The entire short film has a tight rhythm and does not delay the line of sight at all, and the shooting technique from point to point is impressive. The British gentleman's feelings are also undoubtedly revealed in terms of humor. Politics and scandals are the themes the short film revolves around, but the most blatant scenes in the entire short film are nothing more than the Prime Minister's anguished expression and a fake finger from the princess during the live broadcast. Subtle but imaginative, it reminds me of the theory that "the sexiest part of a woman is not revealed, but hidden".
The short film is narrated from three perspectives, the first being the British Prime Minister and government officials.
The Prime Minister's reaction was amusing "Fucking internet!" when initially told the video had been shared by nearly 50,000 people. I don't know if many celebrities and public figures faced the same problem, whether they also cursed the sentence that was harmonized by the three asterisks. But in the same way, they chose the same method as the Prime Minister, denying the facts with high-sounding words on the surface, and using all means behind the scenes to stifle the source of the news. Investigators across the country use network algorithms to backtrack to find users who uploaded videos. Armed police assisted in surrounding the address of the suspected kidnappers, conducted real-world investigations, and tried their best to find the entrance, even though it was just a trap. The conscientious government officials even thought of using the film button green technology to find a random stand-in and change the face to the Prime Minister. But all to no avail. The tense atmosphere was interspersed with the conversation and quarrel between the Prime Minister's wife and the Prime Minister. She said "I know people, we love humiliation" and burst into tears. The prime minister's life seems to be shrouded in halo, power, money, top treatment. But everyone knows that things cannot be as simple and beautiful as they appear. It is not only the Prime Minister's dignity that is about to collapse, but also his family.
The second angle is UKN TV.
Only the frenzied reprints on the Internet are not enough to convince the public that TV stations are still the authority on official news. UKN did not report it immediately after it was confirmed, but carefully studied the wording of the news broadcast, and I have to say that it was very interesting to observe how people responded to the problem. UNK's final newscast only stated that the kidnappers had made bizarre demands directed at the Prime Minister. Later, the director used a lot of space to describe a female reporter's deal with a government worker for exclusive news. The temptation to drink coffee is not strong enough, so the nude photos may be more convincing. Whether a person's position is firm or not depends on whether the temptation is sufficient or not.
The third angle is the public response.
The climax of the short is a live broadcast of the Prime Minister, where the director uses a silent long shot to capture the expressions of the audience. Men and women, old people and children, open and close silent mouths, leaving only the lingering sound of sirens. The most ironic thing is that the kidnappers had long expected that there would be a crowded situation, and released the princess ahead of time. At 3:30, the princess staggered and walked on the bridge empty, and the sun was so dazzling that it was chilling. What is the imagination of ordinary people about the top of power? At this moment all curiosity is satisfied. Among the close-ups of various people, the kidnapper turned out to be the performance artist who seemed to be a carpenter or a worker. Thinking about it carefully, in fact, the kidnappers are all people. Under the gaze of these round eyes, the Prime Minister has no choice. I have to admit that seeing this kind of situation, more people are excited and worried. People are used to watching other people's things keep getting worse, maybe they are still smiling. At this time, a huge black mirror clearly reflected the dark side of human nature.
Watching this British drama is in the early winter of Dalian. The cold wind is not as direct as the hometown, and it can blow into your neck through the wool fibers even under the sun. I've been wondering, if this happened, would it end the same? I can't think of a definite answer. Educated in orthodoxy, we seem to have long forgotten the importance of imagination and the courage to challenge authority. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that such themes can be so eye-catching and thought-provoking. Now we are in the golden stage of life, which is the only way for our thoughts to mature. Some people say "there are many decades in life, but if that happens to be your eighteen to twenty-eight years, then he is your whole life". Very well said. In the past ten years, we have touched the hard society with soft tentacles, understood love and sorrow, and also recognized the darkness of human nature. I think I need strong spiritual support to fill my passion for the world, to accommodate her and adapt to her. You also need to pick up a black mirror all the time to show your desires and the lack of humanity. If you know it's going to be cold, you have to wear more clothes. It's not good if you catch a cold, right?
