Chapter 1302: Shocked

This film review published by Nicholas in the "Los Angeles Times" occupies the entire page uncharacteristically, which is very abnormal for the "Los Angeles Times". Firstly, this is a comprehensive newspaper, not a professional media like the "Hollywood Reporter" and "Variety Show"; secondly, Nicholas is not a professional film critic, he is a reporter, although he often professional film critics, but more It was written as an industry professional, so the professionalism is not too strong.

But this time it is obviously not the case. Nicholas's film review not only added his analysis as a reporter, but was also professional and in-depth enough to analyze and analyze the entire "seven deadly sins" in conjunction with recent hot events. Such a novel perspective was fully supported by the "Los Angeles Times", giving a whole page of space, and at the same time sparked a series of heated discussions.

"The main character setting in the'Seven Deadly Sins' movie obviously has profound meaning and mystery!

Samose was unwilling to accept this case from the beginning, because the indifference of society made Samose feel tired, he chose to escape, but his indifference and hesitation made the whole case reveal the first darkness and its fear. It does not come from its cruelty, but from the torture of the heart and the torture of the society.

Therefore, in the whole process of investigating the case, Samose was in a position of self-reflection. Although the murderer’s actions were absolutely unacceptable and supported, Samose could not refute the murderer’s trial and redemption of society. . It is precisely because of this that Samose hates this society and the city even more, and at the same time it is more powerless.

Because he hoped to change this society, but so powerless, he eventually gave birth to martyrs like murderers to complete. On the one hand, Samose did not want the murderer to kill the innocent, and he tried his best to prevent all of this; but on the other hand, in the depths of his heart, Samose really hoped to change this social status quo. This contradictory conflict made him feel sad and peaceful. Miscellaneous, this also made him from a savior to a bystander, and he is also the person closest to the audience's perspective.

Mills is different. He is a fledgling police detective. He is full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm. These desires are to become famous, become famous overnight, and become famous. Hope that he has always been in a positive attitude, but he did not see the nature and gloom of society. What he hopes is not to rely on his own power to fight against the entire society, but to become a hero, emerge as a savior, and realize his self-worth.

Mills' unwavering commitment to justice is a glimmer of hope in the darkness of society. His persistence in justice, loyalty to love, and belief in life are the only shining light in the whole story. But this light is destined to not be able to save the movie, let alone save the society, because Mills’ starting point is not society, but self. His desire for fame and fortune is itself a part of the darkness of society, and he cannot get rid of the entanglement of the seven deadly sins. This makes him Not only the rescuer, but also the victim and the perpetrator.

The murderer undoubtedly embodies the core ideas of the entire movie. He is not only a social rebel, but also an extremist martyr, he is also a microcosm of social despair, and he is also an actor of social redemption.

The movie does not tell the ins and outs of the murderer and the background story, but the dialogue at the end of the story shows the murderer’s criticism of social indifference, rejection of social degeneration, and ridicule of society’s gloom. The murderer feels that this society has begun to decay. He felt dissatisfied with this situation, so he meticulously planned the martyrdom of the seven deadly sins and used his way to alert the world.

The murderer did not hide the pleasure and enjoyment of his killing, but he firmly believed that he was punishing those sins for God, using **** sins to make people clearly aware of the terrible and dirty seven deadly sins, and hope to be able to In this way, bring light to society again. In the eyes of the murderer himself, he is the savior; in the eyes of the victim, he is the perpetrator; in the eyes of Samosa, he is the martyr and the victim.

The positions of Samose, Mills, and the murderer are intertwined and conflicted with each other. This has become the biggest problem for us to think about in the film.

Both Samose and the murderer expressed dissatisfaction with the indifference of society. They are both representatives of negative emotions. The former chose to escape and the latter chose extremes. Both Samose and Mills believed that justice must be used to defeat evil. This is a positive emotion. Glorious, the former is calm and meticulous, the latter is brave and vigorous; the murderer and Mills are one of the seven deadly sins, the product of social indifference and cruelty, desire. Hope leads them to the end, but the former is a clear-conscious guide, and the latter is a muddled follower.

In addition, Neil Bozeman also elaborated a point of view in "Entertainment to Death". The emergence of new media has changed the way people perceive the world. This also determines that society is becoming more impetuous, indifferent, and more indifferent. It's getting colder and colder.

The three protagonists represent the three generations who have been influenced by different media. Samose grew up in a print media environment. He should have been born around the 1920s, when television was not popular in that era; and Mills was obviously a generation who grew up watching television; as for the murderer, he represented the prosperity of print media and television. The handover generation of the rise of the media. This can also be seen in the differences in the personalities of the three people.

