Watching a good movie can't hide the excitement, creative angles and screenwriting, Al Pacino's superb acting skills, from the joy of getting a virtual character to keep the movie going, the ecstasy of creating the perfect idol for whatever you want, the secret joy of deceiving the public, to the ego Doubt, fear under the pressure of the public frenzy, collapse, to the point where Victor announces Simon's death, I can't help but feel sad, unbelievable desperation, give up. Every emotional point is captured no more or no less by the plot.
lie?
If a lie, illusion, opinion, trend becomes a trend, it no longer needs to be disguised, packaged, promoted, it will develop naturally, even stronger, and even drown the original creator. The false became true, and even had to be true, and the admission was denied, so much so that in the end the police and lawyers believed he was crazy. Simone's popularity was unexpected and unexpected by Victor. Her behavior as a pig could be liked by the audience. She said that smoking, fur, war, and drugs were all acceptable.
If influence becomes a trend
icon?
We can see the fat bald man who is obsessed with Simone, his questioning, his obsession, his anger, his pursuit, his remorse when he learned that Simone was dead, and the one who appeared outside Victor's car when he knew that Simone was not dead. In that scene, these are all real, only this idol is virtual. Is what we worship, what we admire, and our beliefs all a manufactured ideal, a manufactured illusion, a mirage created by creators, propagandists and believers?
If idols want to create ideas,
why can Simone become a trend?
Strength - She takes the advantages of the appearance of the stars, has the strength of a director, and naturally becomes a red star;
Mystery - never shows up, adding a sense of mystery to the top, and even people have to start making up her history , willing to pursue and pay;
The price—waiting for a long time and paying a lot to learn a little bit of news about her, in exchange for a rare on-screen interview with her, with a high focus;
suitable outbreak—continuous works appearing, timely various media exposures
exceed expectations— Pioneering a singing career, a virtual idol, natural strength is not bad
for art desperate - pig's performance (actually Victor wants to destroy her)
true - cigarettes, violence (Victor's intention to destroy)
incident - Simone dead? The power of grief that makes people start to explode
true and false?
The director may use the character's mouth to express the inspiration of the movie. The appearance of the idol in reality can be modified, the behavior can be packaged, and the event can be publicized. How much of the fake component is called fake, and how much of the real component is true. Is the behavior around fake things real, and is the feedback around fake behavior real? Who in reality doesn't have some grooming, acting, packaging for themselves? What is true and what is false?
At the end of the film, the wife and the woman encouraged Victor to create more characters. Simone said that he was going to enter the political arena. Simone went from being out of control
and seemed to be back in Victor's control. What about control? Entering politics? The story unfolds unpredictably... Where is the control, how will the Victors use the control in their hands, and where will the public power lead the trend? Is there a point where the direction can be controlled?
When you control the puppet doll, maybe the puppet doll is also controlling you.
Returning to the real
Victor never fell in love with the character he created like some scripts may have, he always knew it was an illusion, but indulged in the achievements that this illusion might bring him. Due to his own mistakes in writing a thank-you note, it did not bring the desired satisfaction. This was a turning point when he began to reflect and struggle. What if he asked Simone to say thank you?
He loves his real wife, daughter, who is his point of belonging and wants to be back with them. In the end, it was they who made the plot turn again.
These words are good:
"Our ability to fake has surpassed our ability to distinguish between true and false things"
"It's easier to deceive 100,000 people than to deceive one person"
"I try to convince the world that you exist, but I really do Yes, I want to prove my existence."
Victor was very nervous when his daughter was playing on the computer, afraid that her so-called friends were just in the chat room, and hoped that she would go out and make friends more. Computer folks are also surprised.
