The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 1934 is irrelevant to the main plot (Please give me a monthly ticket!!! Please subscribe!!! Please recommend!!!)
Keith actually doesn't have a reputation as a mutant outside, just because she seldom uses her abilities, not because she has any discrimination against mutants... Keith is a child who is different from others. She is a rebellious person. When others think that mutants are monsters, she thinks they are very cool!

Well, this is actually a cover-up. The main reason why she became an orphan since she was young was because of this ability. She couldn't remember the details, but she only knew that when she was very young, her ability awakened and caused damage, and she became an orphan... Of course, she didn't die because of her parents, but was abandoned.

She was very sure of this, so she knew from a very young age that having superpowers was not a good thing, so she kept it hidden. Unfortunately, she was later adopted and abandoned again. This made her realize that she was abandoned not because she had superpowers... After all, many mutants have parents.

The most famous one is BoJack Horseman.

This guy is also a mutant, but he is a little... weird. He really has a horse's head! His feet are hooves, like a horse that has become a spirit. But there is no doubt that he is a human, or a mutant.

But this guy is very popular recently!
Perhaps in order to cooperate with government propaganda, Hollywood has been promoting mutants in recent years. Don't think that American movies are really free and unregulated. In fact, there has always been regulation, but others have done it more secretly.

If you watch mainstream Hollywood movies, you’ll find that this is the fucking propaganda department of the United States!
Rewriting history, making up stories, and even creating something out of nothing is simply amazing!
It's comparable to the Nazi propaganda machine!
Hollywood movies have made great contributions to the dissemination of American values. The US government is well aware that Hollywood movies can spread American values ​​more effectively than other media and serve American foreign policy more effectively. Therefore, the US fully supports the development of Hollywood movies. The US government is a strong backing for Hollywood to go global and become the world's film dream factory. The two can be said to cooperate and promote each other. When the First World War broke out, the world film industry was still in its infancy. The US government fully noticed the potential power and value of movies beyond commercial interests and began to work with Hollywood to conduct diplomacy. In 1915, Carl Laemmle, the founder of Universal Pictures, had an indissoluble bond with then-US President Wilson. Laemmle convinced Wilson that Hollywood movies not only brought economic benefits, but also were more effective propaganda media than propaganda departments and could serve as a powerful diplomatic tool.

The year 1918 was a critical year for the development of Hollywood films. This year, the film industry was officially recognized as a "basic industry", which meant that even when the US government was in financial difficulties, the industry could obtain financial support to continue operating, thus providing strong support for the booming development of Hollywood films. Hollywood did not disappoint the expectations of the US government and efficiently carried out the task of shaping the US national image and promoting American values. By the end of World War I, the Hollywood film industry had become an important part of the US "multifunctional national interest aggregation". The collusion between Hollywood and the US government continued to deepen after the end of World War I and reached its peak during World War II when Roosevelt was in power. In 1942, Roosevelt began to try to establish a new government agency, the Office of War Information (OWI), and used film propaganda to keep Americans supporting the war.

At that time, the "Movie Industry Government Information Guide" issued by the Wartime Information Bureau was followed by most Hollywood film companies to convey the war scenes that the US government wanted people to see through the screen. During World War II, Hollywood filmmakers did their best to help the US government export its values ​​and ideas, and successively shot a large number of "main theme" films. These films not only condensed the fighting spirit of Americans, but also promoted close relations with the Allies.

At this time, the ideological attributes of Hollywood movies were fully reflected. Hollywood fully cooperated with the US government to promote the image of the United States and conduct political propaganda, and this behavior in turn won it more official support. Whenever Hollywood movies needed to expand the market, the US government would spare no effort to clear the way for them. From the end of World War II to the time after, there were countless examples of cooperation between the US military and political circles and Hollywood, and the filming of many war films received great "assistance" from the military. The reason why Hollywood can shoot shocking and realistic pictures is not unrelated to the real site conditions and sophisticated weapons and equipment provided by the US military.

