As a half-hearted media person and science fiction fan, what do I think of

Braeden 2022-03-19 09:01:02

The shock of the black mirror was so great that I kept thinking of every story in my mind.
I even had a nightmare-dreaming of an angry jealous man throwing his girlfriend upside down into a river. The woman fell into the water, her head was hit by an abandoned billboard in the river, turned around 180 degrees, and then she was chipped off by a sharp edge. In the final picture, the woman's head, face up, floating on the green river, is constantly being enlarged and close-up.
This dream is too scary and weird. However, the scene of the woman falling into the river was probably also affected by the "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins".
Back to the topic.
--The beginning of the story of
ep1 is
just the same as many crime-solving stories. Before Susanna said the kidnapper's request, I was eating the egg pudding while thinking nonchalantly, you guys, what conditions do they have to meet?
Until the restricted content came out, I felt that the egg pudding I ate didn't taste right.
The Internet is so powerful that once it is published, there is no information that can be concealed. Delete one and come out six; build a wall and the people will turn it over.
I originally thought that the kidnapper’s goal was to lose the Prime Minister’s face. But this idea is too naive, isn't it?
What he wants is to take advantage of the penetration of the media in the current era to make an open performance art. Eventually he himself became a part of performance art.
If this is a small story for readers, then, at the end of the story, everyone should consciously turn off the TV, and no one will watch the prime minister do nasty things.
However, the reality is cruel. Therefore, there are scenes of different people watching the live broadcast in different places in the story.
The influence of the media is exaggerated in this story. In addition, the unheard of kidnapping in the story also raised two questions for the newsman-whether or not to report this matter and how to report it.
At the end of the story, the news reported that the prime minister seemed to be back on track, but at No. 10 Downing Street, only the prime minister was alone.
Just like, some effects cannot be completely eliminated, and some scars cannot leave marks. At the beginning of the episode of

ep2,
I thought of two sci-fi works: "Time Planning Bureau" and "Escape from the Clone Island".
Uniform uniforms and life are very similar to "Escape from the Clone Island"; and the "points" in circulation are very similar to "Time Planning Bureau".
This is a deformed society:
people discriminate against fat people-if they are obese, they can only do cleaning work, wear yellow uniforms, and be treated as enemies by bodybuilders in games and objects of ridicule and insult in shows. . And people with fit bodies are densely packed in huge buildings. Everyone is a machine and lives the same life-they pedal virtual currency on spinning bikes, and then conduct real or virtual transactions. They are isolated from the outside world, and their only outlet is a talent show.
This kind of life is so dull! It's so dull that I feel desperate as a viewer.
The world in which people live in the play is all man-made, and even the apples are probably cultivated in the laboratory. The beauty in human nature has been reduced to the lowest point, love is not a plot, and cute origami is treated as rubbish.
However, everyone succumbed to such a world with peace of mind.
In order for his goddess to show off his singing talents, the little black brother bought a ticket for the talent show for the goddess, and he instantly turned from being handsome and rich into a hanging silk. Unexpectedly, the goddess was forced to become a prostitute on the stage.
The society in the story looks absolutely absurd, but the various scenes in the story that seem to be familiar with imply a great irony of modern society. People have their own avatars in this story. Although the actions of these avatars in the audience are the real appearance of the user, it is still inevitable that the world will be doing prostitution together behind this mask, in the presence of numb booing. Of spectators.
The value of the whole society is to ride a bicycle, and then consume. Whether it is buying virtual equipment or skipping overwhelming advertisements that encourage consumption, virtual currency is needed.
When the black buddies who turned into hanging silk saw the pornographic advertisements of their goddess, they hit the wall in pain because they didn't have the money to "skip the advertisements," and I felt painful.
In the end, the black brother went crazy and entered the draft show. I naively thought that his hidden weapon was to murder the judges who run pornographic shows and instigate women to miss the show.
In the end, he just threatened everyone to listen to him with his own life. However, he criticized and cursed the system, but in the end he was still applauded by the system. He was full of anger, but was easily bought by the judges. In another episode of Crazy Tucao by the black brother, I thought he would finally complete his suicide and wake up the world, but I didn't expect that everything was just acting.
Those who want to subvert the system are still reduced to the plaything of the system.
At the end of the story, the protagonist faces a natural landscape with birds flying over the forest, but it is obvious that it is just a bigger room and a bigger screen. He did not find his goddess, and the audience did not see the so-called "outside world".

As a questionable person, I have always been puzzled by the setting of cycling. I thought the story would explain it, but judging from the lines of the black brothers, people in this society don’t know what they are cycling. for what.
(I guess it is to provide energy for the operation of society, but this method of converting biological energy into electricity will be less efficient, right? I don’t understand this question><) Then
I think, the society in the story is really a dictator’s paradise , As long as we brainwash people and let them settle in the virtual world, in order to satisfy their low-level desires, they can only be stuck on bicycles all day long. No one pursues higher knowledge, no one rises up to resist.
There are so many things that can be interpreted in the second episode. Personally think it is the most awesome episode! The setting of

ep3
this episode is memory storage. However, the plot is very bloody, the man's wife and ex-boyfriend are having an affair or something.
If people’s experiences are fully recorded and can be shown to others or browsed by others during security checks, then there will be no privacy in this society. All facts, no matter how ugly and tiny, will be captured by people keenly. The protagonist of the story has such a keen observation power, and he also relied on this kind of "insight" to finally unearth the truth of his wife's derailment.
However, is he happy when he gets the truth?
He is not happy. He was drunk and caused trouble, and finally lost his wife (the contrast of the tones of the picture seems to have such a hint).
In a world where the truth can be easily revealed, it is really a stupid thing to cover a lie with a lie!
Covering a lie with a lie is always a stupid thing.
---
Every episode of this British drama has a feeling of depression after watching it, because the plot always develops unexpectedly, and logically develops in a desperate direction.

    The third episode really chilled me, especially when combined with recent personal experience. Memory is the most precious wealth and the most terrifying enemy. I really hope that Grain will allow me to delete the things I don't want to keep and live my future life without burden.
