Chapter 917 social focus

Bryant and Katie are the best representative examples. They hold their own opinions and refuse to give in, but it is extremely difficult to convince each other. As the evidence piles up, they become more and more confused. Before watching the movie, it seems No one can firmly refute the other party, but there is no way to insist that they are right.

However, this does not affect the continued heating up of the controversy. The “Today” debate is just the tip of the iceberg. This episode has received 7.6 million viewership ratings. It is a special program for the White House to declare war on Iraq; what is even more frightening is that at this time, more than 67 TV programs in the United States have chosen “Fury Road” as their topic, and more than 400 radio programs have chosen “Fury Road” as their topic. Not to mention the plethora of newspapers and magazines, even university professors, human rights groups, and sociologists have joined this discussion, expressing their views, trying to analyze the truth of “Fury Road”, and even more so. Trying to parse out the sexist scene behind the events of “Fury Road.”

There is no doubt that “Fury Road” has become the focus of attention of the entire American society.

More profound than the topic of whether “Fury Road” is masculinity or feminism itself, why is there such a debate? Has gender equality really been achieved? Has sexism really disappeared? Does patriarchy really discriminate against women? Is feminism really not radical? Are the differences between men and women really resolved? Has political correctness really eradicated the problem of discrimination? If that’s the case, what’s up with the homophobia sparked by “Brokeback Mountain” last year? What happened to the racial discrimination cases that have intensified in recent years? Against the backdrop of cultural integration, discrimination has become more and more serious. What’s going on?

Returning to “Fury Road”, is this movie a resurgence of Hollywood masculinity, or is feminism breaking the shackles of the film industry for the first time? Is this the progress of the times, or the regression of society? What kind of influence will this movie have?

All the debates can’t stop at all, just like dominoes, with a slight push, all the problems burst out, it seems that all the problems are just a movie, but it’s not just a movie.

As feminism joined the battle, the whole debate became more and more chaotic. Besides Gloria, another famous feminist, Germaine-Greer, even initiated the During the sit-in demonstration, she called on more than a hundred women. At 3:00 pm local time on Sunday in the United States, they collectively took off their shirts and underwear. Authoritarianism protested and refuted.

The sit-in demonstration lasted for three full hours, attracting more than 300 media flocking to the scene for interviews. During the conversation with the reporters, Jermaine spoke fiercely and almost fought, “So, all It’s the woman’s fault, just like in the past few centuries, men can’t find jobs, it’s because women have come out to work; men are too stressed, it’s because women don’t take care of them; men’s families are not perfect, so It’s because women don’t do housework well. Everything is because of women. Don’t men reflect on themselves? In the workplace, you can’t compete with women, isn’t it because you are stupid than women? The same life pressure , you broke down first, isn’t it because you are more motherly than women? The family is not perfect, are you sure it’s not because you are nostalgic for the prostitutes outside? Now, even if a movie uses a female character as the protagonist, it must be Blame it on women, and even cause such an exaggerated controversy! So, this is your so-called social progress? This is your so-called feminist victory? All women should revolve around men? Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Stupid! Sad! Despicable! ”

Jermaine has always been known for her sharp words and sharp views. Her radical views have also caused a lot of controversy, but obviously, this has not affected her style. Facing the huge team of reporters in front of her, “Look at you , look at yourselves, there are only three female reporters here, this is our current situation, how ironic!” With just one sentence, Jermaine managed to make all the reporters present blush, but she obviously hadn’t finished speaking , “Now, it’s just a movie where the heroine shows the same ability as the hero, and the men are fried? This is the real shame! You don’t even have the courage to accept that a woman has the same strength as a man Even in a movie, a fictional movie, in your eyes, women are your vassals, your reproductive machines! I think the most ridiculous thing is that you think you are the villain in the movie Right? You just regard women as machines for your own family! How similar, how similar! But you don’t know that this kind of yourself is the most ridiculous. You deny the existence value of women, which is tantamount to denying your own existence value! It makes you look like a group of stallions in heat, but they can’t find a way to vent, so they can only run wildly and roar in the wild mountains, no different from wild beasts.”

