Don't believe public opinion

After studying communication for 4 years, I don't believe in public opinion anymore. This film just repeats my existing concept: public opinion is in the hands of people who know how to manipulate public opinion. The more it spreads to the masses, the less important the truth is, and people are more willing to believe in explanations that suit their ability to understand, rather than the truth. It seems that the truth is more important than the truth.
There is a shadow theory in communication: what we see is only the shadow of facts. How similar this shadow is to the object that produces the shadow depends on the light. Who owns the light? Who holds public opinion?
Have you ever played a killing game? A skilled murderer can always kill inexperienced innocents. This is decided by democratic voting. Is the public an accomplice?
So, don't trust public opinion, even if it seems real.

    Hahaha! Idea is so good, it doesn't really matter what the ending is (the film producer who has been depressed for too long will die). I feel that Hoffman is very cool in this film...it should be called "Wag the dog's tail".
