After the biggest question in Nicholas's mind was answered, the shock in his heart could not be stopped for a long time. What he was shocked was not only Hugo's dedication and persistence for the "Seven Deadly Sins" work, but these dedication and persistence were interpreted by the media. Different meanings are distorted underneath, which has made the media reflections in recent times more and more ridiculous; it is also because of the profound meaning of the "seven deadly sins" reflected from Hugo.

To be sure, Hugo’s choice of the "Seven Deadly Sins" work itself has no direct connection with what has happened in recent months, and Andrew Kevin Walker was even less likely to foresee when he wrote the "Seven Deadly Sins" script. The entire press has undergone tremendous changes this year.

However, the social reality reflected in the "Seven Deadly Sins" movie and the experience that happened to Hugo in the past few months inadvertently echoed each other, and then burst into the stormy waves in his mind, which made Nicholas fall into After contemplation, the professional film review of the famous article "Reading the Seven Deadly Sins from Hugo Lancaster" by the "Los Angeles Times", which had a subsequent impact on the stormy sea, was born.

"Hugo Lancaster has once again become the focus of media attention. Although he has always been the focus, this time he has set off a long-planned revolution. The fate has caused the entire society to start self-examination.

Hugo's experience over the past few months clearly reflects the concept of'entertainment to death'. The concept of entertainment to death put forward by Neil Bozeman (.) actually refers to all public discourses in the real world appearing in an entertaining way and becoming a cultural spirit. All political, religious, news, sports, and education And business are willing to become vassals of entertainment.

In the writings of the Uncrowned King, no matter how cruel murder, how terrible earthquake, how absurd political scandal, they can all become the object of their profit, can also become the carrier of social entertainment, and even become the medium for people to talk and laugh after dinner, news Value only depends on how many laughs or boos it can bring-how much attention or discussion, failure has become a culture, and even sadness, pain, and death have become one of the factors in the value measurement system.

This is the case for Hugo. From the absence of the opening ceremony of the "Seven Deadly Sins" to the refusal of interviews during filming, to the second incident of the bizarre witch trial during the shooting of "Death Row", Hugo has been performing his life. For the duty of the actor, he showed a professional attitude, and even put himself in a dangerous situation for the movie. However, his professional attitude has become a vehicle for the media to ridicule entertainment and gain attention, and has become a typical case of entertainment to death.

This is the cruelty of society, and it is the sadness of society.

The entire morbid society takes entertainment to death to its extreme, and people commend the most superficial, stupid, mean, and ostentatious people. People don't know what morality is, they don't know how to be ashamed, and they don't know right or wrong. The darkest side of human nature is admired and praised. It doesn't matter if you lie or spread fear, because it is profitable!

When news media treats all public objects including Hugo as consumption objects in order to cater to the market economy and for the benefit of sales, and infringe upon the basic rights of public figures endlessly and without limit, the public is not surprised at all, on the contrary. It is also taken for granted,'because they are public figures'.

This society has begun to become distorted, why? It is obviously not so easy to discuss the social root cause of the birth of entertainment to death, but it is certain that people's indifference is bound to be one of many reasons. Began to become alienated because of busyness, become indifferent because of alienation, and become cold because of indifference.

People gave up the most primitive and classical means of communication, gave up the way of emotional communication with relatives and friends, gave up resistance and complaints to life, armed themselves with indifference to avoid harm, avoid trouble, and avoid showing fragility. . As a result, people began to base their happiness on the pain of others, talk about the misery of others to set off their own happiness, laugh at the stupidity of others to set off their own intelligence, and sympathize with others' misfortune to comfort their own happiness...

Against the background that society has gradually become indifferent, public figures have become not only objects of entertainment, but also objects of venting. People place all their anger, sadness, regret, bitterness, and pain on public figures.

What the Hugo incident reflects is not only the entertainment of the news media to death or profiteering, but also the indifference, cruelty and indifference of the news media. From Rodney King at the beginning, to Michael Jackson later, to Hugo recently, these'witches' created by the indifference and cruelty of society have been out of the scope of the news media, and have reflected The indifference and indifference of the whole society.

