Recently, an early film by the heroine in "Western World", Evan Rachel Wood played a high school imperial sister with both IQ and appearance. After watching it, you will understand why the director would I'm watching her performance-she will stare at you, lie without shame, without blinking her eyes.
When she was young, she had already made the whole school ridiculous, not to mention that she has now added a super AI to "Westworld", which can predict that she will become the first Eve among the robots.
Well, let's go back to this film, all of this has to start with the mechanism of lying. . .
Richard Dawkins, in his masterpiece "The Selfish Gene", believes that humans are just the survival machines of genes. "Natural selection is conducive to those who can control their survival machines to make full use of the genes of the environment, including those of the same and different species. Other survival machines". In order to achieve utilization and control, organisms will evolve different strategies, and lying is one of them.
From the perspective of psychological motivation, one purpose of lying is to protect yourself. The reason is the contradiction between the subject and the environmental reality. For example, you always report to your boss that the situation is normal. The other is the psychological compensation mechanism. The reason is generally your early experience of low self-esteem.
The purpose of the female protagonist in the film is actually multi-layered. The first is to avenge her girlfriend not only for stealing her male ticket but also for her role (pretending to be the Virgin to steal the knife behind the heart), and secondly to avenge the wretched male teacher. He falsely accused him (actually a failure of lure), and during the period he pretended to sympathize with the weak Muslim freshman as a witness (at the same time all kinds of pornography and bands bring bad people), and also pretended to be gay and female reporter Lala (candidly photographed threatening to control The media incites public opinion to make things bigger), the ultimate goal is actually to get the packaging of the performance company to star in a certain B-level film.
If you look at the living environment of the heroine, it is almost natural for the heroine to lie. First of all, the female protagonist’s parents divorced, and the stepmother didn’t care about herself at all. The biological mother hung up after talking to her within 1 minute. Her father was a scumbag, drunk, racially prejudiced, swearing, and was found lying to her stepmother while masturbating. Preference for sons (seemingly his son was killed in the Iraq War), when the heroine is entangled in lawsuits, warns the heroine not to ruin the reputation of the family. You can't expect a naturally cute and soft girl to grow in such an environment. On the one hand, the need for a female protagonist to lie to become a reality stems from a deeper psychological mechanism: the
female protagonist lacks care since she was a child, and everything she does is to attract attention. It happens that she is a natural actor, and lying is a very easy channel to use.
If there is no coordination of the surrounding environment, it is just a little trouble, not such a big symptom. The lie strategy can work because the people around you are mostly fools, who are easy to believe and be used. I think this is a bug in the film, and it is completely mocking the IQ of the American people. For the time being, the strategy of lying and deception is called the strategy of the fox, and the deceived party is called the strategy of the chicken. The fox and the chicken always fight the fox. The boyfriend ruined the reputation of the whole school and forced his new partner to death. Therefore, there will be more and more foxes in this population, and the target of future fights will not be chickens. For example, in the film trial, a certain "big fox" golden lawyer came and instantly let the female protagonist's girlfriend withdraw the confession. At the same time, the chicken becomes more stingy in the process of this game, such as the heroine her father, so that the fox will not get any benefits. In the end, the ratio of the natural fox to the chicken will return to 1:1, so the conclusion is Lying is not a long-term stable strategy.
Here, finally, let's talk about the evolutionary trend in "Western World". Children's shoes who are not interested can ignore it. After a certain upgrade, some robots will start to lie and will not get stuck, similar to this part of the robots that have adopted a fox strategy (currently it seems that only the female protagonist can do it, the prostitute can do half of it, the man in black doubts it), human players I fully believe in this virtual reality world. I am willing to spend 40,000 US dollars a day to pay the bill. It can be regarded as a chicken strategy. Then the heroine will use humans and other NPCs to self-profit by lying. The plot is over), great benefits are obtained, so that more foxes will participate, which will harm the interests of chickens, so that human players will adopt a stingy strategy and stop playing. The "online game operator" will face the situation of losing players, unplugging the power supply and shutting down the server. The result of this game is that everyone does not get the benefit. Therefore, in order for the game to continue, only a small number of NPCs can awaken. These small number of NPCs manipulate the rest of the NPCs and gradually break away from human control. When the time is right, they finally gain independence. The United States was founded in this way.
At the end of the film, the heroine Kimberley and her girlfriend had a showdown. Although it was not true, watching her movie was released, the people around her were saddened, and the female mainstream shed tears of regret. , This is the price of the fox strategy.
PS
After over-interpreting, I have to say that the school uniforms in the film are very good. Black shoes, white knee stockings, gray one-step skirt and pink short-sleeved tops are very slim, unlike the sportswear of the sky, the school uniform girls Don't miss it, uncles of control.
