This season's Black Mirror rating has collapsed. Before watching it, I thought that this show could not escape the law of downhill. This season must be very hip. But after watching it, I feel that this season is actually still the original Black Mirror, which is actually not that bad.
So I want to correct the name of this season a little bit and see if there are fat friends who have the same opinion as me.
First of all, I think this series is attractive for two main reasons. The first is how the information is presented. The Black Mirror in my impression has never given you a lot of information at the beginning. The beginning of each episode is filled with a lot of inexplicable empty mirrors, characters and dialogues, making you feel like a blind person touching an elephant. This show never suddenly shows you a lot of information at a certain point, but as time progresses, it shows the amount of information little by little, and finally makes you realize it. The advance is slow to heat but the aftertaste is endless.
The second point is that the focus of Black Mirror is not on technology, but on people. The name of the black mirror is also intriguing. What are the human nature and ethics in the black mirror of technology? This is what the Black Mirror series explores.
In fact, the core of this season still follows these two points. I feel that the only slot is that the technology in the second and third episodes is not cool enough? But in fact, I think the social media in the second season and the AI robot in the third season are closer to the current level of technology, too real and thought-provoking.
Let's start with the second episode that I feel the most deeply. Can you make an episode of this shit? Can you touch porcelain Twisted Teng if you crash while playing with your mobile phone? I think this episode is the closest to reality besides the absurd. There are quite a few details in it that are really intriguing.
The first detail is the end of the film. When the news came out, many people picked it up and took a look, and then continued to do their own thing. It's just too realistic to cause discomfort. No matter how big the news is, the attitude of ordinary people is just to eat melons. After eating this melon, there are bigger melons that will steal the limelight from this melon. The big melons of big people will also be forgotten over time. For example, can you remember the hot search last month, not to mention small people like male protagonists. In fact, there is no doubt about the death of the male protagonist, and there is no splash at all, except for the two lines of tears of his relatives, which have no effect.
The second detail is Ma Hua Teng Xiuxian. Is it a global consensus that Internet bigwigs want to get rid of electronic products and go to the old forest Xiuxian in the mountains? hhhh. And we ordinary people are just captives of electronic products. As the big guy said, many apps are developed to be addictive. Those who can control themselves under the influence of these apps are not ordinary people, but ordinary people with average willpower (including me) are willing to be captured, accept all kinds of fragmented news pushed by social media, and spend a day in front of the screen. One day, I was terrified. But the male protagonist dares to use this point to touch porcelain, which is both dramatic and ironic. In the final analysis, using the screen for ten hours a day is his own choice, isn't it? Who can complain? Can we blame app developers for our willingness to spend our lives on hand chickens? Harmful. Many people really want to throw away their mobile phones and return to life, but they can't help sending a few. The fragmented information of the mobile phone is easy to accept. If the brain is used to obtaining information without any effort, it will become impatient with any delayed satisfaction, unable to read a book, put down the mobile phone before going to bed, or even watch the slow heat of Black Mirror. The show is impatient. horrible. Phones are the worst enemy of productivity. The bottom line is to advise everyone to remember to look at their mobile phones while driving and watching their relatives while walking.
The third detail is the talking points that Ma Huateng called his assistant. Including the situation of the negotiator. Laugh out loud. The first one I hear you. The second empathize. The negotiator was taken away by the male protagonist with one mouthful. Think about how many books of this kind of communication chicken soup you have read, maybe it will be useful in some occasions. But the real communication depends on sincerity, and everyone is not a fool. These routines can deceive children. too real.
In short, this episode is actually far from bad. Things are broken, but the irony is stronger.
