It's a film that I want to watch again and analyze well (from a political point of view, not about film technique)
The film (in part) shows the terrifying power that technology can have - changing the political landscape. The general public is unaware that their ideas are being directed in a particular direction. Certain words are constantly being repeated, and certain ideas are gradually being rooted in some people's minds. A lie repeated 10,000 times becomes the truth. Small dots are infinitely magnified and repeated infinitely, and they become the object of people's indignation and the "fact" they believe in. The same is true for Taobao, Weibo, etc. algorithms, recommending things that meet your preferences, thus greatly limiting the scope of choice and thinking, and reducing diversity. In this case, everyone who is willing to be bound by it or who does not realize that he is bound is enjoying himself in the enclosure. It's ridiculous that these people think they own the whole world, but they're just frogs in the bottom of the well.
Compared with the deep-seated social problems in the UK that Brexit has revealed, it is one of the most alarming parts. Compared with this, politics seems to be something more superficial, a means of conspirators. At the symposium (?) organized by the Remain Party, people from the initial indifference to the final quarrel and roar revealed the real situation of part of the British lower class. Racial issues, life issues, immigration issues, personal wishes... Every society has chronic diseases and scars that cannot be easily opened. Usually, most people carefully turn a blind eye or deliberately avoid them. At this moment, everyone has to make (Probably) when it comes to the choice of vital interests, all care is thrown away, all the things that have been hidden are spread on the table, everyone tore their faces, denounce everything they think is their own, screaming desperately, It seems that the louder the voice, the more reasonable it is.
All societies with a past cannot abandon the past.
When Dom said I miss sleep, he couldn't help but think of the stolen sleep in "Macbeth", is there a metaphor here?
When the MP's death happened, I felt that Gove and Dom were both a little shocked. They didn't expect things to develop to this point, completely beyond their expectations. I think at that time they should have been doubtful and shaken about what they were doing. When Gove and Dom met in the pub, it can be said that the words are very real. He seems to be asking not only Dom, but also all Brits and all of us watching the movie. These are troubling and thought-provoking questions.
Gove said to Dom, you can't control it either. A prophecy. From the current point of view, the development of Brexit is not expected by anyone.
What's the voice Dom has been hearing?
At the end of the film, it is a little surprising to point out that among the Brexiters, not only AggregationIQ(?), but also Cambridge Analytica, which Dom chose, is included. It turns out that Big Data is the general trend. Later, it was said that Cambridge Analytica participated in the election of Donald Trump, which was unexpected and reasonable. It’s just that this can’t help but make people terrified: in such a leading democratic country, true popular election seems to be impossible, and voters are remotely controlled to make choices that meet the interests of certain politicians. If this continues, where will democracy go?
The story continues to unfold.