Behind entertainment to death, what we see is the beginning of social decay, and even the cold and **** social indifference, and all this is precisely the hotbed of the birth of the secret meaning of the "seven deadly sins". What the whole movie reflects is precisely the cold society that has been armed with indifference.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (...) once chanted, ‘God is dead’. From that moment on, our classical society was sentenced to an end, and society officially entered modernism. Under the rapid development of modern society, the distance between the world is gradually shrinking, but the distance between people has not been reduced. On the contrary, cold barriers have gradually been erected. Alienation and indifference have become the most accurate relationship between people. definition.

Behind the indifferent life, people gradually no longer care about those around them, no longer care about their loved ones, no longer care about social morality and justice, lack of communication and communication, lack of sustenance and support, lack of care and friendliness, and behind the indifference There is nowhere to vent the emptiness in people's hearts, so the gossip of the public figures and the wonderful, longing desire to become famous. Hope and the cruel and cold-blooded bite of the weak and the strong have become their greatest spiritual sustenance.

The so-called seven deadly sins are no longer the classical traditional definition, but have been labeled with modern labels. Everyone is walking on their own path to manage their own lives. Busyness and indifference make them lose their sense of life, so in the movie "Seven Deadly Sins" there are several understatement cases: Robbers want to grab some Change and a watch pierced a person's eyes; when a woman was assaulted, it was useless to call for help, but to call for fire; the landlord deceived the Mills and leased the house that was tortured by subway noise; and Another landlord regarded the victim who was tortured as the living dead as the best tenant, because he would regularly receive the rent in the mailbox.

Also in the real life of leaving the movie, Hugo, as an actor, devoted himself to the performance so as to put himself in the danger of mental illness. This has become a means of profit for the media and the focus of people after dinner. There is no sympathy, no care, no respect, but only indifferent talk and irrelevant ridicule.

This is undoubtedly the cruelest violence. It is this cold violence that gave birth to the seven deadly sins of modernization: arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, gluttony, greed, and licentiousness. want.

People abandon friendliness and choose indifferent arrogance; people abandon understanding and appreciation and choose jealousy and rage; people abandon health and the future and choose a momentary laziness and gluttony; people abandon morality and choose dirty The greed; people abandon the love of each other and choose short-term licentiousness. want.

It is these seven deadly sins that gave birth to this movie, a great horror and suspense work, and a warning record to alert the world.

As the murderer said, this is a work used to warn the world. Just like the murderer’s choice of crime, everything is properly arranged and full of metaphors, so it fits the classicism that runs counter to this modern world. He used food to hold the overeating fat man to death, use the bed to trap the lazy addict to death, punish the greedy lawyer to death with fairness, and enjoy licentiousness with pleasure props. The two sides of desire were scared to death, killed their own hope of survival with arrogance, and finally destroyed everything with out-of-control rage.

The murderer has a modern tool-a pistol. He could easily end every life, but he did not let the quick and short of modernization replace the lost elegant classicism. He taught a lesson for the brutal and cold modernity. A victim to reflect the seven deadly sins of modern times is the most direct and **** condemnation of social indifference and cruelty; but all the methods and methods are inspired by modern times, just as the movie says,'What we face It's daily life'.

Entertainment to death itself is one of the seven deadly sins It is arrogance, jealousy, rage, greed, and licentiousness. Desire... The seven deadly sins that breed under the indifference of modern society destroy the souls of countless people. The three protagonists in the movie are one of the victims. Hugo in real life is also one of the victims. Those who are indifferent and unconcerned who are hurt or even lost their lives are also among the victims.

Faced with the indifference and cruelty of society, Hugo chose his way to fight. The witch trial two years ago was thought-provoking. Michael Jackson’s grievances washed away in April this year proved Hugo’s correctness; last month’s “madness” 'The speech is silent, and the truth of the facts proves that Hugo's non-violent and uncooperative resistance is wise.

As the murderer in the ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ said, ‘If you want someone to listen to you, it’s not enough to pat him on the shoulder. You must shock him so that they can listen to you carefully’. The rebellion on August 5 shook the entire society, but it is still uncertain whether Hugo succeeded, and the society's reflection on entertainment to death continues; but what is certain is that in the movie, the murderer succeeded.

The story of the "Seven Deadly Sins" tells the three people, Samose, Mills, and the murderer, each using his own way to fight against the seven deadly sins of society, against the indifference and cruelty of society, which is exactly the core of the whole movie. Thoughts, the most deafening response! "
