Hollywood Road

When the shooting happened that day, in front of the Chinese Grand Theater in Hollywood, three people, including the red baseball cap, were killed. These were not those who were injured. The shock and grief brought by the death were more intense. It wasn't too troublesome, and the family members of the other two deceased had never stopped.

Especially after getting support from the church.

The numerous families of the two dead, with the support of the Catholic Diocese of South Central California, called a news conference after Archbishop Márquez Costello's televised interview aired.

They are the direct victims and the ones who receive the most sympathy from the media, and sympathy is also a very powerful force in many cases.

From the standpoint of the victims, these people strongly demanded that relevant government departments and 20th Century Fox remove Dark City from theaters, and called on the whole society to pay attention to the harm caused by movie violence.

Words can't describe our grief at all. As direct victims of violence in Hollywood movies, we call on the whole society to pay attention to the increasingly violent trend of Hollywood movies.

Among them, the most gifted performer, in front of many reporters and cameras, recited the script prepared by the Catholic side with great grief, Before us, there were many victims. We hope that we are the last of Hollywood movie violence. A group of victims! Hope someone will stand up and limit the violence and other excessive content in Hollywood movies!

Soon, the calls and demands of these people spread throughout the United States through the media.

This is not over yet. His Excellency Archbishop Marquez Costello prepared quite well, and then a joint letter was exposed by Columbia Television. Many victims of film-related cases such as the Matrix shooting in the past, Jointly mailed this letter to the Washington authorities, requesting the government and social organizations to limit the violent trend of Hollywood movies and prevent more people from becoming victims.

In this land, non-governmental social organizations are not decorations. They often have strong organizational and appealing abilities. Many of them like to step in when encountering hot issues to show their sense of existence. In this regard, for example, environmental protection organizations and Social security organizations are typical representatives.

After the exposure of the joint letter, a considerable number of social organizations, instigated by religious forces, took to the streets of Los Angeles, Washington, and New York to protest against the violence of Hollywood movies, and demanded that social forces unite to restrict Hollywood movies and establish a more effective society for Hollywood movies. censorship system.

There's something wrong with self-censorship in Hollywood.

Many leaders of Catholic non-governmental organizations have also stepped forward, We must help Hollywood movies overcome the current difficulties.

No one expected that the Catholic Church would launch such a big public opinion offensive, especially the remarks of those victims, which are simply incomprehensible. After all, it is an indisputable fact that their relatives were killed because of Hollywood movies.

At the gate of Waves Manor, it was no longer just media reporters who gathered. A large number of protesters swarmed here, especially some Catholic organizations in the Los Angeles area, and even pulled slogans such as liars, murderers and blasphemers to Murphy's house. forward.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Catholic Church has launched a well-planned offensive aimed directly at Hollywood.

Murphy can see very clearly that the Catholic Church wants to restore the glory of the last century and show its right to speak by restricting Hollywood. After all, the situation of the Catholic Church in all parts of the world is not very good. It can be said that it is in line with the The needs of the development of the whole Catholic Church.

And he and Dark City are the first targets of the opponent's attack, and they may be overwhelmed by the public opinion offensive launched by the Catholic Church at any time.

But Murphy has never been a person who only takes beatings and doesn't fight back. In Gal Gadot's words, he is a villain who will pay back ten times when the opponent hits him.

We have two responses!

At the meeting with Kara Firth, Murphy said, One is defense, which is mainly carried out by me; the other is offense, which is launched by Fox's media.

After discussing some details with Kara Firth, Murphy also updated his Twitter and Facebook to respond directly to Archbishop Marquez Costello's TV interview.

Twitter and Facebook are channels where Murphy can speak freely without worrying about random changes by the media. On these two social platforms, he has more than 50 million fans and followers combined, and he doesn't have to worry about posting No one saw the sound.

Hollywood movies have become heinous murderers in some people's mouths...

Of course, Murphy wouldn't just say that it was him, it would only be beneficial for him to include the entire Hollywood movie, But is this really the case?

After a simple rebuttal, he also began to refute with reason.

