This movie seems to be narrating a horror story based on desktop chat and live broadcast of murder, but the amount of information behind it is quite huge. I believe that everyone who watches this movie will have a chill down their backs and a feeling of terrified thinking! So let's talk about the specific points that this film touches that really scares us?

1. Privacy in the Internet age has long since disappeared.

I heard a story, my husband met a mistress in private on a business trip. Before returning home, he deleted all message records and phone records. He thought it was a seamless process. After he didn’t want to go home, a text message suddenly popped up: “China Mobile, welcome to XXX city. Come back next time..." The ending of the story can be imagined, it can be seen that in today's society, big data has long silently invaded everyone's life details and even privacy, and people seem to endure privacy with disapproval. Devour and occupy. Of course, most people may enjoy the convenience brought by the information revolution without caring about its negative effects, but this film triggers our reflection from this perspective, whenever privacy, big data and some unscrupulous public authorities cooperate with each other , collusion with each other, then do we still have room for resistance!

2. Everyone has persecution delusions

It is said that everyone has hidden fear and anxiety deep in their hearts, anxiety about the unknown, fear of danger, especially in a society where information is so transparent and immediate, all rebuke the public authority and the small people’s bottom-up cry It will arouse the sympathy and resonance of most people, I believe that everyone can feel the same! Based on the deep reason behind it, it is actually the delusion behind people’s fear and anxiety, the delusion of the real existence of various conspiracy theories, the delusion that personal suffering and misfortune must be based on some inevitable internal connection, and the delusion of dignitaries and dignitaries. Their nonsense and the interest chain of collusion between officials and businessmen erode our vested interests of the public!

3. How small people fight against public power

As mentioned before, the power of public power, as a small person, in order to survive in order to survive with a relatively high quality, we continue to work hard and accumulate continuously. Whether it is wealth or connections, it is an important driving force for small people to strive for it all their lives, but we We have heard too many cases: cover up, occupy, abuse, embezzle, privately occupy, harmonious... Here we don't have to worry about the origin and authenticity of things, we just need to imagine that when we are the protagonists of the story, we have spent our whole lives. Is this accumulation of wealth enough to resist or struggle? The answer is obviously no. We are like mosquitoes. We don’t know if we will be shot to death at the next stop, because we have absolutely no idea of ​​the chain of interests behind it. , interlocking, even as a bystander, you are unknowingly connected to the entire network, this is the dark web in the real sense! Real and inexplicable!
