My movie scares global audiences to tears

Chapter 374 Alienation and Deprivation of Rights 【Please subscribe! 】

"Recently, it seems that many netizens are very interested in the theoretical knowledge of horror movies!
But with all due respect, there is not much meaning in discussing theories, because sometimes, we understand a lot of truths, but still have a bad life... haha!just kidding!
But the truth is not rough, the theoretical knowledge is only useful to our film practitioners, it is meaningless to ordinary audiences, because for you, the only thing you need to care about is whether the movie is good or not, yes Bar?
I don't know why there are so many netizens who care about film theory, but since everyone has asked, I will simply chat with you.

First of all, I want to declare that theory does not mean everything, otherwise all good movies should be made by film theory teachers in various film and television schools, and there will be no such thing as professional directors.

And I personally don't like to apply theory, which will greatly restrict the creative inspiration, which is not a good thing.

Secondly, the so-called cave monster theory is not a universal theory that can summarize all horror stories. There are many reasons for human fear, and the fear of predators is not the only reason.

There are many reasons that can cause human beings to fear, such as the unknown, such as alienation, such as the deprivation of rights and so on.

I made this short film of "The Spoon Killer" just to show you a different example.

The spoon killer in the short film is not a monster villain, he can't even cause fatal damage to the hero.

But he is more frightening than many fierce and powerful villains, because what he brings to the male protagonist is more frightening damage than direct killing, that is, alienation and deprivation of rights.

The so-called alienation means being different from others, and its fear logic is being rejected by others or society.

Human beings are social animals. In the animal world, the target is social animals.

Animals that live in groups have collective attributes. Once they are separated from the group or are rejected, they will have a great sense of fear.

There are many reasons why a social animal is collectively rejected, such as infectious diseases, such as obvious physical signs, mental illness with violent tendencies, and so on.

These causes will cause the collective to suffer great losses, so the collective will reject the object that caused this phenomenon.

After being rejected by the collective, the target will also lose the collective attribute, which will cause great pressure on the specific target, and will also cause a strong sense of fear.

Let me give you an example. For example, once leprosy patients appeared in ancient times, they would be expelled from villages and towns and other settlements, and left to fend for themselves.

As for the lepers who were expelled, their collective attributes have disappeared, and they are no longer regarded as human beings, but as catastrophes such as scourges.

As for them, after being expelled, they will obviously have unspeakable fear, and that fear will even drive them to understand themselves.

It was a fear that was greater than the threat of death, it was the destruction of the personality.

Just like in "Resident Evil", people's fear of zombies is the same. People are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that they will not live in peace after death and become monsters like zombies.

That is also a kind of destruction of personality.

This method of expulsion due to alienation is somewhat similar to the deprivation of rights, but the deprivation of rights will be more subdivided.

Take "The Spoon Killer" as an example. Why can't Brother Shao kill the hero, but still make people feel gross?

Because he deprived the male lead of his rights.

He deprived the hero of the right to eat, sleep, and live as a normal person.

Among the feedback from everyone in the comment area, the one that was mentioned the most, and that frightened everyone the most, was the scene where the chainsaw sawed the lower body. Some netizens said that they felt phantom pain after seeing it.

Why is this scene the hardest for everyone to accept?
Because in this scene, the male protagonist's reproductive rights were deprived.

So, have you seen anything?

In fact, whether it is alienation, deprivation of rights, or cave monster theory, their core logic has not changed, and it is still the fear of death.

To be expelled from the collective, to become a savage, is to die more easily than to live in the collective. This is the fear of death.

Being unable to eat and sleep will also lead to death, which is still the fear of death.

Reproductive rights are deprived, genes cannot be continued, which is also the fear of death.

It's just that alienation and disenfranchisement are slow deaths, not as immediate as cave monsters.

All monsters are direct and deadly.

For example, great white sharks, such as dinosaurs, such as sea monsters, they are powerful enough, they can kill a person directly, and let you experience the fear of death in an instant.

But alienation and deprivation of rights will not kill you directly, but will make you lose hope of life little by little in despair, and eventually die.

Which way of dying is scarier?I think it's the latter.

When hope is dashed over and over again, when you are swallowed up by a sense of hopelessness, and finally find that death is a relief, that feeling is the greatest fear.

But these are just theories, and how to express it depends on how the creator creates.

"Spoon Massacre" can be made into a comedy or a horror film, depending on the director's ideas.

For you, theoretical knowledge is not of much use, as long as the movie is good, isn't it all right?
Let's talk so much!This video itself is just for entertainment, as long as everyone is happy, I also hope that everyone will be calm and spend every day happily, the above. "

After Song Qi's post was posted, it quickly aroused enthusiastic responses from fans, who all commented below.

"It's me, Brother Qi! What kind of cave monster theory is it? It's all scum! A guy who hides his head and shows his tail wants to use this to attack me, Brother Qi? You can't control yourself!"

"Eh? I just realized what Brother Qi said, right! Don't we ordinary audiences care about whether the movie is good or not? Why do so many trolls on the Internet insist on talking about movie theory? They really want to talk about movie theory , or have ulterior motives?"

"Educated! Alienation and disenfranchisement summed it up so well! During my depression period, everyone thought I was crazy. It felt really hopeless. It really didn't feel like a person anymore. .”

"Can the trolls understand it? Oh, I forgot, you should be sailors, and if you understand it, you will pretend not to understand it."

There are a lot of messages in the comment area, and the questioning remarks have not disappeared, but they have become extremely pale and powerless.

In the face of such a highly professional point of view, they have no way to refute it, and can only repeat the previous questioning point of view.

"No matter how nicely you say it, it's just irrational words. Are you capable of making a "Spoon Massacre" movie? Prove your theory is correct, and then teach me!"

But such provocative remarks could no longer arouse the emotions of Song Qi's fans, and only met with ridicule.

But Song Qi also responded to this: "I don't like to repeat myself, and needless to say, I am constantly developing new themes, trying new structures and theories.

It just so happens that I am preparing to shoot a new sci-fi horror movie, which uses the theory I mentioned. If you are interested, you are welcome to watch it then. "
