When I saw this new film, my first reaction was that Curly Fu was actually... bald?
And it's not just him, many important characters in this film share the same trait - a worrying hairline
Turns out the movie is called Hair Loss... No, "Brexit: Unreasonable Battle"
Brexit, unreasonable?
In "Brexit: Unreasonable War", HBO's Brexit-focused film, Benny plays Dominic Cummings, chief director of Vote Leave, the official referendum campaign.
This is the first time Benny has unlocked the "hair loss" character, and the appearance is still somewhat similar to the real Cummings.
The Brexiteers, led by Cummings, dress casually and look nothing like politicians. There are only five leaders.
The routine of their meetings is as one of the Brexit delegates put it: it's like an underground activity
The way they obtained public opinion turned out to be street interviews?
Is this serious? !
Remainers subdivided British adults into seven different categories and analyzed what kind of people would vote for "Brexit"
And the Brexiteers are simply and rudely divided into three: those who vote for us, those who don’t vote for us, and I don’t know whether to vote for us or not.
It sounds okay, but it doesn't seem so professional
How did the Brexiteers, who seem to be made up of wild idiots, win the more mainstream Remainers?
The most fundamental reason is: very good use of big data
In such an era of big data, network data is indeed the king
Every day, billions of people continuously enter information into the database
Facebook can even know when you cheated, but the most frightening thing is that this kind of information is revealed by yourself like the Internet unknowingly
So, in this war, data is the invisible weapon, the key to victory
This referendum was more like an experiment by data companies using British democracy, but he succeeded
After the success of Brexit, the people are very happy, but they don't know that they are just guinea pigs doing data experiments
This also gives a heavy hammer to those who want to pursue absolute democracy
What everyone thinks of democracy is actually just a passive behavior guided by data manipulation
Data companies use algorithms to tailor propaganda information to voters and put a large number of advertisements. In this way, the potential voters reach 3 million, and the other camp does not know their existence at all.
The Brexiteers are "unreasonable", only keywords such as "350 million pounds" and "Turkey" are put into advertisements, subtly affecting people
Advertising applications are like this in consumer behavior. If the advertisement is good, people will think it is good and will consume it.
Applied in politics, advertising is also invincible. An exaggerated amount directly drives the votes of millions of viewers. Although in fact Brexit, the money will not be refunded.
But we found that the advertisements pushed accurately after big data analysis know me better than my mother!
Taking a step back, even if there is no data, if all the choices are put into the hands of the majority, will the results of the selection really be good?
Let's take a look at last year's referendum to create 101 selected combinations - Rocket Girls
From the point of view of strength alone, is there some unsuitable player mixed in?
After all, it is difficult for the audience to choose members from the perspective of professionally building a girl group. Everyone chooses what they like.
I choose Yang Chaoyue! She is beautiful! But she can't sing, it doesn't matter, she is beautiful! She can't dance either, that's okay, she's cute!
In the end, the most popular of this group is not their performance, but Yang Chaoyue's koi character (even Wang Sicong couldn't help but tease)
Let's think about it, she was so popular when she voted, was it because someone on Weibo was hyping her up?
"Brexit: Unreasonable War" reminds us that democracy for all can be manipulated
Data firm used public opinion to gamble and win
In fact, it is not the Remainers who lose, but the people.
With regard to Brexit, what will happen next?
The film freezes at the moment when the results of the referendum are announced, with the Remainers bowing their heads and leaving the EU cheering.
But the subsequent development of the story is that more than 4 million people launched a second referendum on leaving the European Union, but it was rejected.
This movie only partially shows the fact that data manipulates public elections, and reminds the public a little.
Under the instigation of the Internet, your choice is like an "unreasonable battle"
In reality, the movement is not over yet
On December 10, 2018, the European Court of Justice ruled that the UK can unilaterally revoke its decision to leave the EU.
We don't know what the UK's choice will be. In the end, the Chinese people still eat melons.
Politics is too deep, but the movie is still worth watching. It has a tight rhythm and a lot of information. The painting style is not serious and has a bit of British humor. Friends who are curious about Brexit may wish to watch it.
Finally, there is an interlude. The hair loss problem of British men is really worrying. It is time to put it on the movie schedule. There must be more people looking forward to "Hair Loss: The Battle for No Hair" than people looking forward to the follow-up of Brexit.
