Form is greater than content? Yes, but this is why I want to give five stars.

After tossing for an afternoon, it was really an immersive experience.

I finally got very frustrated, because I always go around in several similar endings. I always feel that there should be other endings. The anxiety and unwilling emotions oppress me, make me miserable, and make me suffer. I am looking forward and curious, making me want to give up, but I can't give up. I always want to find one, what should I say, a better ending? More meaningful ending?

But isn't this the feeling of life? I am always looking for it, turning around in the maze; I feel that there are other possibilities, but I feel that it is impossible; this and that, how similar each kind of day is, doubting these are meaningless, but clearly looking forward to the next step To something different; try, frustrate, stand still, and see new scenery; many choices are the same, maybe they are different; like walking one's own way, but also being a kind of Entrapped by gravity, he rushed to the destined place unhurriedly.

But I don’t think this is a bad user experience. I think it’s complicated and fascinating, painful and interesting, just like life.

I really like the depiction of fate in this film. Fate is not so clear as a black line. It is not that fate says you will kill your father and marry your mother, so you will kill your father and marry your mother. Destiny is a vague mist, a kind of magnetic field. You have many choices, you can turn around, thousands of different paths, but it seems to be moving in that direction all the time, sooner or later, in various forms. . Some choices will make you spin around in place, and finally have to go back and change your original intention, because you can't cross the range that fate allows you. That is a bondage, but it is also a kind of protection. You can achieve different endings, but the tone of each ending seems to be the same, vague and definite different ways to the same goal. Your choice is real, although it may be useless. Free will is an entertainment, an art, not a judgment.

I think the form of this film is indeed greater than the content, but it is completely commendatory. Isn't life just that form is greater than content? If you talk about content, what is the content, does it mean the finale? The finale is that we will all die. The disgusting and fascinating part of life lies in the thousands of different paths. You try and try, and gradually you have a feeling in your heart. Knowing where you are going is very worrying and very reassuring. At the same time, there will be some things that are really unexpected (such as fighting in the clinic, jumping out of the window to play or something), warm or ridiculous, suddenly popping out like an easter egg, making you can’t help but smile-it’s accidental The emergence of Zhuang Shengxiao’s dream butterfly-like epiphany, although it does not affect most of the time you are still in the labyrinth of destiny, but it is also a wonderful part of life.

This time I want to sing praises to Netflix and "Black Mirror". I was very dissatisfied with the fourth season, because I felt that the script no longer contained profound and innovative things, because I felt that the future of the play was worrisome. But unexpectedly, this time, Black Mirror relied on a breakthrough miracle of form to break through.

I understand the reason why some people criticize this book for "form is greater than content". It discusses nothing more than the existence of free will, the boundary between reality and illusion, the sense of destiny and meaninglessness, and the sense of being monitored in the era of big data. These black mirrors have been done, and if there is no new idea in the concept, it is really not a mistake. But this form is so fascinating. To downplay the importance of concept and content, to break through in form, I think this is a huge novelty in itself.

Finally, I beg Netflix to buy all the dramas whose endings make us resentful, and shoot us more endings!

Let him kiss him, let her go with her, let all that happen, let that all not happen... Let 10,000 parallel universes unfold before our eyes, I am willing to be like the hero (an ending), Finally saw the dream come true, and died contentedly in the dream Netflix created for us.

    The director wants to express the deep core, but in fact, it can be finished in half the time of the movie. A large number of repeated plots and scenes are of little significance. The obscure and strange atmosphere makes people want to vomit, which has completely erased the drama caused by contradictions. The effect, but the actors are a must, they actually feel completely in line with the tone and style of the movie, and the acting is online

    The live-action version of "Stanley's Fables", the subject matter is not new, but as a web drama created a precedent for interactive series (but to be honest, it is a game, if you have played or heard of "Super Seducer"), breaking the fourth The wall, and the boundaries between games and episodes. It is worth mentioning that this show does not have a constant world view, everyone's identity and every behavior will change with your choices. From step-by-step to constant death, you will be completely immersed in a story full of unknown and treacherous. There are at least five endings in this play, and the one that is most like the happy ending at present is a "Butterfly Effect" style ending: go back to the past and find the rabbit and her mother to take the 8:45 train together. The background music and colors are very warm, but in reality It's sitting in a psychiatrist's clinic. The film always emphasizes your so-called freedom, which is freedom in a maze, and even your so-called free will is given to you by others. It reminds me of Zion in The Matrix, where you think you've jumped out of a nightmare, but it's just another nightmare.

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?
