Movies are also exploiting the weaknesses of human nature

"Revenge", "Game Night", "The Legend of Fang Zi"

Why are the three movies stacked together, because they happened to be watched together. And it's also not a blockbuster worthy of praise. It's all rough entertainment. Take the opportunity to discuss.

"Vengeance" is obviously a vent that is satisfied with the "bloody violence" within human beings (my understanding is that although human beings have entered the era of civilization, the bloody slaughter genes accumulated from the primitive era are still hidden in it. It is appropriate to vent through movies. , it is still possible; of course, if you are exposed to such movies too much, it is estimated that it will strengthen and stimulate the bloody genes). The story is very simple. A junior who tried to rise to the top found that his lover was just using himself as a plaything, and even in his heart, he was inferior to the buddy who was hunting with him. After being raped by her lover's buddies, her lover actually thought of killing her to silence her. She, who did not die, turned into an angel of vengeance and killed three men as prey. It's tense, exciting, and like a Jurassic Park movie, but faster-paced than Kill Bill.

Game Night is an old-fashioned "cause of chaos." To put it bluntly, this is also in line with a characteristic of human beings. I remember reading a novel a long time ago, to the effect that the protagonist feels that life is boring and keeps thinking about how to break it. Then disaster came, his life was torn apart, and then... so it's the same for this kind of story, anyway, the screenwriter is God, and he parachutes disaster and chaos into his characters. Then give them a hand at the right time. The key is "chaos", which is our natural boredom with a life that is so dull that we are so sure of what happens the next second.

"Fangzi Biography" is a transformation of obscenity. There is no shortage of stories in the world, but future generations always like to change stories according to their own intentions. Just as there are several Hamlets for several readers, so there are several revision intentions for several people. Of course, what the movie has to go is the intention of the vast majority of people. The vast majority of people are from the bottom. For the story of a talented and beautiful woman like "The Legend of Chunxiang", it has nothing to do with the vast majority of people. More of you will substitute, if I were Shen Menglong (the genius in the original story, similar to Zhang Sheng in "The Story of the West Chamber", the difference is that the male and female statuses are reversed), I will... And this substitution seems meaningless, So the screenwriter created another convenient, more direct and "real" way: Fangzi. Fang Zi is Shen Menglong's servant, and Chunxiang is a singing prostitute, so they are the right ones. And the reason why Shen Menglong turned back to find Chunxiang was just because he needed such a love story to boost his reputation, make his official fortune prosperous, and his career would rise. Therefore, most people are more satisfied when they see that Fang Zi has won the "heart" of Chunxiang and even the little servant next to Chunxiang by means of sincere and despicable means, while Shen Menglong just got someone.

Movies are also taking advantage of the weakness of human nature to satisfy the humble psychology of human beings. 18.5.16
