This is an unpopular movie. It mainly tells the story of a host who launched a suicide reality show in order to increase the ratings. Later, some "cowardly" people backed away. The female colleague who once had a one-night stand (drinking and promiscuity) found out that she copied the surveillance video recording what he did and handed it over to the FBI, and the host was arrested.

In this era where entertainment is paramount, such a death-themed reality show has set off a storm of public opinion. In fact, the work has a very good idea. It satirizes the current impetuous society from a special angle. Although people know that their behavior is clumsy, they are forced to continue under various pressures. In the process, whether you resist or enjoy it, The result is the same disaster, the responsibility belongs to everyone! When death becomes a pastime, it is the selfishness and ugliness of human nature behind it.

The male protagonist was also a person with beautiful dreams and a kind person at first, but once the killing started, it was difficult or even impossible to stop. This film not only tells the story of each poor person being driven to a dead end, but also witnesses the process of a good person gradually turning into a bad person. Everyone said that there was no precursor to the male protagonist's collapse, but in fact there was. He has always said that he wants to do something meaningful and real, including his original intention of doing the show in the first place, and he really feels that he is meaningful. But after he became famous, he created the number one rating and gained both fame and fortune, and he couldn't stop. He had already discovered that the development of things was different from his original intention. He knew that this was not to make people respect life, let alone change the world. But he can't stop, he can only hint to himself and say to all the voices against him, what I do is meaningful, and kill the "coward" who will destroy this statement with his own hands, because he does not lose what he has gained Everything, he said his original intention and meaning, but he added the amount of money to increase the ratings and excitement again and again, and joined the campaign mechanism, and called those people the "contestants" he called strictly at the beginning.

The thing that cannot be tested by money and power is human nature. His sister knew that the human nature destroyed by money and power could not be saved by words. She used herself to make him face the fact that "watching a person's death does not make life meaningful", the male protagonist actually already knew , and he did wake up. He angrily said to the photographer to turn off the camera, "Look at what you are shooting, you beasts", maybe he is also saying to himself. The meaning of life should never be linked to money. Never use money to test humanity.

As for the person who committed suicide, let’s talk about the first one. She was raped by her family, her daughter was sexually assaulted, but she had no financial resources and could not be independent, so she could only choose to live on her own. In the end, she killed her husband and then participated in the show. Did you really help your daughter? No, it caused another kind of harm to the daughter, and she was just adding value to her vulnerability and escape.

The film selection is novel and the intention is firm, but the fly in the ointment is that the director lacks experience and the shooting is rather sloppy. If there is a strong director and a big-production film company, this will be a movie worthy of a score of 9 or more.