Jermaine’s point of view immediately sparked an unimaginable frenzy of discussion—this is the first time someone has linked masculinity with Undead Joe, but thinking about it carefully, it seems, seems, maybe, probably… a bit similar, and things suddenly It becomes interesting.

“Leaving aside whether the movie is feminist or not, men can’t wait to jump out just because of a movie, which in itself is the best proof of sexism!” Jermaine summed up herself loudly, her The point of view is slightly different from that of Gloria. Obviously, she is not interested in the movie itself, and she probably does not plan to watch it, but she has objections to the controversial topic itself. Just these words strongly condemn the “controversy” , pushing the entire discussion to a higher level, and everyone was in an uproar.

Things have begun to get out of control. It is not something that Lance or Chaos Pictures can control now, nor can it be controlled by Warner Bros. and Disney. The Hollywood reality reflected by the controversy caused by “Fury Road” is becoming a society. The topic has attracted everyone’s attention.

Even at the White House’s regular press conference, reporters couldn’t help but bring up the topic of “Fury Road”. However, the George Bush administration obviously does not want to respond to this for the time being. First, the problem is too difficult. Second, “Fury Road” is just a movie. After the official response, things really got serious, so The spokesperson just resisted back with an official response of political correctness, probably saying “we support women’s rights”, “sex discrimination is absolutely not tolerated”, “I haven’t watched the movie for the time being, so I have no right to speak”, trying to Keep disputes out of government.

But obviously they couldn’t do what they wanted, because things got bigger and bigger, like a snowball, and now it has triggered an avalanche, and no one can stop it with the power of nature.

Everyone is looking for the person involved in the incident, Lance.

So far, the reporters have not had time to interview Lance about his feelings. Charlie Sheen made an attack on the premiere of “Water Banshee” on Wednesday, and fermented on Thursday and Friday, but the matter was not serious at that time. Lance wasn’t brought up in question either; Lance arrived in Las Vegas for a promotion when things started to escalate on Saturday, but he declined interview requests, saying he needed to focus on the show, and then…then Lance Just disappeared, all phones turned off, all connections were cut off, and even Percy said he couldn’t be reached-of course, no one could tell how much Percy’s words were true or false.

Even Chaos Films and the crew of “Fury Road” were silent inside and out, not making conservative remarks, but refusing to speak out, as if they had decided to play it safe in the midst of this controversy. This kind of silence, in the eyes of outsiders, is a manifestation of “guilty heart”, and it adds fuel to the fire, making the controversy heated up to a higher level.

All the paparazzi in the entire North American continent are looking for Lance, and even ordinary residents are curious about the whereabouts of this focal man. The “San Francisco Chronicle” even put forward a theory, “Could it be that Lancelo ter Strelow following in Roman Polanski’s footsteps?”

At the beginning, Roman was accused of raping/raping an underage girl. Before the court pronounced the verdict, he fled the United States ~www.readmtl.com~ and is still wanted by the United States. The “San Francisco Chronicle” was obviously satirizing Lance for running away and acquiescing to guilt, but this remark was severely accused by public opinion. The behaviors of Lance and Roman were not of the same nature at all. This analogy is not only irresponsible, Moreover, there are suspicions of misleading the audience, which is really demeaning for an authoritative media.

Subsequently, Theodore – Strelo officially announced that it will sue the “San Francisco Chronicle” for defamation and insult.

Before receiving the lawyer’s letter, the “San Francisco Chronicle” published an apology letter under the pressure of public opinion, and the reporter who wrote the article, Brian Barlow, publicly apologized. However, whether Lance accepts the apology, there is no news yet – because he still has not appeared.

By the time the paparazzi discovered Lance, who was resting and adjusting in Palm Springs, it was already July 25th. In other words, the weekend box office for the third week of July in North America was already hot.

The precarious “Fury Road” seems to have been cut off, the menacing “Water Banshee” seems to be taking advantage of the situation, and the steady “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” seems to be reaping the benefits… This year’s summer box office trend is really full of suspense , There was no energy that could erupt in May and June, and all of them were concentrated in July when the volcano erupted, but when people saw the box office list, they collectively became dumb.
