Because a dog is smarter than its tail.
If the tail were smarter, the tail would wag the dog.
The person is the dog's tail. There are two smart people in the film, one is Connie and the other is Stanley, but one is a dog and the other is a dog's tail.
The story takes place in the president's campaign team. In the 11 days before the election, the incumbent president, whose approval rating was far ahead, was in danger of losing the election because of the peach incident. Connie, known as the "trap master", appears, and his strategy is to create new news to overwhelm the peach time. He led the campaign team to secretly concoct the news that the United States was threatened by Albania, and found the famous producer Stanley, using the method of making movies to concoct unwarranted photos and video materials, and assembled a series of artists to compose inspirational songs, To write slogans and slogans to create a tense atmosphere of war in the country. Their approach worked, and the public no longer cared about the president's rosy news. Later, after the CIA investigated and found out, they moved the whole country with the story of a soldier who was left behind on the land, and the president once again used the rescue of the soldier to gain popular support.
In the process of making up and directing the whole story, Stanley played his outstanding production skills, and the seamless story can be called a grand and exciting movie. But in the end Coney had to send someone to kill him. Don't blame Connie, Connie is a good guy, a smart guy, he's not like Stanley, who is insatiable, breaking his original contract, and trying to get his reputation out of the facts after it's done. In his position to do his thing, not only means to do things conscientiously, just like Stanley played a huge role in the whole event as a producer, this sentence also means that no matter how good he is, he must be in his right place. If it plays a role in the above, overstepping the power will only lead to the loss of the original position, and even the same consequences as Stanley.
Another point to talk about is that the media can be directed. Such guidance is like in "House of Cards", where the government or key members of parliament directly provide news to the media, and use the news with the title of "inside information" to guide the media's focus. There are also techniques like in this film overriding the unwanted news with the bigger news. The description of this technique in the film I came across was in "Prison Break". When the information about the secret black hand group was about to be published in the newspapers, he said to his subordinates: Go make news and find some Arabs to blow up the Jewish factory. Anything is fine. We have seen many situations where the news is suppressed by each other. For example, Wang Feng can't make headlines. The interest of the media has led to the blindness of the public. A piece of news about the mining disaster has become a cold steamed bun before it has time to enter the level of people's reflection. Before Malaysia Airlines was implemented, people were attracted by the sinking incident in South Korea. Can we really calm down and think about it in the midst of complicated information? Being harassed by all kinds of news every day, how much can settle down after the heat wave passes?
In this film, we see the news being concocted. How familiar those pictures are: a little girl running out of the ruins, many stars sing songs in the recording studio, the coffins of the dead soldiers are solemnly carried by the soldiers and pass the sad eyes of the people... We don't know what we see Whether what you hear is true. Just like in "The Truman World", the protagonist never knew that he was living in a fictional world where everything that happened around him was arranged. So when people rely on media lenses, ink, and voice to understand what's going on in the world, just be skeptical, because the facts are far more exaggerated and vivid than you can imagine.
