People
started to realize how indifferent and severe they were, and how distressed
Benny was after they watch Benny’s suicide. People cried and regretted at his
funeral, and TV news even broadcasted about it. Benny had been same before his
suicide video: he was hurt and he required a warm treatment from people. People,
however, changed their behavior after they watch his death. Our society became
so insensitive that only accident having a great impact like a death can warn
the society. In other words, as long as there is no big happening, we can’t
feel anything about it.
The
suicide was, however, a show. As Jesus revives, Benny appeared in front of
mourning people at his funeral, indirectly criticizing people’s insensitivity
and hypocrisy. What a creative idea. It made them to look back that they looked
back them only after watching Benny’s death. Interesting thing is that the idea
came from the concept from the game. The girl name Scarlite recommended him to
make a guild as he did in the game, and he could get help from ‘parents’ guild.
It first looked like criticizing a game in that Benny often confused the
reality and the game and he even tried to kill a person as he kills trolls in
the game. But the movie finally portraits a game’s benefits he got healed from
the cyber relationship and solved his problem hinted by the game. This
viewpoint was fresh because most of the media often points the game as a reason
of social problem.
Yes,
the girl named Scarlite was actually imaginary person, but it implies more
then. It suggests that Benny himself solved a problem, without other’s help. He
left home by himself and he tried to build a relationship with other person -
he developed. The movie ultimately tries to tell us that the society needs a
healer. There are many problems still ignored and unsolved in this world. Benny’s
fake show was a healer, making people to realize themselves. This movie,too, functions as a healer, making me to write a review.
