You and I are symbols constructed by media, but never forget that it is people who live behind the screen

In my heart, this is a masterpiece. It's been a long time since I saw it, maybe I don't remember clearly. Some fragments that I probably remember: Fragmented life, intrigue, drama theory, voyeurism.

The one I remember most clearly is the parade: the chaotic crowd, the noise, and no one can think rationally in the chaos, just like being pushed and rolled forward by the parade floats. And where is "before"? What is the direction? It doesn't matter anymore - everyone has no goals, and even spins around in place, even pretending to be a clown to make fun of others, the personal personality is crushed in the joy of public opinion, "the loudest is the truth".

Incisively and vividly ugly, echoing without thinking. So going to the back, from the strict restraint at the beginning, it turned into a sloppy corpse - a TV head, an assembly line of beautiful young girls walking together, looking like a person, the cameras in front of a row of wretched uncles were aimed at them, they Unconsciously lifts up his skirt...

This scene gave me a great psychological impact: the overflow of chaos and malice can overwhelm people's moral bottom line, turn holiness into desolation, and turn morality into ridicule. You and I both live in the space where the camera is constructed and interpreted. Some people perform on the other side of the screen, and some people reconstruct on the camera side. Those "television girls" who looked like people were finally presented under the critical lens, and only a fragmented display was captured——

Well, it fits prostitutes too.

You can only ask the young blood to be warm and have their own moral bottom line in the future to avoid being crushed by the noise.

You and I are both living in symbols, he and I are fragments of you and me, and she is fragmented, but it is not necessary to withdraw from the real living people and become malicious gatherings and ugly sprouting on the Internet.

Anonymous society, calling friends, forming parties for selfishness, "loud and reasonable", constantly nourishing malice and breaking boundaries.

Don't forget that you are alone behind the screen.
