How to think and do it are all different things. In many cases, what determines a person's position is not the head, but the position where the butt is sitting, such as Duke now.

It is impossible to say that movies cannot affect society. Just as the movie itself is deeply affected by the social environment, popular movies will in turn affect society.

At any time, movies should not give up the propaganda of mainstream values. These values ​​are irrelevant to ideology and have universal values. Movies should not become aspirin that paralyzes the audience's ignorance of reality, nor should they become formalin that keeps the dark and rotten dark side of the audience's heart fresh.

The most fascinating feature of the movie is that it can create a dreamy world for people, temporarily forget her own worries, and find her own happiness and satisfaction in the illusory world.

Of course, this happiness and satisfaction cannot be like James Holmes.

It would be too much to just let the movie pay for the real social phenomenon.

However, "The Dark Knight Rises" has suffered a significant impact in North America. After earning more than $90 million in revenue, it suffered a significant decline on Saturday due to the shooting. The attendance rate of many mainstream theaters was less than 50%, and the box office in a single day exceeded 30%, and the final closing of $62.67 million.

Many people have seen the hope of continuing to suppress, and continue to link "The Dark Knight Rises" with the shooting in Santa Monica Commercial Plaza through various channels.

"The reason why it makes people frighten is that you can feel the huge incitement brought by the movie. It arouses everyone's awareness of resistance to existing social rules. Audiences often start to expect the villain to kill Batman in the end. Batman has become the biggest obstacle to blocking social revolution. These villains have become heroes who destroy the state machine, causing people to follow suit."

This is pretty good. Some remarks are directed at Duke himself.

"Only a mad director like Duke Rosenberg can create a mad movie fan like James Holmes in this world!"

Some so-called well-informed people revealed to the media, "Duke Rosenberg is also saying in private. I don't know if it's the murderer or myself..."

The situation has become increasingly complicated, and some ethical organizations have even appeared in front of Warner Bros. The situation has not only protested, but also suggested that the federal government force the Dark Knight Rises to remove the Dark Knight Rises.

It is very difficult for these so-called organizations to actually accomplish anything, so no one can ignore their ability to destroy.

Faced with a lot of pressure, Duke's partner, Charles Rowan, the producer of "The Dark Knight Rises", had to say in an interview, "Even if this movie is suspended immediately, we can accept it. We should not talk about any interests now."

Of course this is just a talk. The lower-end episode of "The Dark Knight Rises" is unacceptable to both Duke and Warner Bros.

Moreover, those people not only target "The Dark Knight Rises", but also asked Duke to publicly apologize and reflect on his own filmmaking philosophy.

Some media also focused on the shooting of "The Matrix", believing that Duke's film caused crimes was not an isolated case, and he had to reflect deeply.

Since the incident, in addition to going to the University of California Medical School and issuing public statements, Duke has been silent and hopes that this silence will reduce the controversy in "The Dark Knight Rises", but now it seems that some people don't want to let him go easily.

Since silence cannot solve the problem, Duke doesn't mind making his own voice.

Early on Sunday morning, Duke personally updated his official account even if he shared it.

"In the history of world film, the case where audiences imitate movie characters commit crimes is not the first, nor will it be the last. In the face of such a tragedy, any criticism of just one movie is unfair and unreasonable. The existence of violence in the movie is understandable, because reality is not perfect."

Just as Duke said, in North American history, there are definitely many tragedies related to movies.

He picked up a piece of information collected by Tina Fei. There were numerous cases in it.

For example, the famous "Reagan shooting" in 1981.

In the past, in order to win her attention, John Hinckley, who was obsessed with the actress Judy Foster in "Taxi Driver", imitated the behavior of the protagonist Travis in the film, shot US President Ronald Reagan near the Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC. This caused Reagan to be shot in the chest and injured several entourage officials. It was just a so-called fair and just law. Before the banknotes waving by the father of John Hinckley's oil tycoon, John Hinckley was found to be seriously ill and murdered by the president was not established, and only sentenced to compulsory treatment.

In fact, the cases caused by the movie are not just the "Batman" series. There are websites that have compiled at least ten cinema events, including "The Godfather" and "Men: A Fight Against the Wave", etc. These events include audience boycotts, occasional conflicts, and even some events that have nothing to do with the movie itself.

