to our country!
Due to such pressure from public opinion, the producer Universal Pictures announced an emergency withdrawal, and it was delayed until March 13 this year. However, the film has not been released for a few days, and due to the epidemic, it has earned millions at the box office. It ended hastily. In view of the production cost of 14 million knives, the film can be said to be a fiasco in the market.
Now let's talk about this movie. At the beginning of the film, the American elites represented by Athena had an online group chat. Athena sent a message in a text message: There is nothing better than going to the manor to hunt those inferior people.
Soon after, the chat records were leaked, and some netizens found out that Athena bought a manor somewhere, which made the melon eaters more believe that the game of "manor hunting" by the elites is real. Everyone criticized Athena and other people online, and the elites were at the cusp of the storm for a while, and the capital group where Athena and others belonged could only be forced by public opinion to temporarily withdraw from their respective companies' business. This decision angered Athena. She and others began to collect those who exposed them on the Internet and abused them online, and selected 12 "keyboard warrior representatives" to participate in the hunting game.
However, our eldest heroine (codenamed Snowball) is not an ordinary person. Snowball relies on the excellent survival skills learned from serving in Afghanistan.
All the way to see through the various killing tricks set up by the elite team, and kill all the team members, fight to Athena's lair, and Athena is another love and kill.
The ending of the story is, of course, bigger breasts...Bah, of course we are smarter and better at fighting. The heroine wearing the third-level protagonist halo ended Athena, picked up Athena's equipment, and boarded the helicopter that was going to meet Athena. Escape from the Jedi and successfully eat chicken.
The plot is roughly the setting of such a cool film, why can it cause the dissatisfaction of the Jianguo comrades? The reason is that the film shows the class antagonism in America, that is, the mutual hostility between the elite and the general public.
As we all know, capitalist society is divided into classes. According to economic and sociological theory, about 20% of the elites in a country generally hold 80% of the wealth and power of the entire society. Elites are generally well-educated, enjoy more social resources, and have higher social status. They hold high-ranking government officials and executive positions in major companies in this country, as well as elites in other fields, such as scientists and artists. etc. Generally speaking, the development of the country is dominated by them, while the ordinary people, as the majority of the population, are more passively labored and led, and this basic class relationship is more prone to conflicts.
Going back to the movie, Athena and others used the discriminatory term "inferior" to describe ordinary people in their online chat. She thought "inferior" were stupid, lazy, ignorant and useless, and said that they " Living is a waste of time" and she thought she was superior
This is extremely unpolitically correct behavior. American elitism has always required the elites to abide by political correctness, that is to say: you are already high above, you enjoy much more resources than them, you should respect those who do not enjoy the same resources as you. This is the consensus of the elites. If someone does not follow it, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction from both sides at the same time, which will affect the economic and political balance between the two classes. This is why the board of directors requires these elites with black material to withdraw from them. Business.
The image of Athena can easily arouse the audience's prejudice against the elites and thus lead to mutual hostility between classes. This is what comrade Trump is worried and dissatisfied with. And the first title of the movie was called "Red and Blue States War". In the United States, the blue states represent the liberal elite, that is, the Democrats; the red states represent the Republicans represented by the working class, which is also Trump's political position, so The title and simile of the film are really inflammatory, and it's hard not to let Comrade Jianguo tweet cursing.
Since the development of human civilization, the contradictions between classes have not been completely eliminated, and the cycle of peace→struggle→peace between classes seems to be a historical inevitability. However, from a philosophical point of view, it is the identity and struggle of contradictions that complement each other and promote together, so that things can develop and history can progress. Bible.
In general, "Hunting" is a good-looking and cool film. The irony and ridicule in it. I believe that if you can get the point during the viewing process, you will also smile knowingly. As for the metaphor, you don't need to go into detail. The simple and smooth action scenes, as well as the heroine's face and figure, are enough to watch.
