Hollywood Road

In the office not far from the conference room, Archbishop Marquez Costello is looking at the final interview process and carefully prepared remarks. In the past, he has contacted many church organizations, civil organizations and related organizations. Government departments, many of whom are in favor of restricting the excessive content of Hollywood movies, have expressed their support for his plan if necessary.

But Archbishop Márquez Costello knows very well that the wild horse of Hollywood has been out of the rein for too long, and it is easy to tie it back without even thinking about it. He must create a strong social situation.

To create this situation, public opinion is very important!

The various media offensives instigated by him before have obviously dealt a heavy blow to Murphy Stanton and Dark City, but these are far from enough.

Your Mightiness……

A press officer from the South Central Diocese of California said worriedly, Isn't this kind of attack too broad? According to this trend, we are targeting mainstream Hollywood movies.

This is my goal. Archbishop Marquez Costello said confidently, If we want to achieve our goal, we must continue to trigger a big discussion in society about Hollywood movies!

The negative impact caused by Diego Ross last time has already made the Vatican a little dissatisfied with him. If he doesn't make some achievements, how can he become a cardinal in red? How to climb to the highest position?

An archbishop who doesn't want to be the Pope, in the heart of Archbishop Marquez Costello, is definitely not a qualified archbishop!

The press officers seemed to want to say something more, but Archbishop Marquez Costello raised his hand and stopped him, I know exactly what to do!

Hearing this sentence, the press officer shut his mouth. He knew that Archbishop Marquez Costello had a strong character and work style, and it would be useless to say any more. Besides, he was only a news public relations officer hired by the church. In many matters related to educational affairs, there is no right to speak at all.

As soon as it got dark, Archbishop Marquez Costello walked into the conference room used for live broadcast. Regional religious leaders like him rarely appear in the media under normal circumstances, but those who appear are often big News, so Columbia TV did not hesitate to give up the studio, and according to the request of the other party, the location of the interview and live broadcast was placed in the temporary office of the Catholic Church in the South Central Diocese of California.

Although the communication was a bit difficult, and it was not as smooth as the usual interview, but with the efforts of the program director, the live broadcast of the interview started on time.

In front of the camera, the middle-aged host said a few routine polite words to Archbishop Marquez Costello,

Then he asked directly, Currently, the whole United States is paying attention to a hot issue related to Catholicism. Two Catholics were killed in Los Angeles in succession...

Yes! Archbishop Marquez Costello actually interrupted the host's words, looking strong and active, Two devout believers of the Lord were murdered by supporters of Murphy Stand!

The middle-aged host had never been in contact with Archbishop Marquez Costello before, so he didn’t know him very well. The routine asked.

Maybe it was because the grade was a little old, and the host was not quick enough to respond, so he could only ask mechanically for a while, What do you think of this?

This is the evil result of Murphy Stanton's long-term shooting of dark, bleak and violent movies! Archbishop Marquez Costello unceremoniously accused, Murphy Stanton should support the behavior of others for himself. Be responsible, not pass the buck like you are doing now!

Huh? The middle-aged host immediately understood that tonight would not look peaceful, but this would attract more attention, Your Excellency, movies and violence...

Hollywood movies have caused many violent incidents! Archbishop Marquez Costello said before the host finished asking, How many crimes have been caused by Hollywood movies in the past?

He spoke not fast, but sonorously, and listed many cases one by one, obviously well prepared.

In the words of Archbishop Márquez Costello, Taxi Driver, The Rape of Pear Blossoms, The Silence of the Lambs, The Seven Deadly Sins, Natural Born Killers, The Matrix, and Kill Bill and other films have also become the culprit in a series of vicious cases.

You mean... the host simply followed his words and asked, Something went wrong with Hollywood movies?

Obviously, something went wrong with Hollywood movies! Archbishop Marquez Costello nodded and said, Hollywood movies should be responsible for many vicious events in today's society, many Hollywood movies such as those directed by Murphy Stanton It is full of sins, sins that lure people into hell!

The host has found out, and he doesn't need to say much. His Excellency, Archbishop Marquez Costello, will reveal enough shocking news.

