7/10
Bandersnatch takes its name from a novel. When author Davis was writing this novel, he took hallucinogens every day. In addition, in order to complete the complex and multiple narratives in the novel, he eventually broke down and thought he was right. Fate was out of control, and his wife gave him a lot of psychoactive drugs under the direction of the lion-shaped demon. Davis killed his wife and cut off her head. After his arrest, Davis argued to the police that we exist in multiple parallel realities at the same time, that any action we do has an opposite choice in another parallel time and space, that free will is an illusion, and that all actions are innocent. Those actions are not even your own choice, but are dictated by others.
In the process of adapting the novel into a game, the programmer protagonist in the movie kept repeating the fate of Davis, and finally found that he was just a puppet manipulated in the game.
The movie claims to have revolutionized the way of watching movies through interactive movie viewing. The full version of the plot can only be viewed on the Netflix platform. As the plot progresses, each key plot point is left to the audience to make their own choices, and different choices will lead to different follow-up plots and endings. There are five endings in the online movie (some say seven, ten, or even more), all of which are more than 500 minutes long. The currently downloaded resources are basically the 93-minute version, that is, after making choices, follow one of the processes. The story of walking down.
The question of how to judge the boundary between the real world and the virtual world is easily reminiscent of movies such as Truman's world and The Matrix, but Black Mirror did not discuss it, but just used this introduction to play the concept of interactive movies. In the form of content service, under such a purpose, the plot seems too obscure. If there is no foreshadowing and preparation, there will be a feeling of confusion after watching it, which is also the reason for the low score.
