As the most influential national newspaper on the West Coast, the "Los Angeles Times" has enough influence to shake half of the North American continent.
This article "Reading the "Seven Deadly Sins" from Hugo Lancaster" written by Nicholas easily shook the trend of public opinion in this American society. Leaving aside the self-reflection of the media in the past month and the verbal criticism of the "National Inquirer", Nicholas's perspective on the "seven deadly sins" is obviously different.
When most of the media came into contact with the movie "Seven Deadly Sins", they were just like Samosa in the movie. The first idea was to think of religion. What they saw was the religious issues hidden behind the movie. It is faith, sin, and the most atonement. The hidden core of this movie should be that the murderer judged himself as a God, and punished the seven deadly sins.
But Nicholas is not like that.
Nicholas almost avoids talking about the religious meaning of the "seven deadly sins". He believes that the film and the seven deadly sins are just a medium through which the director and screenwriter reflect social problems: the indifference of society creates the growth of the seven deadly sins, and In the face of social darkness, social decay, and social problems, people choose to protect themselves, arm themselves with indifference, and refuse to contribute to the change of society.
Just like the three characters in the movie, Samose chose to escape, Mills chose to resist, but the power was too weak or was swallowed, and the murderer used extreme methods to deter the entire society. But the problem is that it seems, as if, as if, probably, maybe, maybe... only the murderer succeeded.
Therefore, the "seven deadly sins" left an eternal question: We all know that this society is morbid and distorted, but what should we do? The movie gave a question mark in the story. The voice-over "This world is beautiful and worth fighting for. I only believe in the second half" is truly thought-provoking.
Nicholas's ingenious perspective unearthed the realistic meaning of the film, and also pushed the "seven deadly sins" to a whole new level, making this work divorced from simple murderous suspense works, and also divorced from simple religious works, and became a side. A mirror that reflects the cruel problems of social reality.
More coincidentally, the aftermath of the stormy Hugo incident in August has not disappeared, making everyone feel the bone-to-heart cold: even their most trusted uncrowned king has lost his blood, faith, and persistence. For the sake of commercial interests, they never compromised, entertained to death and penetrated into their bones. This is the fundamental reason why all the people and the whole society attack the news media.
If the single "Apologize ( is a mockery from glory to death, then the "seven deadly sins" are the flogging and torture from the hearts of every media practitioner. Samose in the movie actually represents the media practitioners. He is a law enforcement officer, but he is evading his inner thoughts of justice. He has tried hard, tried and fought, and now he has given up. He knows the darkness of this society. And decay, but he has no way to change. This is the status quo of media practitioners.
I have to say that Nicholas's perspective is sharp, which has pushed the controversy over the past month to a peak, and in a real sense, the Hugo incident has risen from the pure Hollywood entertainment industry to the level of social issues.
Just as the murderer in the "Seven Deadly Sins" movie tried to use the seven deadly sins to create a masterpiece to alert the world, this film review by Nicholas has quickly become a social alarm bell, causing an uproar across the entire North American continent. . This is a situation that Xinxian Film Company did not expect when it released the "Seven Deadly Sins".
September is a disaster for any movie. The new line film company originally wanted to use the appeal of Hugo, as well as the focus of the confrontation between Hugo and Brad, so that the sudden emergence of the "seven deadly sins" became the only topic of September, and then attracted all audiences into the cinema.
But now the whole situation has changed drastically.
A film review by the "Los Angeles Times" directly pushed the "seven deadly sins" to the top of the topic, completely detonating the in-depth discussions that had been going on for the past month and a half.
This issue of the "Los Angeles Times" set a new sales record since the 1990s. It sold 4.3 million copies in just 24 hours, and the subsequent sales still did not stop. Two more rounds of printing were added. After that, Nicholas's film review sold a total of 6.15 million copies in the United States!
This is not only the sales record of the Los Angeles Times, but also the sales record of all newspapers and magazines in the United States in the 1990s! Since the birth of TV, the sales of newspapers began to decline slowly in the 1980s. After entering the 1990s, newspapers with sales of 5 million are already very few, even the "Wall Street Journal" and the "New York Times". The average sales volume of top newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times is only around 4.5 million, and this data is falling exponentially after entering the 21st century. In 2014, Many newspapers sell less than half of what they were in the 1990s.
