Chapter 52 Who dies first?

There is a game called "Murder Game", in which everyone here plays the role of a policeman, a killer, and a good citizen. After dark, the killer kills, while the others reason to solve the case and eliminate the killer.After playing this game a few times, I no longer want to participate, because it is a game of revealing inner secrets. Whoever is killed, who testifies, and who testifies is clearly expressing his true views on others, although the way of expressing That twists and turns and is obscure, and looks like a game. Therefore, people often get into disputes because of playing "killing games". The fake killings eventually become real killings, and the fake murders shed real blood. It's not because they can't stand being killed in the game, but because they can't stand other people's true views of themselves: You are weak, unimportant, obnoxious, and deserve to die first and often.

Whoever dies, whoever dies first, has never been random, orderly, and strictly hierarchical.Horror movies are the best embodiment of this law. They seem to be killing indiscriminately, but there is a strict order.Take "House of Wax Museum", a remake of the film from the 1950s, as an example. Six youths who went out were murdered by perverts in this order: A young man with a blurred face and a mediocre personality was the first to die. , he is of no help to the plot, he is a natural "superfluous person"; the young man B died next, he was a bit sissy, and his sexuality was suspicious; the black young man C died third, he made a fuss in order to watch the football game After breaking away from the team, she often made out with the young white woman D in public. The one who died with him was the young white woman D. She had a bold personality and fell in love with a black man. Without a word, D, as a white man, obtained the small benefit of struggling and running away for a moment before dying; the twin siblings E and F escaped safely at the end, and the elder brother E was a little rebellious. He is extremely handsome, and takes good care of his younger sister, while younger sister F has a pure personality, and works hard while studying.

Horror films such as "Friday the 13th", "Moonlight Panic", "A Nightmare on Elm Street", "Scream", "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and other horror films all determine their roles in a similar order of life and death.When the characters in the play broke away from the team and went to the garage to have sex, their death knell sounded. When the characters in the play refused the invitation of friends to prom or drug party and went to study in silence, she had already obtained immortality. qualifications.This standard sometimes changes slightly, but the fundamental orientation is the same. In "Invasion of Darkness", the female explorers who lie and disturb the morale of the army die first, and the women with children escape from the sky last. In the "Inn" series, Arrange for the ugly men and women to die first.

who died?Who dies first?Misbehavior, lack of team spirit, substandard sexuality, hurt, lack of character, bad looks, and people of color, single men and women.In a thriller, they must die, and die first. The last ones to survive are the top ten young people who are well-behaved, emotionally dedicated, and eager to learn, and they must be white. If there is a couple, and both of them are white good young people, the man will sacrifice to save the woman, and the child will not die. , Those who have children are also equivalent to obtaining the Longevity Talisman.Don't horror movies have morals and class?In horror movies, there are the most naked moral and hierarchical views.All the horror films are actually the "Alarm Bells Ringing" column that Sister Niu loves in "Stories from the Editorial Department".

There are occasional exceptions. In the first episode of "Inn", the non-white man escaped, but he was killed at the beginning of the second episode. The final winner was a beautiful white girl. Although "Night of the Living Dead" left Black people and women are listed as survivors, but it is not a pure horror film. There are metaphors of the times. Black people and women appear as representatives of eternal victims. Horror movies without politics?Life or death is the greatest politics.
