After reading it, it is very depressing,……………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ................................................................................................................................................................................................................ …………………………………… This movie is more like a plot game now. Looking at the degree of freedom is very high, in fact, there is no degree of freedom, there are perfect endings and imperfect endings. But in the end, the choice is still within the scope given by the author.

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch quotes

  • Stefan Butler: I've actually had a bit of breakthrough with the game. I think I'd got bogged down before, but now I can see.

    Dr. Haynes: So you finally finished it?

    Stefan Butler: Finished, delivered, everything. I'd been trying to give the player too much choice. So I just went back and stripped loads out. And now they've only got the illusion of free will, but really, I decide the ending.

    Dr. Haynes: And is it a happy ending?

    Stefan Butler: I think so.

  • Mohan Thakur: 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 things 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?
