Chapter 724

At the time of the shooting, three people, including the red baseball cap, were killed in front of the Chinese Grand Theater in Hollywood. This was not the injured. The shock and grief brought by the death was more intense. The red baseball cap was a lonely family, but it was not too troublesome. The families of the other two dead never stopped.

Especially with the support of the church.

After the TV interview of Archbishop Marcos Costello, many families of the two dead, with the support of the Catholic Diocese of central and South California, called a press conference.

They are the direct victims and the people most sympathized with by the media. In many cases, sympathy is a very powerful force.

Standing in the position of victims, these people strongly urged the relevant government departments and 20th century fox to take "dark city" off the line from the cinema, and called on the whole society to pay attention to the harm of film violence.

"Words can't describe our grief at all. As the direct victims of Hollywood movie violence, we call on the whole society to pay attention to the increasingly violent trend of Hollywood movies."

Among them, the most gifted performers, in the face of numerous reporters and cameras, recited the manuscript prepared by the Catholic side with great grief, "before us, there were many victims. We hope we are the last victims of Hollywood film violence! I hope someone can come forward to restrict the violence and other excessive content in Hollywood movies! "

Soon, these people's appeals and demands spread to the United States through the media.

That's not the end. The Archbishop of Marquez Costello prepared quite well. Then a joint letter was exposed by Columbia TV. Many victims of film related cases in the past, such as the matrix shooting case, sent this letter to the Washington authorities, asking the government and social organizations to limit the violence of Hollywood films We should strengthen the trend to prevent more people from becoming victims.

In this land, non-governmental social organizations are not furnishings. They often have strong organizational ability and appeal ability. Many of them like to take part in hot events to show their sense of existence. For example, environmental protection organizations and social security organizations are typical representatives.

After the joint letter was exposed, quite a number of social organizations, provoked by religious forces, took to the streets of Los Angeles, Washington and New York one after another to protest against the violence of Hollywood films, demanding that social forces gather together to restrict Hollywood films and establish a more effective censorship system for Hollywood films.

"There's something wrong with Hollywood's self censorship system."

Many leaders of Catholic non-governmental organizations have come forward one after another, "we have to help Hollywood films tide over the current difficulties."

No one expected that the Catholic Church should launch such a big public opinion offensive, especially the comments of the victims. It is simply impossible to understand. After all, it is an indisputable fact that they once had relatives who were killed because of Hollywood movies.

At the gate of wave manor, not only media reporters gathered, but a large number of protestors swarmed in, especially some Catholic organizations in Los Angeles. They even pulled slogans such as swindlers, murderers and blasphemers to Murphy's house.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Catholic Church launched a well planned offensive, targeting Hollywood.

Murphy saw very clearly that the Catholic Church wanted to restore the glory of the last century by limiting Hollywood to show its right to speak. After all, the situation of the Catholic Church in all parts of the world is not very good, which can also be said to meet the needs of the development of the whole Catholic Church.

And he and "the city of darkness" are the primary targets of each other's attack, which may be submerged by the public opinion offensive launched by Catholicism at any time.

But Murphy has never been a person who can only be beaten but not fight back. In Gail gado's words, he is a villain who will be paid back ten times if he is beaten.

"We have two responses!"

In the meeting with Carla Firth, Murphy said, "first, defense, mainly me; second, attack, launched by Fox's media."

After discussing some details with Carla Firth, Murphy also updated her twitter and Facebook to respond directly to a TV interview with Archbishop Marcos Costello.

Twitter and Facebook are channels where Murphy can speak freely without worrying about the media's random changes. On these two social platforms, he has more than 50 million fans and followers, and he doesn't have to worry about the voice that no one sees.

"Hollywood movies have become heinous killers in some people's mouths..."

Of course, Murphy doesn't just say that it's himself. It's only good for him to circle the whole Hollywood movie, "but is that really the case?"

After a simple refutation, he also began to refute with good reasons.

