When Britney became famous when she was young, she was confident in her control of life and career. In an interview with reporters, she said, "I do have control. You have to control what you do otherwise you get sucked in by people that are not necessary".
And what connects the whole film is the lost of control of Britney's life. It is shocking that an adult who can work and earn money does not even have the complete rights of the person and property stipulated by the constitution. What's more, this is a superstar who used to talk about the same on the stage. So regardless of whether the film is biased against the father's conservatorship or the bitter narrative after becoming famous, I believe that the sense of loss of control in Britney's life is real.
But if you want to ask why her life is so out of control, do you blame herself? Is her father to blame? Blame the American conservatorship system? Blame the ex-boyfriend and ex-husband? Blame the paparazzi? It seems to be neither. The reason why loss of control is suffocating is not only that the ultimate result is the loss of control over life, but that the entire process of loss of control is so uncontrollable. The formation of out-of-control is like a whirlpool. People trapped in it can only see that everything around them can't grasp it, but they can't find a single cause, can't find a culprit, and they can only follow the trend at their mercy.
In fact, since Britney walked out of town and came to Vanity Fair, her life was beyond her control. Britney herself also said that she seemed to be popular overnight, and she did not know why she became famous. "Little red depends on hard work, big red depends on fate", Britney Spears' big red and big purple was the dual choice of the pop music industry and social cultural psychology at that time. At that time, Britney thought she was in control of her life, but in fact she could only control her own stage set and dance moves. But how will her stage and work be conveyed to the audience? What kind of audience will it be conveyed to? Britney can't control everything beyond the square inch of the stage.
And the strength of Britney's original selection brought her not only the applause of flowers under the spotlight, but also the voyeuristic gaze, vicious scrutiny, unscrupulous criticism, and even ruthless consumption. The tabloids and paparazzi that entangled Britney Spears are also part of the popular industry, and are also products that cater to social psychology. The all-pervasive sneak shots of paparazzi, show producers mocking divorced women, reporters asking nasty questions, and even ordinary people reading celebrity news in tabloid newspapers are all capitalist like the big star Britney Spears they consume. Hit workers. Workers are often embarrassed to beat workers, but they do not feel that they are so wrong, because sometimes it is true that everyone is part of the involuntary whirlpool, and can only make choices that maximize self-interest and higher moral requirements. It can only be self-demand.
However, the most painful thing for Britney should be her rough road. Although I think that regardless of men and women, before choosing to enter a relationship with a person, the first question that should be considered is whether or not the person will hurt you if you can't talk to that person. However, if Britney is not in Vanity Fair, the damage done by her ex-boyfriend and ex-husband should be much less. The ex-boyfriend in the new single alluded to Britney’s derailment and hurt him. It’s no different from ordinary people who secretly say bad things about their ex to vent their anger after being dumped, except that both of them are attracting attention. Come spit the huge waves of the stars. Fighting with the ex-husband for the custody of the children is also a repertoire of divorced couples. Although ordinary people will be exhausted physically and mentally, the public's snooping and ridicule may really drive people crazy.
So at this time, even if someone proposed to supervise her and deprive her of complete personal and property rights, she was unable to resist. I think this is why. After watching the film, although I felt that the US regulatory system and the people around her who did not know why they wanted to supervise her were powerless to complain, I didn’t think they were the culprits of Britney’s pain. . Can Spears who got rid of her father and conservatorship be free? Can a star who can be used by Amazon to make a documentary that caused an uproar after disappearing can control his life?
I only hope that the industrial machinery of pop culture and the thousands of people behind it, who knowingly or unknowingly endow it with boundless mana, can know how to control their own power a little, and don't let the whirlpool of out-of-control form, even if it is this. It's not you who are holding her back this time.
After all, we see Xiao Tiantian as an icon, but she is a person.
