Cronenberg’s Videodrome and the Post-Modern Condition

The situation of Video Drome and Postmodern in Cronenberg In the past few years, when artists and philosophers criticized the reality of the world, people believed that there was always a need for criticism. But postmodern has brought such a bad new challenge to the people - the world is actually overcome by technology, and the important problem of human beings no longer exists like "why we are born to suffer" Is not it to find answers to questions? "But by only trying to distinguish between reality and illusion, postmodern people are not an esoteric philosophical speculation but an actual everyday problem.

VIDEODROME is an original vision, it is not particularly difficult to follow and analyze. If you learned about the feelings of Cronenberg and how he expresses it visually, the discontinuation of the entire civil war between the Brian O'Blivion and the Videodrome faction is a bit disappointing. Please imagine that Cronenberg produced the movie with today's Nolan scale budget. Cronenberg does not seem to have Nolan's ambitions for scenes and effects, but it's fun to think what he does. It is not crazy for people like Cronenberg to understand that they can fund them today. I do not know if the director can write and instruct a horror / SF script that does not depend on the effect, but I will use them as a tool to talk about criticism of visual media.

As usual, horror movies managed to express this idea before scientists could do this and expressed expressions in better, more essential terms. "Television Screen" Unforgettable image of Brian Oblon is David Cronenberg's 1983 classic video drame "The retina of the heart is the retina.Therefore, the screen of the television shows the physical structure of the brain It is a part. " More media theory: Second-hand McLuhan, second-hand Baudrillard. What happened next is very interesting. Our hero discovered that under the creepy nihilism of the video age, not a strange thing happened in him, not in his heart. The barking cave is open to his abdomen, surrounded by horrible pulsating lips folds. I will eat weapons. His hand fired a metal screw, entered his wrist, locked his gun with one hand, and the hand swelled into an invisible infiltrated body. He was told to kill him, he killed. His ideas have not been infringed.
