Before the college entrance examination in 2018, there was a movie "Rage Behemoth". After watching it, I thought that almost science fiction movies from 2017 revolved around "genetic modification, weapons of war". In the past few years, the theme of science fiction movies was "Space Rescue", which was mainly dominated by the United States, such as "Moon", "Interstellar", "The Martian", "Space Traveler", etc., plus a Russian "Space Rescue". The main theme of sci-fi movies is a condensation of the problems facing real-world technology.
Following "Rage Behemoth", the subsequent movies about genes include "Jurassic World 2", "Venom", and "Spider-Man: Parallel Universe", which all reflect the double-sidedness of genetic improvement: forced improvement. On the one hand, innocent life becomes the focus, becomes powerful, and is exploited by egoism; on the other hand, it is a common threat to all living beings, including improved species. "Genetic modification" has become a national weapon of war. As early as many years ago, "Hulk" and "Captain America" explained the ambition of the United States to strengthen its supremacy, train super soldiers, and use "improved people" as weapons of war. When people's exploration of the outside world reaches a certain height, they begin to consider starting from themselves. As a result, China achieved the world's first human gene-edited baby in late 2018. Science fiction is also the creator's prediction of the development of the real world.
Take "Rage Monster" as an example, this is the creator's "negotiated" decoding position, which arouses the audience's in-depth exploration of genetic technology. It instills the most powerful hegemonic thinking of American genetic technology, but speculatively demonstrates the harm of this genetic improvement. After losing control, it becomes a playground for capital. Or think wickedly, Americans may want to fool the world not to make this attempt, citing various painful consequences, and then secretly develop. Recently, there is a very punk saying on the Internet that is "the flat earth theory". Many people suspect that the "circumference of the earth" is a conspiracy theory. During the Cold War in Sumy, Reagan developed a military competition and used false information to bring down the Soviet Union. However, when I decode it, I will further think about it with my understanding. Will this movie criticize the irresponsibility of the arms companies to the unarmed innocent people because of their interests; criticize capitalism? Further association, does the creator support the prohibition of privately owned firearms. Because this is the result of inflated selfish desires, when individuals gain power and technology, and lose control. Works of art are the creator's decoding of phenomena, encoded in a certain form of discourse, and then we perform secondary decoding. The information we receive has been subject to subjective color processing. Moreover, if the creator does not experience it himself, but perceives it through the data information, it is n times of encoding and decoding, but different encoders and decoders have different knowledge frameworks, and under different discourse systems, information the higher the degree of alienation.
This kind of large-scale visual science fiction film is originally a commercial film, entertaining the public. Is it necessary to understand this kind of mass entertainment? Different decoders have different ways of thinking. If it's "deceptive", I think this kind of mass entertainment is very necessary. There is a saying that makes sense: if everyone was interested in politics, the world would be a mess. Moreover, the current mass entertainment content management and control is very strict, which can play a very good educational function (knowledge, politics, etc.). The mass entertainment industry also has a negative effect on the economy, and has played a very good lubricating role in the maintenance of social relations.
The media is irreplaceable, and in the era dominated by electronic media, the popular entertainment culture with strong reproduction is the general trend. A slight "policy of ignorance of the people" is necessary for social stability, and it is difficult for everyone to pursue the truth. Mass entertainment has strong penetration and acceptance. If you grasp the boundaries of mass entertainment, it is easy to achieve your goals.