On the one hand, Hollywood has discovered that war films can often make a lot of money and have huge commercial benefits, so it has tried hard to seek military assistance; on the other hand, the US military also attaches great importance to Hollywood's "image charm" that affects the world, so it uses dollars and military equipment to lure Hollywood directors to strive to make films that meet the strategic intentions of the US military and government. Hollywood and the US military borrow from each other and take what they need. In the game of interests between each other, the two sides have maintained a relatively perfect balance between commercial value and the image of the US military. In short, the US government has provided Hollywood with all-round support, laying a solid foundation for Hollywood to dominate the global film industry: in turn, Hollywood movies have served as the best image ambassadors for the United States, and by exporting and spreading its implicit values, they have ideologically "conquered" the people of other countries, removing ideological obstacles for the United States to maintain its global hegemony.

Movies are not just a cultural product. As a propaganda medium that is packaged by light and shadow technology and has the most vivid and penetrating communication effect, what goes beyond itself is that movies always carry certain values. Movies convey these values ​​in a way that is easy, entertaining, and popular with the audience, directly or indirectly affecting the audience's state of mind and mental outlook. Movies do not leave any traces in the dissemination of values, but the effect of expressing and disseminating values ​​through narrative images is obvious.

A careful analysis of the film's perception reveals that it contains a real, deep, lasting, and moving emotional force that may not be fanatical, but can guide or even influence the audience's value judgment and pursuit. Although the film has superficial entertainment, commercial, and literary qualities, its basic attribute is the inherent value.

Movies are not simply good-looking pastimes or exciting entertainment, but a medium that continuously conveys values ​​to the outside world. Therefore, movie exports have become an important part of a country's external communication. Countries around the world often use movies to shape their national image and spread their own ideas, culture and values. It is undeniable that the United States is particularly successful in spreading values ​​through movies. As the largest producer and exporter of contemporary popular culture, the United States has become a "world storyteller." A powerful weapon for the United States as a "world storyteller" is Hollywood movies. Hollywood movies are an important carrier for exporting and spreading American values, and their dissemination effect far exceeds the scope of political and diplomatic propaganda in the general sense.

On the one hand, Hollywood earns huge commercial profits by satisfying the public's viewing interests and selling its film products. On the other hand, it consciously shoulders the heavy responsibility of shaping and endorsing the image of the United States, acting as a tool for cultural penetration, spreading American culture and American values ​​to other countries in the world, and achieving a double harvest of box office and value output. The brilliance of Hollywood movies lies in that they do not carry out shallow political propaganda and policy interpretation, but are wrapped in a layer of film and television entertainment, using superb scientific and technological means to package and create shocking audio-visual effects, making hundreds of millions of viewers in different countries around the world indulge in the sensory enjoyment and aesthetic pleasure brought by the film, and quietly using the mainstream ideology of the United States to erode their consciousness, ideas, living habits and even their identification with local culture. This erosion will gradually spread and become increasingly significant as the unequal status of both parties in the communication process, subtly making the audience feel close to and identify with American values, imitating the thinking and behavior of the movie characters in life, and unconsciously forming a psychological worship and yearning for the United States.

In short, Hollywood has built a successful commercial operation model. Many of its films have pleasant visual effects and are favored by the widest audience because they appeal to both the elite and the masses. However, the greatest success of Hollywood films lies in the organic combination of spiritual core and commercial shell, which allows the audience to readily accept the American values ​​hidden beneath the surface structure of the film; and in the use of American values ​​to unresistance devour the value traditions of other parts of the world, forming a kind of value hegemony.

