Not long ago, Red Face Show saw a lot of self-media people are recommending a reality TV movie about Darren Brown,
Created by Darren Brown, a psychological magician from the UK, the show explores whether a person can go to life-threatening extremes when exposed to the surrounding environment.
To put it bluntly, it is to show a sense of "social subservience",
This awareness can come from a very authoritative individual, or from a group of like-minded people.
In fact, for this kind of statement, Hong Yanxiu still agrees with it, after all, history and some regions do exist in such a phenomenon.
For example, in the ancient centralized system, the emperor was portrayed as the son of the true destiny, and the mandate of heaven could not be violated.
For example, in modern society, the problem of crossing the road at a red light, because everyone is running a red light, and the herd mentality makes many people follow the wave.
But these are not the whole story, and the basis for its establishment depends entirely on the "personal interest"!
Individuals as human units, when they are "lost in interests", will make two choices: resist and escape,
And these two choices also depend on the proportion of the individual's foreseeable loss of interest,
If the loss is large, it is resisted, such as an uprising, and if the loss is small, it is diversified and evaded, such as violating morality and ethics and obeying self-preservation.
And for this Darren Brown reality SHOW experiment, but want to use the environmental impact,
Let an ordinary person kill another unrelated person in 72 hours,
Obviously, the component of the performance is greater than the display of human nature, and the gimmick is greater than the human thinking.
However, the cheaters rely on acting skills, reality TV on challenging the bottom line, and Darren Brown has done it again!
Darren Brown's performance once again made countless "melon-eating masses" marvel and amaze, but The Red Face Show felt that this was just a wonderful magic show.
Darren Brown does express the horror of "social subservience," but there is also a certain amount of performance and exaggeration.
First of all, Darren Brown is now a well-known psychology researcher and magician in Britain.
The perfect combination of the two can actually split into two physiques: life mentors and charlatans,
His name is an "influence" in itself, like in the third season of Sherlock, where he hypnotizes Watson for a few seconds as himself, buying Sherlock precious time to cover his own fake death.
So, Darren Brown itself can represent some kind of theory,
And this theory will not make many people who know and love him seriously question,
Plus at the beginning of this reality show, pretending to be a policeman, having a male employee of a coffee shop by phone, pushing away a stroller, and freeing hostages from an audience of young female kidnappers,
By the time Darren Brown solidified his theory with a small experiment, we could not help but admit his theory.
In such a particular environment, if you believe, the first consideration is still "loss of interest",
If the sense of justice bursts, you will do it, if you feel that this will cause a loss of profit, you will hesitate,
But darren Brown's setting of this environment, if you think about it, is very clever!
First of all, the kidnapper is a young woman, who is weaker than the male clerk.
The second is to push away the stroller, which is much less dangerous than subduing the kidnapper.
So Darren Brown's proof of "social subservience" is actually not so "conclusive" and is just a starter to a big meal.
Then there was the selection of "authenticity actors" for the 72-hour killing show, with Darren Brown using "herd mentality",
However, the three actors kept "standing up and sitting down", and then observed whether many "authentic actors" would imitate themselves.
A 29-year-old single male Chris was selected from these self-imitating "real sex actors" to conduct this reality show experiment.
In fact, this process of selecting "authentic actors" was put on the screen, and its role was to promote the development of the plot.
More importantly, it reinforces and reinforces Darren Brown's theory of "social subservience."
Everything is ready, it is the packaging of the environmental scene,
Invite "Doctor Who" David Tennant, "Tide" Martin Freeman and other well-known people to virtualize a charity project.
Then, a charity auction dinner is held, and Chris assists the director (actor) of the charity project,
For Chris, Darren Brown needs to influence him with some environment, psychology, control him,
For example, informing Chris to attend a charity auction dinner without informing him that he needs to wear formal attire.
Then tell him that he needs to help carry the bags and services of the big bosses and the upper class, so that he realizes his low social status.
Then, through the interface, take away his mobile phone, to prevent the outside world from affecting him,
In a commanding tone, he asked him to insert a vegetarian sign into the meat, in short, all kinds of details hinted at, affecting Chris into a walking dead who would only obey orders.
Then find an actor to become a big boss who came to the scene before the charity auction dinner began, and suddenly urged death,
In the face of unexpected circumstances, the director of the charity project (actor) Tom asked Chris to remove the body first, do not call the police, so as not to affect the entire charity auction dinner,
Then without giving Chris time to think, let him dress up as a big boss who died suddenly to speak on stage.
After that, so that things could not be calmed down for a moment, it was reversed again, and the wife of the big boss dressed as Chris arrived,
Tell them: "Her husband had narcolepsy, and when he fell ill, he died!" ”
He also told them that her husband would carry a voice recorder with him on important occasions, and when Chris breathed a sigh of relief, he found that the body of the big boss had disappeared.
Then, the big boss suddenly appeared, very angry, and used the voice recorder as evidence to report the whole incident.
So, all the staff and Chris got together to discuss countermeasures.
Everyone agreed to kill the big boss and unanimously elect Chris to do it himself and push the big boss off the stage!
The ending, yes, Chris didn't do that.
Seriously, what about a high-society dinner party, because the interests of the activists are threatened, they want to kill people? Whoever it is, it will not be done,
When the big boss died suddenly, the "order" of the charity project director (actor) Tom to Chris was not "social subservience", but emotional communication.
But these details, reality TV will not let fans have time to think about it,
Darren Brown immediately attributed Chris to the "lucky one" because the experiment had four "authenticity actors".
The gender is also two men and two women, very scientific, oh, the same process, and the other three people have pushed the big boss off the high platform!
Chris's ending is perfect, and in this reality show, we see the good side of human nature.
But implicitly proves that 75% of the people in the "social subservience" test apply this theory.
On closer reflection, it is extremely terrifying, but if everyone thinks in a different position, if it is their own, the same process, will it really do this!
I'm afraid that Hongyan Xiu will not be like this, because from the perspective of the proportion of personal interest loss, it seems that he does not have much loss.
After all, it was just that the police were not called in time, which was also to realize the wish of the big boss's charity, and there was also a voice recorder as proof.
Perhaps many people think,
In this reality show, Darren Brown keeps the events turned upside down so that Chris didn't have time to think about these questions.
And "social subservience" does apply in a certain large-scale environment, but in the small environment of this reality show, there is no comparison.
"Social subservience" does make people think about human nature.
But Darren Brown's reality show, like a variety show that lets certain actors go to acting competitions, kills strangers for 72 hours, too fake, too fake...
Nowadays, scammers rely on acting skills, and reality TV relies on challenging the bottom line and using gimmicks as leads to attract our attention.
As a red-faced show for the melon-eating masses, Darren Brown once again successfully used psychology to perform a wonderful magic trick.
