Since the broadcast, Douban score has remained high, maintaining at around 8.9 points.
In the United States in the 1990s, two "century cases" were born.
One is the well-known "Simpson's wife killing case", and the other is the "campus bomber" serial bombing case with great influence in the United States.
Searching for Bombers shows the whole process of the FBI trying to catch Kaczynski, a "campus bomber", which lasted 17 years.
1September, 995 19, in front of a newsstand in the San Francisco bay area, people queued up early to buy the Washington post of that day. On this day, the newspaper published a full eight-page academic paper entitled "On Industrial Society and Its Future", which was later widely called "Manifesto of School Aviation Bombers".
The day before, Janet Reno, then the US Attorney General, had an urgent discussion with the directors and executives of the FBI and accepted the bomber's request to make a statement in mainstream newspapers. On the one hand, the public is curious about the contents of the declaration, on the other hand, they are very dissatisfied with the government's compromise to terrorists.
In fact, this is a gamble of the FBI. The real purpose is to catch the bomber among the people who buy newspapers. There is only one newsstand in Washington post, San Francisco. The FBI is convinced that the bomber is arrogant and conceited, and he will definitely show up to buy his booty. So almost all the police forces in San Francisco gathered here and laid a tight encirclement.
Newsstands were very lively that day, and undercover agents and snipers followed and investigated all the people who bought Washington post. Such a large-scale covert operation is unique in American history.
But the FBI failed again and the bomber stood me up again.
17 years, 500 agents were used, more than 200 suspects were arrested by mistake, more than 20,000 phone calls were made, and 5 million dollars were spent, but nothing was achieved. The "campus bomber" nailed the FBI firmly to the shame column.
Sam worthington is one of the leading characters in Looking for Bombers. He was very popular in his early years because of his role in Avatar. Unfortunately, he has been dormant for many years. This time, he swept away the gloom and gave an excellent interpretation of Fitzgerald, an excellent analyst of the FBI.
The so-called "profile" is simply to outline the criminal's mentality through the analysis of clues such as modus operandi and criminal characteristics, so as to infer the criminal's race, gender, age and occupation. And even predict their next move.
After Fitzgerald entered the task force, he keenly pointed out that the previous profiling results were wrong, which was also an important reason why the FBI failed to catch the bomber in 17. At the same time, Fitzgerald also gives his own profile results, which not only infers that the other party is a high IQ criminal with a withdrawn personality, but also successfully predicts the subsequent criminal behavior and timing.
However, such an excellent agent who brought a major breakthrough to the case did not get the attention it deserved. As a huge government agency, the FBI has a set of standardized workflow. Under the system, if you don't follow the established rules, you can only be excluded everywhere.
Paul Betney, the actor of Kaczynski, the Campus Bomber, is a cool "vision" in the series of The Avengers in recent years. However, his many complicated and gloomy roles in A Beautiful Mind and Dogwell are his best plays.
The unfathomable Ted Kaczynski is even more gloomy than the characters before Vision.
Born in Chicago, Kaczynski 1942 is a real child prodigy with an IQ as high as 167 (it is rumored that Hawking's IQ is 160). /kloc-he was admitted to Harvard at the age of 0/6, and received a doctorate in mathematics from the University of Michigan at the age of 25.
His doctoral thesis is excellent, and the professor who presided over the thesis defense said that only ten people in the United States could understand and appreciate his research at most. After graduating from Ph.D., he was hired as an associate professor by the Department of Mathematics of Berkeley University and resigned two years later.
This life experience seems so perfect, but Kaczynski recalls that during this period, he was used by his admired mentor and suffered a cruel brainwashing experiment, which made him extremely desperate for life and painful to die.
Since you are not afraid of death, there is nothing to be afraid of. This became a turning point in his life, from which he gained so-called freedom and courage.
Kaczynski is not a psychopathic killer. He suffered a lot of mental trauma when he was young, and was pushed out by his colleagues because of his advanced thinking after work. He was depressed, and finally even his family couldn't stand his personality.
At first, he didn't have any damn plans. At the age of 30, he fled the metropolis and built a "perfect" wooden house for himself in the forest. He wants to return to nature and be a self-sufficient idle person.
However, a few years later, his isolated Shan Ye became a development zone, and logging saws and bulldozers shattered his quiet years and destroyed the beauty of nature. Kaczynski vowed revenge, from a hermit to a vengeful demon.
He regards the whole society as a huge industrial machine, and everyone is a part of it. All he has to do is make a sound, blow up the parts and make people realize the terrible industrialization.
So the bombs he dropped at first were aimed at university professors and airlines. He believes that universities and airlines are at the forefront of science and technology, and these advanced parts of the social machine are the best targets for their own voices, hence the name "school bomber".
In the two-line parallel drama story, the change of Fitzgerald's mental journey is the most important part of the whole drama. 1995, happy family and successful career. Two years later, like Kaczynski, he lived in seclusion in the mountains and avoided social rules and systems.
As he himself said, part of Kaczynski's thoughts entered his brain and influenced him secretly.
Fitzgerald constantly has conflicts with his boss, colleagues and even family members, which is exactly the same as Kaczynski's life. Whether it is because he invested too much in the analysis and research of the declaration "Industrial Society and Its Future" or because he is too natural, he may not even know it himself.
The whole play presents Kaczynski's life experience to the public as objectively as possible.
The audience followed Fitzgerald's perspective, learned about the life of the bomber, learned about Kaczynski's beliefs, and thought about the significance of the declaration of Industrial Society and its Future.
This paper full of philosophical speculation has made many people seriously think about the author's point of view. The paper is very forward-looking in many assumptions and thinking about the disasters that industrial society may bring to mankind in the future. People don't resist the declaration because of the author's terrorist status, but think about the views and ideas in the declaration, which shows the depth and value of the paper.
Most of us exist as social people, that is to say, we have the obligation to make our own contributions to society and abide by the rules of society, and the whole society has the obligation to protect everyone's life and survival needs.
In industrial society, treating people as screws seems to be the most appropriate metaphor. No matter how different their status is, they can't escape the constraints of social rules.
After watching this play, you may think like Fitzgerald, why do we stop at a red light in an empty street? Who's binding you and me? Is it the rules or ourselves?