Hollywood movies have directly or indirectly participated in the shaping of American values, and exported them to other countries in a covert way, which has had a real impact on the values ​​of people in various countries. By tracing the history of Hollywood's development, we can find that the process of Hollywood's rise to the world's film dream factory coincides with the process of the United States' rise to a superpower, and is synchronized with the United States's promotion of public diplomacy, including the export of values. In this regard, Hollywood movies are undoubtedly an important part of the United States' cultural soft power - Hollywood benefits from government support, market operations and the promotion of diverse immigrant cultures in the export of American values. First of all, we can feel the strong comprehensive strength of the United States through Hollywood movies, and at the same time, we can also recognize the strong support of the US government from its vigorous development. In many historical facts such as policies, legislation, institutional settings, personnel activities and presidential speeches, the interaction between Hollywood and national power is reflected. Hollywood has never been far away from politics, and American politics and American movies complement each other, because "Hollywood has been too deeply integrated into American culture and can no longer escape American politics."

Secondly, the political communication mechanism of Hollywood movies fully reflects the binary interaction between the state and the market. The state and the market are different organizational forms of power. The two construct and influence each other, forming an interconnected and closely complex relationship. Hollywood movies are in this binary interaction.

So don’t be fooled by the fact that Hollywood seems to be a group of people. In fact, what they want to shoot really depends on what the government wants them to shoot.

Whatever the government needs, they are the vanguard of the government.

For example, if the government wants to claim black people, a large number of black films will appear. Even many movies seem to be money-losing products, but major production companies will make them anyway! Do you really think those people are stupid? No!
They are not stupid, on the contrary they are very smart. If you look carefully, you will find that the film business is not profitable! At least not as profitable as you think, and those film companies are controlled by big financial groups.

For them, the movie brings them income, so they are naturally happy. Who wouldn't be happy if they made money, but that's it.

Because they make more money in other businesses,

How much can they lose if they lose money on movies? So even though those movies seem to have made billions at the box office, for the big guys behind the scenes, this little money is nothing. After deducting taxes, box office revenue, etc., how much can they lose?

What they value is the things behind it. The movie may not bring much profit, but the influence it brings is more valuable than the box office!

It’s really because those executives are blind!

Don’t you know that black Snow White is ugly? Don’t you know that dreadlocked mermaids are trashy?
They know it very well, but they have no way to promote it. After all, they themselves are too lazy to watch such things. It really doesn't matter to them whether they make a lot or a little, or even a lot or a little loss. Anyway, there are plenty of places to make money!
Is the government starting to pay attention to mutants?
OK! Let’s shoot mutants!
Do whatever is possible, no matter how moving it is.

Isn't it just about changing the direction of public opinion? They are old players and are very familiar with this set of tricks.

Since they want to transform mutants, of course they have to find real mutants. And they can't be the kind of mutants with deep hatred and deep grudges... Doing this at the beginning is a bit provocative. They have to wait until the public opinion has completely changed and needs to be deepened before finding this kind of person. To put it bluntly, it is just playing misery.

Then BoJack Horseman was chosen.

Although BoJack was born tragically, his life is not tragic. His father is a big farmer, rich! He is also educated, otherwise he would have suspected that his mother had an abnormal relationship with a horse. Otherwise, how could he have given birth to such a thing.

At the same time, his parents are very open-minded. When Bojack was born, they were indeed shocked, but they soon accepted that their child was different.

Then start to do everything possible to raise the child and give him the best.

Because they were afraid that he would be bullied, they let him grow up on the ranch, taught him to read and write, and took care of everything. They even decided not to have children to prevent him from thinking too much, so they just raised him alone. After all, they were still young and could at least raise Bojack until he was 60 years old.

At the same time, their neighbors' helpers are all good people. Although they may be scared at first, they soon treat Bojack as a good boy.

Although I don’t have many friends of my age, my life is not bad.

Later, he could even walk around the town freely (because his dad was the largest landowner in the town, and the entire town’s land belonged to them! Including the school, hospital, train station, and even supermarkets and small shops, they all belonged to them. The entire town actually worked for them! Who dared not to give them face?)

Then Hollywood took a fancy to him and not only brought his story to the screen, but also made him the leading actor and screenwriter!

The most popular thing right now is this superstar with a horse head!

I've gotten off topic. Anyway, Keith didn't like the name of a mutant before, but as she grew up and became rebellious, she started to like the name of a mutant. It's a pity... her ability is too bad!
