Chapter 64 urban legend

I prefer to watch movies based on urban legends, such as "A Nightmare on Elm Street", "Scream", "I Know What You Did Last Summer", "You're Next", "Death Comes", "Honey Man", "Gap Girl", "Ghost Doll Hanako".These movies that have been filmed one after another, the initial trigger point of inspiration, I am afraid it is a small legend. Say "candyman" to the mirror five times, and black slaves who have been tortured and killed in ancient times will appear in the mirror; women who have failed plastic surgery always wear a gray trench coat and wander in the park. The big mouth scares the child so that he can be abducted away; there is a grieving little ghost hidden in the toilet, there is a wandering Freddie in the dream, young people who escaped the plane crash, and finally died one by one... People call it "urban". Mr. Legend" American folklorist JH Brunvand (JH Brunvand) is interested in studying these.In his book "The Vanishing Hitchhiker - American Urban Legends and Their Significance", there are many of these bridges that we have seen in movies and TV.In fact, he is not the only one who does this work. The university in "Honey Man" has a course called "Urban Legend".The course was taught by a beautiful female teacher wearing a tight sweater, specializing in the study of supernatural, weird legends and various rumors in the city, thereby exploring the social atmosphere and people's psychological changes.

We have no shortage of such legends. "A pair of embroidered shoes", "No. 81 Chaonei Street", and the unsinkable post on the Tianya Forum "The Supernatural Incident of Bus No. 330".There are similar legends in our hometown. The white-clothed woman who took the taxi paid the taxi fare with a hundred-yuan bill that was a ghost coin. Strange incidents of corpses missing frequently occurred in the hospital. It turned out that they were made into human flesh. The corpses were shipped out to make stuffing for buns.Urban legends are actually a kind of distorted anxiety and space fear. As long as cities exist, legends must exist.It's as if as long as human beings exist, legends about souls and destiny must exist.But this time, it is attached to the city's subways, buses, taxis, old houses, tunnels, and toilets, becoming a unique branch.

But it lacks the so-called positive meaning, so it is a good intention to cover our heads, lest we be frightened.Such legends are all within the scope of being exterminated and corrected, but this "exterminated" and "corrected" behavior also forms a unique aesthetic interest.For a while, my friends and I frantically watched CCTV's materialist masterpiece "Approaching Science" because of this tune. At the beginning, a thick male voice always said grimly and solemnly: "August 2003, a sultry night", After several episodes, the mystery was revealed. The UFO was projected by lights in the distance. The person who flew in the dream was actually suffering from sleepwalking. The family members fell ill one after another because someone poisoned them. The strange screams in the barn were caused by villains in the same village... …Every time we see the end, seeing our worldview being rescued so easily, we just burst into tears.

Then we all learned it, including the way the male voice narrates.The friend’s money was lost and recovered. We followed the male voice to explain: “On November 8, 2006, Bao Xiaoqiang’s 1,000 yuan money suddenly disappeared! Is it an alien? Is it an unknown species? Gap."