"Remember the demands of the prime minister from the criminals in black mirror? He kidnapped the British Princess just to coerce the whole process of the prime minister's making love to the pig live all over the world, and his extraordinary crime and public curiosity and indifferent onlookers interweave into a performance art. This absurd story shows to a great extent that the push wave of some malicious people has brought about an excessive and fierce public effect, and has given birth to a certain sense of uproar Favoring and seeking attention to malicious crime. ""Independent and independent films have no responsibility, but under the catalysis of mass media and social problems, films, or the texts in films, inevitably become the targets of tragedies."

Archbishop Marcos Costello has listed three major crimes for Hollywood movies, which will undoubtedly wipe out Hollywood. To some extent, it is also a good thing for Murphy and "dark city". Hollywood studios will certainly stand together to refute this view.

When someone wants to touch the overall interests of Hollywood, Hollywood groups will naturally form an interest alliance.

Murphy's Twitter and Facebook are just a defense.

"Movies don't kill people. We love movies. We love the world they create. Movies give people feelings in a unique way. As long as we are together to resist those stupid and extreme remarks, violence will not destroy people's love and faith, nor film and art. "

Just like the Archbishop of Marquez Costello, Murphy also expounded his views on the basis of facts.

"First of all, movies don't kill people. Of course, the history of human violence is much earlier than that of movies. Movies are in a difficult and ambiguous position in this massacre. It's a bit of scapegoat to ask movies to pay for crimes."

"In fact, violence in movies is rarely considered to have a direct impact on people. Richard Walter once said that when a violent movie comes on the market, there is less violence in society. What is a cinema? Cinema is the stadium of emotion. In the stadium, we can have some physical conflicts. In the cinema, we can also experience some mental conflicts. What's the problem? "

"Secondly, violence comes from people's heart. It would be exaggerating to say that" dark city "and the magician caused the tragedy. The theme of" dark city "is to blame violence, and the murderer sees crime and killing in the film. What different people extract from the film is not the same. It is an individual who, in the step-by-step choice, puts himself in the position of a criminal. "

"The film is just a true presentation or artistic processing of the social state existing in reality. Even if it is pure as a virgin and resolutely abandons all the bridge sections of violence, obscenity and crime, people can still learn about violence and crime from various angles. In reality, the real source of violence in people's hearts comes from the imbalance, pressure and education problems in life. "

"In the end, the tragedy sets off the problems of the whole era."

"After the tragedy, countless fans came out to support Hollywood movies and issued a hot-blooded manifesto that" we love movies, we love the world they create, and movies give people feelings in their unique ways. "The innocent experiences of the city of darkness and other movies vie to show that the real tragedy of the magician is caused by this era."

Later, Murphy's Twitter and Facebook were reprinted by quite a number of media, and the media related to major Hollywood companies also agreed with Murphy and refuted the archbishop.

"In Murphy Stanton's city of darkness, the symbol of criminals always carries a sense of anti civilization and anti system madness, and the extreme sense of ignoring oneself and having no demands. After the magician torches the city, he stretches his head out of the window and laughs wildly. This is no longer a country, army or political war, but an individual, strong, primitive, rebellious, one On the one hand, they question the order and the rulers, on the other hand, they are the spokesmen of fear and anxiety. "

"At the level of all Hollywood movies, the original intention of the assailant when the sequel of the matrix was released is not known, but at the age of 29, he still spits at the prison guards and plays a fool to listen to the ending of the matrix series. He despises his crime and life. His criminal temperament belongs to this era, and the film and culture are different Now Obama and the U.S. government are busy discussing the issue of gun law. Why only let the big screen pay the bill, review and be responsible? Every reality, legal system, education, injustice and every public in this world and era are closely related to the tragedy. "

In the face of social doubts, Hollywood is not only refuting, but also has another attitude, that is, to accept with an open mind and never change it.

in other words, what kind of films can reflect the greatest market value, Hollywood will make what kind of films. Maybe in this period of time, Hollywood will make some restrictions on the production content, but go from the general direction Generally speaking, it will still aim at creating maximum profits.

Of course, these retorts are just defensive. If you want the opponent to be restrained, you have to attack.