Your Excellency the Archbishop... he asked again, Can you list the evils in Hollywood movies?

Archbishop Marquez Costello looked solemn, I'm not a professional, maybe I haven't read it thoroughly, and I only found the three major evils in Hollywood movies for the time being!

Without waiting for the host to ask any more questions, Archbishop Marquez Costello took the initiative to say, The first sin, arouses the worship of the evil villain! For the purpose of stimulation and entertainment, Hollywood portrays the villain from the early murderer to Mental patients in the mid-term; and then shaped from some movie alerters to speculative thought criminals like magicians. In the process of the transformation of the villain, the positive role has not changed much, which has caused a dramatic impact. In terms of strength, the villain gradually takes the initiative.

Whether it's Michael Peterson in the movie, or Charles Manson on the screen. They're all characters who have been raised in a context where there are no heroes, or heroes are reduced to tools of political propaganda. More exaggerated movies magnify this mythological color, and make evil stained with apocalyptic behavior. Whether it is pure tyranny, or simple revenge, or a warning to awaken the world, or even magician-like speculation , all make people go from being curious to liking, from admiring to adoring, and finally accidentally turning into imitation.”

Seeing His Excellency the archbishop opposite, the host had to admit that this person was not criticizing indiscriminately, and what he said sounded well-founded and seemed very reasonable.

The second sin: Excessive display of violence! Of course, Archbishop Marquez Costello would not say anything casually, otherwise let alone attacking others, he would be the first to become a laughing stock. Serious violence is promoted by mainstream Hollywood movies. Content, this depiction of violence has increased the public's appetite, Hollywood can only keep increasing the weight of violent crimes, which has misled many young people and made them make extremely outrageous and heinous actions.

He coughed in a low voice and continued, The violence on the screen itself is just a kind of narrative element. The violence should have ended when the lights in the theater came on and the subtitles came out. But don't forget, movies are a kind of mass consumption. Culture, the violence of Hollywood movies has exceeded the norm, which will inevitably lead to the abuse of violence.

If you only listen to Archbishop Marquez Costello and don't know anything about Hollywood and the film industry, the host will keep nodding his head.

The identity of the archbishop is here, coupled with the rationale and evidence, it is indeed very convincing!

Archbishop Marquez Costello continued to say calmly, The third deadliest sin in Hollywood movies: promoting violence with violence!

Using violence to control violence, or using violence to counter violence, is a common tactic used by directors like Murphy Stanton. In those films, instead of using the law or other reasonable means to face the violence that occurs, use Violence against violence has become the only choice. And the more subtle use of violence against violence is the ultimate narrative method of the Murphy-Stantons holding the law against the law!

He said rather sadly, It's just the deep meaning here, which may not be understood by everyone. Therefore, many movie fans will love the thoughtful John Doe in The Seven Deadly Sins, and appreciate the inscrutable character in The Silence of the Lambs. Professor Hannibal will admire Mr. Smith in The Matrix, will be infatuated with the high-pressure killer in No Country for Old Men, and will fall in love with the magician in Dark City. It is true that using violence to control violence is very satisfying, but it has nothing to do with violence. Unrestrained imitation can only turn violence into a carrier that harms society and human beings.”

When the violence comes off the screen, get rid of the halo of the dream machine. Archbishop Marquez Costello grieved, and his voice was low. What we see is only tragedy.

The host looked at Archbishop Marquez Costello in a daze, and found that what he said was indeed very reasonable, perhaps a little exaggerated, but do Hollywood movies really not need to be responsible for a series of vicious incidents caused by movies? ?

In his opinion, those times are inseparable from Hollywood movies!

Your Excellency Archbishop Marquez Costello is indeed very powerful. At the end of the show, the host felt quite emotional, I'm afraid Murphy Stanton and many Hollywood violent movies will be in trouble.

Just as the host thought, after the TV show was broadcast, it did cause many people to reflect on it. After all, Archbishop Marquez Costello was not aimless. In the past, many people were victims of violence in Hollywood movies.

Moreover, Archbishop Marquez Costello prepared more than these. He had already contacted the families of several victims of the shooting at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, and their complaints were even stronger.