"Colorful Rattlesnake", released in 1988, tells the story of Los Angeles police fighting street crimes and gangs. On the weekend when the film started, 13 young men from two gangs were arrested. The police believed that the 13 men were gang members and fought at the door of the theater where the upcoming "Colorful Rattlesnake" was released to block the normal screening of the film.

In addition, the famous gangster group "Guardian Angel" once posed a slogan "Colored Rattlesnake" killing children" during the film's release and "Don't release "Colored Rattlesnake" in Los Angeles". Police in Chicago, New York and Miami were on alert during the film's premiere.

In Long Island in the 1990s, during the screening of "The Godfather 3", members of the two gangs opened fire directly in the cinema. During this firefight, the gang members were not injured, and the audience sitting next to them were affected. Among them, a 15-year-old boy was beaten to death.

In the 1990s, several violent incidents occurred in theaters where "Boys in the Block" were released. A year old man was hit by a bullet and then died. A 15-year-old boy was assassinated on the premiere weekend, and many others were injured.

Entering the new century, such events have become more common. When the screening of "Men: Battle of the Wave" in a movie theater in Baltimore in 2005, two men stood up and took out their guns, asking all the audience to lie on the ground and fired a dead gun casually. An unlucky 62-year-old man died.

When "Rejuvenation" was screened in 2008, a movie fan kept cheering for the film, which made the people next to him very impatient. When the persuasion was fruitless, the latter decisively escaped from his pistol and shot at the former...

In fact, if you search on Google, you will find that the conflicts caused by movies are endless, and deaths and injuries occur from time to time.

Perhaps, watching movies that were originally leisure and entertainment will one day become "extreme pastime" that has been killed.

Of course, this is just a private complaint from Duke after reading the relevant information collected by Tina Fei and was complaining about Scarlett Johnson.

But there is a fact that cannot be ignored, and Duke cannot deny that after entering the new century, the casualties caused by movies are intensifying.

Why is the difference between clear reality and dreams in the past, but now it is beginning to become blurry, and there are even more and more people who are unable to distinguish between dreams and reality? To a certain extent, this is related to the new meaning world created by the Internet.

After the emergence of the Internet, the difference between reality and virtuality has become smaller and smaller; and the direction of technological production is to completely eliminate this difference.

In particular, movies use the Internet's promotional and marketing methods to pay great attention to interaction and participation, which can significantly increase the participants' sense of substitution, and accordingly, it will also bring some problems.

"What is a movie? Simply put, it is to create dreams."

After reading the information collected by Tina Fei, Duke continued to update his instant sharing.

"As some media say, should the movie pay for this shooting?"

"Imagine if there is no violent content in the movie, so clean that even the most conservatives cannot find out the problem, will the world become better because of this? No violence will occur anymore? Everyone will know if the answer is not told."

"But in this impossible imagination, what we can be sure of is how false and empty the human spiritual world will become. All artists and audiences will degenerate into dementia children, pretending to be in a simple and perfect dream world."

"Movies, like other arts, are deformations of reality and reflections. There are indeed many movies that exaggerate or advocate violence, but at the same time, there are also more movies that allow the audience to understand the seriousness of the problem of violence more deeply, and make people wary of it, reflecting on where violence comes from and where darkness is."

"This may not be the best era, but it is obviously not the worst era. What movies reflect is just a reality of chronic diseases. Our society is always flowing with positive and negative energy. An anti-social madman, even if he does not read any movies, comics, novels, games, or rock music, may become an indiscriminate butcher and thug."

"Of course we have reason to ask the film director, producer and film company to be more cautious and pay more attention when dealing with violent scenes, but 12 tragic tragedy orders such as life are something that the movie cannot buy or should not buy."

"In the real world, we don't need Batman, Superman, and Joker and Lex Luthor. We only need more soberness, deeper reflection, greater courage and warmer love for the world. Free choice and free will, rather than more filtering, protection and control, can guide us out of the shadow of the Santa Monica Commercial Plaza shooting and into a brighter world."

"May God and bless them, and may God be with all." (To be continued.)
