I am very happy to tell you that the information age has brought people a setback of civilization. Humans don't use their brains to record what their eyes see, they use claw machines. Humans no longer think, do not reflect, but bite each other in their voices. I'll talk about this later -
first let's talk about the limitations of the cognitive dimension... It can be said that the male protagonist's cognitive dimension is still relatively limited in a few places, TV, radio... It seems that there are no more . When the male protagonist arrived at the company, he heard that people were talking about those boring jokes on TV broadcasts, but in fact he was forced to receive only this dimension because of himself. All he sees all day is American civilization in retrogress, where it doesn't look good, traditions are lost and hopeless. He complained a lot, and his language skills were very clear, but his colleagues thought it was boring and thought you were too preachy.
He was in a retrograde group, and he couldn't control his own retrogression.
He fell back to his original violent nature, and so there was this story.
This story satirizes that human civilization is a piece of shit, and it's shit from every angle. You can say that civilization is developing, but what you can see with your eyes is something boring and unscrupulous without good morals.
The title is very interesting, it's called god bless America. Why America? This is very interesting. I am not particularly aware of American history, but I think American culture is a multicultural exchange, a state of integration of multiple groups. And this kind of superposition of groups and groups, from the perspective of popular psychology, will lead to group performance tending to the mean, and this value is generally low. It is manifested in the low level of group intelligence, that is, entertainment programs look so stupid and willing. Crowds are easily excited, changeable and impatient, you can see so many angry youths on the web on TV... Crowds are prone to hints and credulity, look at the 2B brain-dead singer, those cheering for him, they really know what they are doing Is a god horse a god horse? It's all because others are like this~ The United States is a melting pot, and many places have the name of this melting pot, and there are these characteristics, they have a fast-paced cultural development, there are many people, there are rich people. The media can do whatever they want, they are greedy, they are not easy to satisfy, and some people still exclude people who are not in the melting pot, and they hate it when they see it.
If it is said that the ultimate development trend of human civilization is in the direction of the United States in the film, I really want to say fuck that!
This is really a contradiction. On the one hand, the United States has the highest technology in the world, and various researches are at the forefront, but the United States also gathers a large number of different people. The overall feeling of the United States is so brainless, with such a low laugh, haha, just like the people around you. Yep, that's right, like the 'mean'.
In fact, the cognitive dimensions that the average individual has access to are nothing more than those 'mean' performances. You think they're stupid, you laugh at them, and you're stupid too. It's just a very primitive and instinctive impulse.
And once people who deviate from the mean are likely to be excluded, they will be classified as neurotic, mental problems, abnormal. Everyone dares not think carefully about whether that person is really abnormal. In more cases, it is because others believe it is abnormal, and they believe it very much. The whole group thinks so.
People who deviate from the mean either completely detach from the group or fight. Great, this whole film is about this struggle. I think this struggle is very exciting, and the male lead is really unfortunate among misfortunes. Why can we encounter so many groups committing the second thing, so many things in our lives that we think of the second also appear like that. Or, our life is actually the same as in the film?
I think it's basically the same except for some misfortunes. Acting on TV, acting on the news, everything is like a show, the show is mentally retarded, and the entertainment program is for fun. The two arrogant chatter on the web has attracted many people's onlookers and group wars of words for several months. I really think it's too funny, but I'm also watching the fall.
Shenma is the diffusion of the concept of group, which is the group of this information age. Yes, you can see on Weibo that the two camps are very nonsensical but pretend to be civilized to pinch each other. It can also be seen that a 2 product used a long Weibo to express his attitude and was sought after and cheered by a bunch of people. Those cheering people, do they feel that their behavior is a little different from their usual self?
The kid in the film goes crazy over an iPhone, he really knows he needs an iPhone? Well, in Shanghai I believe people who use iPhones really don't know why they choose iPhones, isn't it because everyone else uses them? . The Baifumei child in the film yelled at his parents there, which was also the trigger for the male protagonist to start destroying groups other than himself. There are no good virtues. When a child can be so self-willed and his parents are indifferent, at least there is filial piety in Chinese culture, and its weight is unclear. Other cultures will not be without, but the male protagonist saw such a shocking scene. He chose not to escape, and resistance was the way.
In the information age or any age, the retrogression of the overall civilization will never stop, and this is something that cannot be resisted. This is the helplessness conveyed by God bless the United States.
If your cognitive dimension exceeds that of the male protagonist, and if you do have the detachment of being able to detach from the mainstream group and have few desires, then you must be able to find spiritual sustenance and confidence in this slow process~
