Exploring the Mechanism of Empathy in Films through Lacan's Theory

Imagine a scenario of watching a film in cinema: A group of people are gathered in a dimly lit room, sitting closely together. They resist the urge to leave for a restroom break or smoke, their attention solely focused on the screen in front of them. As the screen comes to life, it transports them to a different time and place. They are no longer mere spectators, but active participants in the unfolding story. These individuals willingly spend their money to immerse themselves in emotions that t

Under The Silver Lake： Culture is a Fabrication Part 2

In our previous discussion, we examined how Sam and Sarah, who represent the general public, are trapped in the never-ending cycle of Samsara and are unable to break free from it. This entrapment is caused by the illusion that is imposed on society through culture and consumerism. Sam becomes fixated on material success and women, while Sarah becomes obsessed with material possessions and pleasing men, or simply marrying a wealthy man. This represents the painful cycle of life that both men and

My Problems with Guardians of the Galaxy 3

I've been a fan of James Gunn ever since his first two films "Slither" and "Superhero". His dark humor, twisted sensibilities, and depiction of anti-heroes make his work stand out from other filmmakers. "Superheroes are too perfect. Why can't a hero be a loser?" In his world, heroes seem always to be ordinary schmucks who have been through the wringer, whether it's the cuckolded main character in "Superhero" or Starlord from "Guardians of the Galaxy" who lost his mother at a young age and was ab

AI: The Fear of AI Destroying Humanity

In recent times, the influence of chatbots such as ChatGPT has penetrated into various aspects of human life. People are delighted by the rapid development of AI, but also feel a little bit of panic - Can artificial intelligence evolve self-awareness? Will human jobs be replaced? Will humans ultimately be replaced by artificial intelligence? However, current artificial intelligence still is Turing machines, which adopt empirical and evolutionary principles. GPT is an upgraded version of the Turi

"Evil Dead: Rise"： The Surprises and Disappointments

In the 80s, horror movies were constantly coming up with new and creative ideas worldwide. However, in today's era, aside from films like "Get Out" and "Hereditary," there are few horror movie ideas that truly stand out. Why were horror movies in the 80s able to be so imaginative and bold? The advantage of genre filmmakers in the 80s was that they thought every day about what they could create, whereas now it's more about what they can remake. Remakes of classic horror films have become a major

ExistenZ: The Line between Reality and Virtuality

Let's begin this article with the classic philosophical question: Is the world we perceive to be real? Some philosophers argue that reality is subjective and depends on our individual experiences, while others argue that there is an objective reality that exists independently of our perception of it. From the scientific perspective, the world we perceive may not be entirely real. Our perceptions of the world are filtered through our sensory organs and interpreted by our brains, which construct a

The Cell: The Stunning Subconscious

Ever since Freud introduced his theory of the subconscious, individuals have been provided with a dynamic and boundless tool to express self-awareness and psychoanalysis. Movies can explore this topic in imaginative ways, such as in movies like “Shutter Island,” “Source Code," “Existenz,” "Inception," and the film we are going to talk about today, "The Cell." "The Cell" is a psychological thriller film directed by Tarsem Singh and released in 2000. The story follows Catherine Deane (played by Je

"Taxi Driver": How the Audio-Visual Language Depicts Travis's Distorted Worldview

Martin Scorsese is widely regarded as one of the greatest filmmakers of his or any generation. Of his long list of masterpieces, his enduring classic “Taxi Driver” remains one of the most beloved.

Siempre me gustó el cine, antes miraba mucho terror (y lo sigo haciendo), pero después de que vi todas las películas del libro 1001 películas que hay que ver antes de morir, me convertí en un cinéfilo al 100%, abriéndome a todos los géneros cinematográficos. Miro muchas películas, ya sea en el cine o en mi casa. Soy coleccionista de películas originales en formato físico, tengo más de 1000.
