Season 5

The surprise of the fifth season lies in the shooting rhythm, but there are fewer surprises in the theme. The future wind is nothing more than discussing VR (the theme of the fourth season) and AI implementation technology, which is difficult to break through at the moment; but "Black Mirror" still needs to capture the current irony. The hot touch, the discussion of "truth" and "fake" and the entry point are very touching and hit the heart.

This season is no longer a visual or ideological shock, but an emotional shock to me. The details of life are magnified, and the injustices of the world are dissected clearly.

Narrative propositions are difficult to attract visuals, but the rhythm of this season is very well controlled, inserting a lot of golden sentences, so that the flat plot is reversed layer by layer, and the waves are up and down, which is also a highlight of this season.

5-1 "Fight for Life"★★★☆☆ Plot★★★★☆ A good friend uses future VR technology to become a real "friend", facing the reality of his wife in a dilemma rhythm★★★☆☆ Rhythm for the family It's not bad for an emotional film, the climax is a little delayed, and the last few reversals are very detailed pictures★★★★☆ The big scene in the virtual world is very beautiful. ☆☆☆ How to define the definition of cheating, is the reality of marriage always boring? In an era when reproduction is no longer the only goal of love, what is the difference between "love" between the same sex and "love" between the opposite sex?

5-2 "Fragments of Life" ★★★★☆ Plot★★★★☆ Being kidnapped by social networks, the protagonist made up his mind to find the rhythm of the founder of the social network because the "bow-headed people" let their loved ones leave. The rhythm is tight, the plot advancement is arranged properly, the scene switching and the interspersed appearance of the new characters will not make people dull Surprise meaning ★★★★☆ This is my favorite episode of this season. The voices of the little ones can't be heard no matter how roaring, and the people of the higher classes can "play God from time to time." The sentence "Please speak human words" under the collapse of the protagonist nakedly reveals the false face of modern society - "customer service" and the "intermediate" with too many formalities set up layers of barriers, and the communication of information is no longer true. Instead, relying on "routines" to try to quell all disputes, in fact, shirk responsibility. What is network information security? Is it worth giving up the real lover around you for a virtual screen?

5-3 "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Substitutes" ★★★☆☆ Plot★★★★☆ The mother died, the sisters were weak, and the sister found an AI friend. Unexpectedly, the AI ​​revealed that a singer was murdered. Case rhythm ★★★★★ The rhythm is set properly, multiple reversals will not be tough, the foreshadowing is in place, the plot advances the natural picture ★★★★☆ The scene setting atmosphere is rendered in place, and the large VR portrait stage scene matches the plot very shocking music★★★ ☆☆ After all, this is an episode about singers. Although the music is not my favorite style, it still has a very particular meaning. ★★★☆☆ The dark inside story of the entertainment industry; Is it a blessing or a curse that AI is too real and has human nature? When technology and big data can replace all human beings, including creativity, can creative workers only be reduced to the puppets of businessmen?
