Love and be loved

The concept of "love and being loved" was repeatedly downplayed in the United States in the 1980s and 1990s. From a deeper social and psychological analysis, Americans living in the information explosion are always in aphasia. They desperately desire love and understanding, but people are There was an inexplicable estrangement between people, so that society was filled with a sense of nerves, nihility, but persistent idleness. "Ace Specialist" uses television as clues and props, focusing on revealing the gradual changes in the relationship between Steve and Du Zhe, and packaging the serious themes of the film in a comedy way. The so-called black comedy, the most important part is black, and humor is just a means. The more intense people laugh, the thicker the cruelty in the black. Steve is a compromiser who accepts and is closed in his heart. He was deliberately portrayed as a typical American citizen. An ordinary face, a decent job, and a beautiful girlfriend. He silently accepts social changes, and both his home and his company have placed a darling of the times-a television. Because of the TV, he once again recovered the lost love, because of the TV, his boring and boring life can be entertained, and because of the TV, he and Du Zhe had an intersection. His heart is filled with the most common emotional anxiety in Americans at all times, but he is still incapable of making progress and numb compromise with this anxiety. Therefore, when Du Zhe tried to enter his life and get mutual friendship and feedback, Steve was at a loss. On the one hand, he had to immerse himself in real life and be beaten for his livelihood. On the other hand, television, that is, information. The age of transformation has smoothed his ability to feel love, understand love and feedback love. Du Zhe is a lonely man who is extremely paranoid but yearns for friendship. As the maintenance staff of the fourth station, he looks for love in the maintenance process again and again. Nonsense and even crazy, he seems to be able to separate his soul from his body and watch his every move like watching TV, but he can't say whether he knows himself too much or doesn't know himself too much. To a certain extent, he is a downright victim of the era. In this respect, it is similar to "Trumen's World". The difference is that Trumen is lucky, while Du Zhe can only fight the fire with moths. Test the truth of the TV plot in the usual self-dedication behavior, instead of jumping out of it. Du Zhe’s fanatical and even morbid friendship with Steve is actually just a lack of restraint, and the real hidden problem behind his behavior is that high-tech products stop people’s thinking and the lack of collisions between different ideas. As Haoxuli said: We will be destroyed by what we love. Du Zhe and Steve, both have lost the ability to release and accept love in the development of the media. Luo Ping is in Steve, and Steve is in Du Zhe. What hides in their true heart is the desire to love, to be loved, and to understand.
