"Catfish" incident and Han Han incident

The movie time came to 2014. The protagonist said that he couldn't believe that 8 years have passed since 2006. Yeah, I can't believe it either. After watching this film, I immediately thought of the 2010 "Catfish" documentary incident. The incident in which the 25-year-old young man mentioned in this film looked for his old friends from Facebook and then discovered that he was an Afghan veteran is very similar to the documentary "Catfish". "Catfish" is about 3 young people from New York. He fell in love with a netizen girl on Facebook. He loved this girl too much and wanted to meet her, but found out that all the girl’s information on Facebook was fake. All the mutually supportive photos, friends, group photos, and relationships are fabricated, from a normal Facebook story to an ups and downs anti-counterfeiting story. Since "Catfish" was first launched at the Sundance Film Festival, doubts about the film began. Many professionals believe that the director finds someone to arrange for the overly dramatic people in the play. The whole documentary is a pseudo-documentary similar to "The Witch." Blair. Later, it was said that the producer had come out and admitted that it was a fake, but some people said no. To this day, the repeated competition still has no results. And a documentary about anti-counterfeiting itself is fake, this is really a huge irony, and this kind of irony is precisely the characteristic of our millennial generation.
This is like the Han Han incident in China. Since his youth, Han Han has been in the Internet environment like a fish in the water, wandering among various discourses to fight sports wars. Three years have passed since he was questioned about fraud. Whether Han Han did fraud or not, there was still no result. Since Han Han was accused of fraud, Ting Han Han has been called "the only media in China that dares to tell the truth", the southern department. Including Southern Weekend, Southern Metropolis Daily, NetEase, The Beijing News, Caixin, and even celebrities such as Chen Danqing, he also said, "I don't care if Han Han's articles are written by him. Good articles are good." Han Han later published a new article. The third article immediately evoked resistance from the leftists, but Fang Zhouzi became a target of public criticism due to the resistance of the leftists. The liberals called him a villain who vilified the idol of freedom, and the leftists criticized him because of Han Han's support for him and the issue of genetic modification. He, and "Has Han Han ghostwriter"? Yes or no? Is genetic modification safe or not? Safe or unsafe? no result.
Just like at the end of the film, the old father-in-law said to the protagonist: "Why must it be black and white? The situation has changed and the values ​​have changed." Nowadays, "Catfish" has been reproduced by MTV into a messy, low-age reality show. And Han Han began to become a racing driver idol. According to recent reports, "People who like him are all people who like to watch his car."
It reminds me of old Mr. Tan Zhenlin's words: "I shouldn't have lived such an old age...". The world is always changing...
ps. This is not a qualified film review, because I have nothing to say about the film. Here are some opinions: The film does not properly describe the lives of young people. As millennials, we have our own confusion, pain and shackles. Rather than committing two crimes a day, as the movie says. The biggest problem for us in today's society is the value vacuum. Love, affection, family, and the country are all changing and redefining. The old patriarchal society collapses and no new values ​​are on top. The film has talked about this issue, but it is too simplistic to classify all this as "the era has changed." In fact, it is still too superficial and too formal to talk about the middle-age crisis from the perspective of middle-aged art middle-aged men. naomi watts performed well.