Printed matter is composed of characters and images. When reading, it requires the brain to decode, memorize, respond, and summarize continuously. It is a typical thinking process. Samose is adhering to this logical, rigorous and profound way of thinking. Be good at discovering details, use clues to make logical inferences, and proceed to solve cases calmly and cautiously.

TV is a combination of light, shadow and sound. You don’t need to use your brain when watching TV. People can easily understand the popular language and vivid pictures on TV. This also makes Mills manic, impulsive, irritable, slippery, and full of swear words. Personality, when solving a crime, he turned over and over at the scene pictures, even if Samose gave him relevant books and materials, he was impatient.

The murderer has inherited these two advantages. He is calm and calm, but at the same time he is not lacking in flexibility; he has elaborate ideas, but at the same time he does not lack a grand view of the overall situation; he maintains the classics and retro style of classicism, but at the same time absorbs new life The advancement and innovation of contemporary cultural knowledge. Thus, the martyrdom of the seven deadly sins was born; therefore, the murderer played Samose and Mills between his hands.

It is this faint contradiction and entanglement that makes the movie more warm. Ambiguous, the meaning is more far-reaching.

In the movie, Mills and Samose are the judges, and the murderers are the judges with **** hands. But in fact, the murderer’s elegant and calm appearance and steady and calm words made Mills’ bloody, exaggerated and wanton performance and Samose’s lifeless and indecisive attitude pale, as if the murderer should be omniscient, omnipotent, calm and gentle. God, and Samose and Mills are ignorant, ignorant human beings.

The audience is like Samose. It is difficult for the audience to agree with Mills who represents justice, and it is also difficult for the audience to rebuke the murderer who represents evil. The roles are vague and in a trance, it seems that the murderer is the detainee, and Samose and Mills are the criminals, and God will ferry mankind to the other side of the atonement.

This is also the biggest question and reflection brought by the "Seven Deadly Sins" to all viewers!

The city in the movie is dark, damp, dirty, chaotic, with successive murders, indifferent and hurried residents, and the bitterly cold weather. It is a **** on earth.

The whole movie is showing to the world: human nature is degenerate, and the guilty will inevitably be punished. The development of society has become more and more rational and materialized, but at the same time it has become a shackle for people to restrain themselves. Money and commercial value have become a means of measuring all values, and the relationship between people has become because of interest. Increasingly indifferent. And the attitude of ‘Entertaining to Death’ has pushed all this to the pinnacle, so justice is no longer justice, morality is no longer moral, evil is no longer evil, cruelty is no longer cruel, there is only indifference or indifference.

The seven deadly sins are connected in the story, and the seven victims constitute the seven deadly sins and become the bell to alert the world. But in the story, there is an obvious ‘failure’. The angry representative survived at the end of the story. Does this mean that the murderer’s plan failed? I once suspected that this was the screenwriter’s loopholes and flaws, but after I calmed down and thought about it, I realized that survival of anger is the most thought-provoking finishing touch of the movie.

Anger, the existence of this emotion is to remind people who are numb because of indifference, they need to be angry at this society, they need to be angry at the society where money is supreme, entertainment to death, and they need to be angry at this society that has lost its vitality and has lost justice. anger. So, the last thing left is anger.

The identity represented by anger is the greatest mockery of the whole story and the whole society. When anger broke out completely at the end of the story, he proved the correctness of the murderer’s beliefs with his actions. He was pushed to the altar by his own emotions. All beliefs and persistence were destroyed, so when the anger erupted, his eyes were empty and withered like a walking dead, because the belief he pursued was shattered by his actions and proved at the same time. The belief that he has always resisted has also resulted in the martyrdom of his contempt object, and his meaning in life has been destroyed. This is the meaning of ‘unable to understand’ and ‘unable to deny’.

The survival of anger is the most tragic, deepest and most terrifying moment among the seven people who have been judged for the seven deadly sins.

This is a work full of despair. From the first second of the story, the gloomy and gloomy tone has laid the foundation for despair. It shows people the sin and indifference of the world, but it does not tell people how to avoid this. Deterioration of the situation. The murderers used the most extreme, cruel and **** way to fight against society and complete their martyrdom, but they left everyone with the biggest problem: what should they do?

The film did not give an answer, but it let everyone know: they can't catch it with one's hands, they need to resist, although they don't know how to resist.

It can be said that each character setting in the story has profound meaning, and the final trend of each character also has profound meaning. Samose, who represents every outsider, finally looked at the tragedy in front of him without saying a word. , Just whispered in a low voice,'This world is beautiful and worth fighting for. I only believe the last half sentence. The profound reflections and reverberations quietly sounded in the hearts of every audience and every outsider. "