Therefore, the "Los Angeles Times" sold such an amazing sales in one fell swoop, making people clearly feel the shock of the entire North American continent.
Compared with the "Schindler's List" that caused an uproar at the beginning, the "Seven Deadly Sins" naturally cannot get the support of the Jews, and the propaganda offensive and social impact are also completely different. But the "Seven Deadly Sins" caused a wave of public opinion this time even surpassed the heat wave created by "Schindler's List" in the first place!
This is actually a long process, as Nicholas said in the article, from the beginning of the 1980s to the Rodney King incident and the Michael Jackson incident, this time and again represents a sensation in the United States, and even affects the world. , Which directly gave birth to the resistance action on August 5th, which challenged the authority of the Uncrowned King by the entire society.
If the previous turmoil only blurs the boundaries between media supervision, freedom of speech, professional ethics in pursuit of the truth, and social values of interest first, and entertainment to death began to erode the news media; then Nicholas used the "seven deadly sins" as a carrier to destroy the whole The incident has been pushed from the news media to the height of society as a whole: this is not just a problem of the uncrowned kings, the indifference and cruelty deep in the bones are social problems!
This time, almost no one can make exceptions. From journalists to lawyers to doctors, from entertainment to sports to politics, from the media to colleges to the workplace, all discussions started in a prairie fire and detonated in various places across the North American continent. The volcano triggered a terrifying blowout.
Driven by the "New York Times", "Wall Street Journal", "Washington Post" and other major newspapers, more than half of the people in the United States joined the heated discussion. The three major TV stations plus Fox TV, The main cooperative media of various state governments, mainstream radio stations in major cities, and six of the top ten newspapers in the United States have all participated in this craze.
Even Bill Clinton spent five minutes and three questions in the official press conference to comment on this topic; White House spokesperson Mike McCurry (.) was also forced to hold a special press conference. , To respond positively to the recent condemnation of the news media.
At this time, there is still more than a year before the presidential election next year, and the issues of media*, entertainment to death, and the supremacy of interests within the news industry have become important issues in this election.
When things have reached this point, they have completely derailed. It is no longer a simple Hugo problem, nor is it a simple "seven deadly sins" problem. This is a profound impact on education, economy, communication, entertainment, politics and other fields. social problem. This may be a situation that no one expected. Nicholas did not expect, Hugo did not expect, and Anthony, Colin and others who initiated all this did not expect it.
This is how history is, inadvertently branding a deep track, and seemingly accidental events are often inevitable.
Perhaps, when Hugo wanted to return Michael Jackson’s innocence and chose to stand up bravely, it has become a catalyst for today’s change; perhaps, as early as the Rodney King incident, Hugo expressed his own The indignation has already laid the groundwork for today's shock; of course, it is more likely that when Anthony created the Golden Globe incident, Hugo, who was ignorant and young, first experienced the power of the media, and the seeds were on that day. It's already planted.
The "seven deadly sins" under this wave stood on the cusp of the storm in an instant. The social problems reflected in this movie are neither fairy tales nor novels, but they happen to everyone. In real life, every detail and event inside are empathized by the audience. Samosa is a representative of the audience, not only a bystander of the story, but also a participant in the story. The confusion, confusion, and helplessness of Samosa are reflected in the hearts of every audience.
This film review by Nicholas almost created the most vigorous propaganda in film history for the "Seven Deadly Sins", and at the same time officially recorded the "Seven Deadly Sins" in the annals of history, becoming one of the most important works in the history of film. "Jaws", "Citizen Kane" and other works that have changed the history of film and changed the course of society stand in the same ranks.
This is what no one expected.
However, objectively speaking, Nicholas’s point of view is based on the core idea of the "seven deadly sins" film. He does not comment much on the film itself, and he did not even explicitly mention his own feelings about the film-although he The article clearly praised the movie.
So, apart from the social repercussions caused by the movie, is the "Seven Deadly Sins" a good work from a professional film perspective? This seems to be a topic that needs to be discussed further.
