Hollywood Road

When the shooting happened that day, three people were killed in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, including the red baseball caps. These were not the injured people. The shock and grief caused by the death were even more intense. The red baseball cap was a lonely person. It's not too much trouble, and the families of the other two deceased have never stopped.

Especially after getting support from the church.

After the television interview with Archbishop Marquez Costello was broadcast, many family members of the two deceased, with the support of the Catholic Diocese of South Central California, called a press conference.

They are the direct victims and the people most sympathized by the media. In many cases, sympathy is also a very powerful force.

These people stand in the position of the victims, and strongly urge relevant government departments and 20th Century Fox to take "Dark City" off the theaters, and call on the whole society to pay attention to the harm caused by film violence.

"Words cannot describe our grief. As a direct victim of the violence in Hollywood movies, we call on the whole society to pay attention to the increasingly violent trend of Hollywood movies."

The most talented performer among them, facing numerous reporters and camera shots, reciting the manuscripts prepared by Catholicism with great grief, "Before us, there were many victims. We hope that we will be the last of the violence in Hollywood movies. A group of victims! I hope someone can stand up to restrict violence and other excessive content in Hollywood movies!"

Soon, the appeals and demands of these people spread across the United States through the media.

This is not over yet. His Excellency the Archbishop Marquez Costello prepared quite adequately. Then a joint letter was exposed by Columbia TV. In the past, many victims of film-related cases such as the "The Matrix" shooting were exposed. The letter was co-mailed to the Washington authorities, asking 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 calling capabilities. Many of them like to intervene in hot events to show their sense of existence. In this regard, such as environmental protection organizations and Social security organizations are typical representatives.

After the joint letter was exposed, many social organizations, provoked 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 be gathered to restrict Hollywood movies and establish a more effective way for Hollywood movies. Censorship system.

"Hollywood has a problem with its self-censorship system."

Many leaders of Catholic civil organizations have also stepped forward, "We must help Hollywood films tide over the current difficulties."

No one expected that the Catholic Church had launched such a big public opinion offensive, especially the remarks of the victims, it is simply incomprehensible. After all, it is an indisputable fact that they had loved ones killed in Hollywood movies.

At the gate of Wave Manor, there are no longer just media reporters gathered. A large number of protesters flocked to Murphy’s house, especially some Catholic organizations in the Los Angeles area, which brought slogans such as liars, murderers and blasphemers to Murphy’s house. before.

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

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

He and "Dark City" are the primary targets of each other's attacks, 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 gets beaten and never fights back. In Gal Gadot's words, he is a bad guy who beats him and will pay back ten times.

"We take two countermeasures!"

During the meeting with Carla Fiss, Murphy said, "One is defense, which is mainly carried out by me; the other is offense, which is launched by the Fox-owned media."

After discussing some details with Carla Firth, Murphy updated his Twitter and Facebook at the same time, responding directly to the TV interview with Archbishop Marquez Costello.

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

"Hollywood movies have turned into heinous murderers in some people's mouths..."

Of course, Murphy will not just say that he is himself. It is only good for him to include the entire Hollywood movie. "But is this really the case?"

After a simple rebuttal, he also began to rebut with justification.

"Remember what the criminals demanded of the Prime Minister in "Black Mirror"? He kidnapped the British princess just to coerce the whole process of having **** with the pigs on the global live broadcast of the Prime Minister, and his extraordinary crimes are intertwined with the public's curiosity and indifferent onlookers. It is a performance art, and this absurd story shows to a large extent: the promotion of some malicious people has brought an excessively fierce public effect, which has spawned a certain sense of grandstanding and malicious crime seeking attention. "

"Single, independent films are not responsible, but under the catalysis of the mass media and social issues, the film-or the text in the film, inevitably becomes the target of tragedies... "

Archbishop Marquez Costello listed three major crimes for Hollywood movies. This approach will undoubtedly wipe out Hollywood. To a certain extent, this is also a good thing for Murphy and "The Dark City." Hollywood's major systems The studios will inevitably stand together and refute this view with a common standpoint.

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

Murphy's Twitter and Facebook are just a defense.

"Movies do not kill people. We love movies. We love the world it creates. Movies give people feelings in a unique way. As long as we are together to resist those stupid and extreme remarks, violent incidents cannot destroy people’s love and beliefs. No movies and art."

Just like Archbishop Marquez Costello, Murphy is also based on facts, expounding his views with justification and evidence.

"First of all, movies do not kill people. Of course, the history of human violence predates the history of movies. Movies are in an indistinguishable and ambiguous position in this massacre. It is a bit of a scapegoat for movies to pay for crimes."

"Actually, violence in movies is rarely considered to directly affect people. Richard Walter once said that when a violent movie goes on the market, there is less violence in society. What is a movie theater? The cinema is a stadium of emotions. In the stadium, we can have some physical conflicts. In the cinema, we can also experience spiritual conflicts. What's the problem?"

"Secondly, violence comes from people’s hearts. If it is said that "Dark City" and the magician caused the tragedy, it would be too exaggerated. The theme of "Dark City" is to accuse violence. What the murderer sees from the movie is crime and Killing. Different people's minds extract different things from the movie. They are individual people, and in a step-by-step choice, they put themselves in the position of criminals."

"Film is just a realistic presentation or artistic processing of the social state that exists in reality. Even if it is as pure as a virgin, and resolutely abandons all the links of violence, licentiousness, and crime, people can still learn about violence and crime from various angles. In reality, people truly The source of violence in the mind comes from imbalances, stress and educational issues in life."

"Finally, the tragedy reflects the problems of the entire era."

"After the tragedy, countless fans came forward to support Hollywood movies, and published the passionate declaration of'We love movies, we love the world it creates, and movies give people feelings in a unique way', "The Dark City" and The innocent encounters in other movies are vying to show that this magician's reality tragedy is caused by this era."

Subsequently, Murphy's Twitter and Facebook pages were reposted by a considerable number of media, and the media related to major Hollywood companies also endorsed Murphy and rebutted the archbishop.

"In Murphy Stanton's "Dark City", the symbol of criminals always carries a sense of anti-civilization and anti-system madness, and an extreme sense of disregard for themselves and no demands. After the magician burned the city to fire, Put your head out of the car window and laugh wildly. This is no longer a country, an army, or a political war, but an individual, strong, primitive, and rebellious. On the one hand, it questioned the order and the ruler, and on the other hand, I was also afraid and anxious. Spokesperson."

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

Facing the doubts in the society, Hollywood is not only refuting, it also has another attitude, which is to accept with an open mind and resolutely not change

That is to say, what kind of film can reflect the greatest market value, what kind of film Hollywood will make, maybe at this time period, Hollywood will make some restrictions on the content of the film, but from the general direction of the trend. In other words, the goal is still to create maximum profit.

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