Do you still remember what the criminals asked the Prime Minister in Black Mirror? He kidnapped the British princess just to threaten the whole world to broadcast the whole process of the Prime Minister having sex with pigs, and his extraordinary crimes intertwined with the curious and indifferent onlookers of the public. A performance art, this absurd story is expressed to a large extent: Some malicious people have brought excessive mass effect because of the fueling of some malicious people, which has given birth to a certain sense of grandstanding and attention-seeking malicious crimes.

Single and independent films have no responsibility, but under the catalysis of mass media and social problems, films—or the texts in films, inevitably become the targets of tragedies again and again...

Archbishop Marquez Costello listed three major crimes for Hollywood movies. This practice will undoubtedly wipe out Hollywood. To a certain extent, this is also a good thing for Murphy and Dark City. The studios are bound to stand together and take a common stand against this view.

When someone wants to touch the overall interests of Hollywood, the major Hollywood groups will naturally form an interest alliance.

Murphy's twitter and facebook were just a defensive move.

Movies don't kill people. We love movies. We love the world they create. Movies give people feelings in a unique way. As long as we stand together against those stupid and extreme remarks, violence will not destroy people's love and belief, destroy No movies and art.

Like Archbishop Márquez Costello, Murphy is also based on the facts and elaborates his views with reasons.

First of all, movies don't kill people. Of course, the history of human violence is far earlier than the history of movies. Movies occupy a difficult and ambiguous position in this massacre. To ask movies to pay for crimes is a bit like a scapegoat.

In fact, violence in movies is rarely considered to directly affect people. Richard Walter once said that in fact, whenever a violent movie is released, there will be less violence in society. What is a movie theater? ?The movie theater is the stadium of emotions. In the stadium, we can have some physical conflicts. In the movie theater, we can also experience spiritual conflicts. What’s the problem?”

Secondly, violence comes from people's hearts. It would be too exaggerated to say that Dark City and the magician caused the tragedy. The theme of Dark City is to blame violence. Killing. Different hearts extract different things from the movie, and individual people, in step-by-step choices, send themselves to the seat of criminals.

Movies only present or artistically process the social conditions that exist in reality. Even if they are as clean as virgins and resolutely reject all scenes of violence, obscenity, and crime, people can still learn about violence and crime from various angles. In reality, people really The sources of violence in the mind come from imbalances in life, stress and educational issues.

In the end, the tragedy reflects the problems of an entire era.

After the tragedy, countless movie fans stood up to support Hollywood movies and issued a passionate declaration of 'We love movies, we love the world it creates, movies give people feelings in their unique way', Dark City and The innocent encounters in other movies are competing to explain: this reality tragedy of the magician is caused by this era.

Subsequently, Murphy's Twitter and Facebook were reposted by quite a few media, and the media related to major Hollywood companies also agreed with Murphy and refuted the archbishop.

In Murphy Stanton's Dark City, the symbols of criminals always have a sense of anti-civilization and anti-system madness, as well as an extreme sense of disregard for oneself and no appeal. After the magician burns the city, Sticking your head out of the car window and laughing wildly, this is no longer a country, army or political war, but an individual, strong, primitive, and rebellious one. On the one hand, you question the order and rulers, and on the other hand, you are also afraid and anxious Spokesperson.

At the level of all Hollywood movies, the original intention of the assailant when the sequel of The Matrix was released is unknown, but the 29-year-old is still spitting at the prison guards, pretending to be crazy and asking about The Matrix At the end of the series, he has no regard for his crimes and life. His criminal temperament belongs to this era, and movies and culture are the reflection of notoriety. Now the Communist Party and the US government are also busy discussing gun laws Why only let the big screen pay, review and be responsible for the problem, every reality, legal system, education, injustice, and every public in this world and this era are closely related to and inseparable from the tragedy.

In the face of doubts from the society, Hollywood is not only refuting, but also has another attitude, which is to accept it with an open mind and never change it.

In other words, what kind of genre film can reflect the greatest market value, what kind of film Hollywood will make, maybe at this time period, Hollywood will impose some restrictions on the content of the production, but from the general trend In other words, the goal will still be to maximize profits.

Of course, these rebuttals are only defensive. If you want the opponent to restrain yourself, you must attack.
