A film that frequently finds a fit in a personal sense

Possibly the most subversive film for me in recent years or even in recent years. Several reasons:

1. For an engineering student's instinct, the concept of code logic and branching tree is cold and familiar.

2. The loop of the plot, the nesting, and the ultimate question about dream and reality, virtual and real, it's all very Black Mirror.

3. The situation of the protagonist in the play is very similar to myself, who is in isolation and making music during this period of time, collapse, retry, emptiness, sensitivity, darkness, desire, memory, compulsion, relief, moving, and those who will rush into my mind at any time. weird scene or idea, it's all too similar. I know I'm a twisted weirdo now, and when the protagonist is explaining to his boss that I have to do this at home and can't work as a team, I feel the same way as this psychopath thinks. But creating is really a frustrating thing. Fortunately, I don’t put too much pressure on myself now. I know it will be very painful. I can’t stand it now, unlike last year or before.

4. Even the music in the play makes me feel that it really coincides with the music I'm making now. Which one comes first, who borrows from whom, and how is all this possible. . . Lots of de ja vu. . . And this just seems to confirm the concept of parallel world and time line shifting that the Black Mirror series of films explore in essence.

5. After reading the comments, I realized that there are so many easter eggs. I don’t know why I have a strong preference for the recurrence of this kind of scene interspersed in a series. It is like a huge project, allowing you to see the whole and the parts. And just like the music I'm making this time, I'm also planning to reproduce some passages or signs of the music I've made in the past. I think it's all the same, and I think Black Mirror is doing this not just to add to the fun or mystery or pure commercial considerations of the movie, but first of all it's going to let the creators themselves be moved and shocked first , because this is a series of episodes with a very long time and complicated content. Only at this time can there be the possibility of playing prequels or hiding easter eggs. I like productive, creative, epic, contextual, any art work, it's so exciting.

6. After watching the movie, I realized that Netflix itself is the company that produces the movie, and then I saw the way of online interactive playback, and then I understood why I downloaded a 10G 5-hour version, which edited multiple plot branches. . . So cool anyway.

For me, Black Mirror has no meaning of Jiang Lang's talent at all, or I like this kind of subject so much that I will like every movie I see, not to mention that this one has too many surprises.

    It hurts to be born human. You think you are a player, but there is only one player playing you. You make choices seriously, you think you have a lot of choices, but in the end someone has the final say. One way of thinking is: don’t choose, anyway, how many points in life will be written when the final paper is handed in; Just write it. It was so sad to see, I remembered the feeling when I watched "Previous Destination". Another: Finn's brother is too cute.

    Netflix's Great Strike Against Theaters and Piracy! Just like the protagonist's game gets different ratings at the end, the boring path will probably look and feel much worse, and there will always be surprises if you try a few more times!

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch quotes

  • Colin Ritman: There's messages in every game. Like Pac-Man. Do you know what "Pac" stands for? P-A-C: program and control. He's Program and Control Man. The whole thing's a metaphor. He thinks he's got free will, but really he's trapped in a maze, in a system. All he can do is consume, he's pursued by demons that are probably just in his own head and even if he does manage to escape by slipping out one side of the maze, what happens? He comes right back in the other side. People think it's a happy game. It's not a happy game, it's a fucking nightmare world and the worst thing is, it's real and we live in it. It's all code. If you listen closely, you can hear the numbers. There's a cosmic flowchart that dictates where you can and where you can't go. I've given you the knowledge. I've set you free. Do you understand?

  • Dr. Haynes: The past is immutable, Stefan. No matter how painful it is, we can't change things. We can't choose differently with hindsight. We all have to learn to accept that.
