She collected the girl's photos and wanted to go out and find out what happened. The streets were full of pedestrians, they behaved strangely, without words, and kept their distance from her. What's even weirder is that people are filming her with their phones in hand, like a monkey at a zoo. Before she had time to think, she saw a man with a hood printed with the word "convex" running towards her with a gun in the distance. Out of instinct, she ran away.
Until she met two clerks at the gas station, the male clerk died trying to save her, and the female clerk took her out of the gunman's attack. The female clerk told her that one part of the people has become a gunman, and the other part is brainwashed by the marks on the screen and becomes a bystander who can only film everything with a mobile phone; and their goal now is to go to a place called "White Bear" to destroy Turn off the signal transmitter. The heroine's face reappeared in her mind and she took pictures of her daughter playing, which made her a little nervous. She angrily smashed the onlookers with bricks and ran away, trying to pick up the video from their mobile phone, but the clerk took out a weapon and said to her, don't watch it, otherwise you will be brainwashed.
The gunmen came again, this time not alone but in a group.
The heroine took her to escape, and an old man driving a car rescued them at the critical moment. In the car, the hostess felt as if she knew him, but couldn't remember. The old man said to take them to a safe place. The hostess asked if it was the woods. The old man asked how you knew, but she couldn't tell.
When they got to the woods, the old man led them to a terrifying place like an execution ground. Instead of saving them, he wanted to kill them. Just when he started, the female clerk stepped forward again, killed the old man and saved the heroine. So their goal was to go to "White Bear" to destroy the signal transmitter.
It was getting late, and when I arrived at the "White Bear", I finally found the room where the signal transmitter was placed in the panic, and the female clerk wanted to burn it with a fire. Before there was time to start, the gunmen once again spoiled the situation. They pinned the female clerk to the ground and the situation was very critical. The hostess took the gun from their hands while the other party was not paying attention, trying to save the female clerk.
As soon as the shot was fired, fireworks were seen splashing. This is a fake gun. The heroine seemed to understand something, and saw that the transmitter opened like a door, and white light hit her. She stood in the middle of a stage, facing the lively audience. The audience is applauding this wonderful reality show. The fallen female clerk stood up and cooperated with the other gunmen to tie the heroine to a chair, waiting for the behind-the-scenes BOSS to come out and tell the truth.
This boss is none other than the old driver who was officially killed before. The appearance of the old man made the audience's applause even stronger. He said that the heroine was a cruel murderer who once murdered a little girl with her fiancé. They put her in a bag and burned her alive, and the hostess filmed the whole process with her mobile phone. The girl is the girl in the photo.
All the truth came out, and the reality show also ushered in the final link. The heroine was locked in a transparent box and marched on the street. People scolded her with great victories, called her a murderer, and threw tomatoes at her. She was locked up and could do nothing but cry. Later, the old man took her to a room with her hands tied to a chair. In front of it was a TV, which repeatedly played the images that appeared in her mind before: her fiancé and the dead girl. She screamed but struggled. The old man put a tool on her head and said, in half an hour, your memory will be clear. The next day, location: "White Bear Justice Park", "The Girl" and "Old Man" greeted a new group of tourists and said to them: "Welcome to White Bear Justice Park, come here, don't talk, don't Get in touch with the murderer, and shoot as much as you like!" The
above is the plot of the second episode of the second season of Black Mirror.
"Black Mirror" is the most shocking TV series I have seen in recent years. It has two seasons and six episodes in total. Each episode is an independent story, with a tense plot and deep meaning. If you ask me to recommend a TV show to watch, it's nothing but it.
Speaking of this episode, here are a few things to discuss.
First, indifference to the masses. I think the show still has a very firm critical stance on this, and everyone can see it. People always take pictures of the heroine's painful experiences with their mobile phones, and then stay indifferent: In this white bear reality show, people play numb pedestrians, but after the show, people still have no sympathy for the heroine, not only that , there are still more tourists who come to participate in the White Bear reality show. In the middle of the film, there is a point of dialogue. The female protagonist asked the female clerk if the signal made people become like this. The female clerk said: No, people have always been like this in their hearts, and the signal just digs them out. Obviously, being ruthless to people is the core idea that this episode wants to express.
In fact, for people in reality, this is the case, and everyone understands; but in this seemingly realistic and exaggerated way, the vast number of people are equipped with mobile phones, and the number of people and the incomparably calm behavior are used. It stimulates the consciousness of the audience, and then deeply imprints the mark of criticism. The most impressive places are the number of pedestrians, the excitement of the people during the trial of the heroine, and the joyful expressions of the children when they entered the White Bear Justice Park.
Second, the fate of the heroine. According to normal thinking, the heroine is indeed a child abuse murderer. She and her fiancé planned to kidnap the little girl and burn her to death. This kind of behavior is indeed very sinful, and the report at the final trial also said that her punishment should be increased, which directly formed the formation of the "White Bear" theme park. It's just that, arranging a sinner to end up like a beast caught in a circus, becoming a plaything to entertain the audience, going through a cycle of constant psychological and physical double torture, does this meet the "Justice" II of "White Bear Justice Park"? Character? Is this kind of behavior of people also abuse and crime against the heroine?
I guess the film doesn't answer that question either, because for reality, it's really full of controversy. But when it states the crime of the heroine, it uses all the suffering and the last wailing to show more sympathy for the misfortune of the heroine, which is probably enough.
Let me say here that many people also have certain doubts about whether the heroine is really a child abuser. I think the heroine is indeed a criminal. Those who questioned have some arguments. First of all, many of the heroine's memories were brainwashed by the White Bear organization, such as the pictures on TV. At the final trial, there was a report about the identity of the heroine, and this report could be Forged, because the report mentioned that the punishment for the heroine should be heavier is the media's one-sided statement, not the judge's direct judgment, so it is not convincing. I don't think this kind of argument is unreliable, but one thing is that when the uncle finally wiped the memory of the heroine, he let her brainwash the screen of the TV. He said, "This is all filmed by you, and the tone is very serious." angry. Because the heroine will soon be wiped out of memory, the uncle said this sentence has no meaning to instill thoughts, because a sentence is not repeated, so it will not have the effect of brainwashing, it must be true, the heroine is really murderer.
Third, for what modern technology has brought to people. This is actually a question that the entire Black Mirror has been asking. In this episode, it is divided into two points: one is the satire of reality shows like "White Bear Justice Park", I think there seems to be a trend not only in China, but all over the world, that various programs use various forms Make money with all kinds of thoughts, even if you don’t hesitate to lower the bottom line of morality again and again. Another point is that the mobile phone strengthens the communication between people and makes it easier and faster for people to record what happens around them, but on the other hand, the mobile phone has also become a tool for people to express indifference and abnormal desire, just like the heroine uses The process of shooting violence with mobile phones, and people's filming and watching of the heroine's experience. Black Mirror has been reflecting on the double impact of technology on human life.
Finally, I would like to say that I really like some scenes in this episode and the way the director shoots. Many details, such as the medicine on the ground, the markings on the calendar on the wall, the noise of the TV, the repeated "convex" mark, and the execution ground in the woods, the pursuit of the gunmen, the shots of all these elements, It was like a nightmare, full of tension and depression.
Such a deep and dramatic thriller, very, very much to my mouth.
