human alienation

When watching movies, I like to gain some new knowledge and new ideas. Please point out the following puzzles.

I don't know much about politics, I can only watch the movie from the perspective of human nature.
The first half is the playful orchestral music that often appears in American movies. Shansi was forced to run away, and the shot on the uphill road was beautiful, with endless traffic on both sides. Luxurious private hospital in the home of influential bigwigs.
I am very happy to see a movie with this theme. Technology has brought great changes to people's lives, giving people more choices of interest, but has it also brought alienation to people? The film discusses this. A lifelong companion of the film, who only repeats the language and behavior on TV, seems to be an alienated person with only a young child's IQ, but is easily admired by the audience from the common people to the big names and the president. , which is ridiculous.
This person has no normal perception of the existence and death of human beings. Whether it is the death of the old man or Ben's funeral, he has shown a counterintuitive reaction.
Television has created a large number of couch potatoes, TV show addicts since its invention. Although TV viewers received a lot of information in a clear way, they lacked active thinking. "I like to watch", seeing Mr. Gardener who likes to mechanically press the remote control of the TV, makes people feel a sense of horror.
Please be more active and choose less passive reception. The closed operation of TV programs still has many disadvantages.

Being There quotes

  • [With other poor black seniors, watching Chance on TV]

    Louise: It's for sure a white man's world in America. Look here: I raised that boy since he was the size of a piss-ant. And I'll say right now, he never learned to read and write. No, sir. Had no brains at all. Was stuffed with rice pudding between th' ears. Shortchanged by the Lord, and dumb as a jackass. Look at him now! Yes, sir, all you've gotta be is white in America, to get whatever you want. Gobbledy-gook!
