The first recommended movie in 2019, from Black Mirror Black Mirror: Bandersnatch has seen the entire series of Black Mirror to tell the truth, except that the first season gave me a big impact on my heart, I think the next two seasons may be mediocre Because the route involved in the script is too single, not only is the philosophical thinking highly routine, but also the Hollywood-style three-step narrative method makes me feel that watching movies is a bit like playing an automated mobile game. But the Black Mirror in this episode was completely beyond my expectations. Although I already knew his way of interacting with reality and virtuality in the trailer, I really didn't expect this kind of multiple storylines, and the flashback narrative really touched me and this movie. A kind of hyperspace interaction. It feels like I've watched "S. Theseus Ship" several times to find the unknown author Shichaka.
Next, let me list the places that I think touched me about this movie:
First, everyone's viewing base is different. First of all, I think this sentence contains a certain ideology. Can you accept it? (There are also some bloody scenes in it) So I think some settings of this film are very important. First of all, the tone of the film originated from a book - which happens to be the name of this episode of Black Mirror, "Bandersnatch" Author Jerome F Davis The identity setting of Jerome F Davis is a writer who beheaded his wife, which is the kind of behavior that is incomprehensible to ordinary people for the sake of art. A story in the film Line, the male protagonist also killed his biological father, but in this film, the male protagonist and male 2 (Colin) spoke highly of Jerome F Davis, calling him someone who was beyond the timeline. In fact, when I saw this setting, the first thing I thought of was an alternative movie "Born to Kill" in 1994. The reason why I immediately thought of it was because it was the first time I saw a story about being able to tell the law of the jungle well. , based on understanding the law of the jungle, so let's take a look at the act of killing a wife for art (the statement in the film is that Jerome F Davis denies that he killed his wife, but is out of control, from another time and place The person asked him to make such a decision) I read Greek mythology before, and I always wondered about the so-called gods in it, because they also cheat like people, and have illegitimate children, hatred and jealousy, but this does not affect us to think of him. It is such an identity of God. Later, I read this sentence from Mr. Mu Xin: before human nature was animal nature, then pantheism, and then god, so the gods in Greece belong to pantheism and also have human things in them. What I want to talk about is the reason why humans are different from animals. The difference is that human beings have human nature, not the strong prey like animals, so I think this setting here is to explore the animal nature and pantheism that exist in addition to human nature. Even if people are very rational, the animal nature cannot be completely eliminated, just like The Greek gods could not completely remove humanity, so they arrived at pantheism. When Jerome F Davis kills his wife, we can think that there are always 1% of the people who follow the law that may be the law of the jungle, human nature or theism.
Second, the narration of multiple story lines reminded me immediately of "S. The Ship of Theseus". In this film, the male protagonist has the right to choose at many points that are considered key, which means that countless possibilities can be created. The reason, but here I want to talk about when I watch the ship of Theseus, there is also a symbol (symbol S) running through it and the thief of fate in the film - the male protagonist of the ship of the demon Pax Theseus is a People with amnesia go into various adventures inexplicably in order to find their own identity. The corresponding film is this Bandersnatch developed by the male protagonist. You have no right to choose. Your identity is based on the settings given to you by others. If I don’t think it’s possible, you will come back and get another identity. From the beginning to the end, you will feel that you will be a person who can repeat infinitely and have countless avatars, but this person is not you. The resulting philosophical proposition of free will
Third, let’s talk about the philosophical proposition of free will. Let me first talk about the extension of the ship of Theseus (because I think this will better understand the metaphor of some words in the film). The source of the philosophical proposition of the ship of Theseus, Plutarch asked a question in the 1st century AD: If the wood on the ship of Theseus is gradually replaced until all the wood is not the original wood, then the ship is still the original Is it that ship? First, if you go to Lenovo, all decisions of a person can be made again like Bandersnatch, then whether such a choice is still the one you really wanted to make in the first place. Second, the ship of Theseus was a labyrinth built to go to Icarus' father. This labyrinth was trapped by a man-eating monster. This labyrinth was built by even the builder, Icarus' father, Minos himself. A maze from which one cannot get out. Corresponding to what Colin said in the film: Pac-Man is actually a planner and a controller. The whole game is a metaphor. He thinks he has free will, but he is actually trapped in a maze, trapped in a system and can only eat and eat. The devil chasing him is probably him What would happen if he escaped from the side of the labyrinth? He immediately went back to the labyrinth from the other side and everyone thought it was a happy game but it wasn't that it was a nightmare The world was the worst part was that the world was real and we were all hiding in it and then in the movie Colin another paragraph: the government Surveilling people paying people to pretend your relatives are drugging your food and filming you If you've seen "The Truman World" I think you'll get a sense of the picture soon. I have to say that Colin is like a game NPC here, and he himself praised Jerome F Davis as a superhuman. This also indirectly shows that Colin is a kind of person, and the so-called falling into the hole of the male protagonist is actually trapped in the maze.
Fourth, on the proposition of free will, I first came into contact with Nietzsche's Dionysian and Sun-gods. The history of human society seems to be always subject to two basic impulses: one is the expression of individual inner emotions, which is what Nietzsche called the "Dionysian spirit"; The so-called "Sun God spirit. These two impulses represent two basic philosophical views of life: go to the world, so pursue success; go to the heart, so expect to surpass (I directly move Baidu Encyclopedia) In fact, there are many philosophies, not only utopias. Such a state, so I don't want to discuss it too much. Then I just want to see the results of the film based on this theory, which is what the male protagonist said to the psychiatrist at the end: Now I can really work with a sense of meaning, There has also been a real breakthrough in the game, the predicament I was in before, but now I can see clearly that I always wanted to give players too many choices, so I turned back and there were many choices. Now they think they have free will, but the ending is actually the psychology of my decision. The doctor asked: Is it a Happy ending? The hero replied: I think so. In Greek mythology, How did Theseus get out of the labyrinth of Minos? Relying on Princess Ariadne (the princess had a crush on Theseus) A ball of string, teach him to tie one end of the ball to the entrance of the maze, and then follow the rolling ball of string to move forward. After killing the monster, follow the line to come out. The answer is that simple.
In the end, one of the things that I find more interesting than free will is what Colin said: People think there is only one reality, but there are many roots that intertwine our actions along a route that affect Other routes Time is a construct. People think they can't go back to the past to change things, but they can actually flash back memories. This is the case. They invite people to go back in time and make different choices.
When you make a decision, you think it's your own decision. It's not so, but the souls connected to our world decide what we want to do. We just need to follow the flow. When we first read this sentence, we think of parallel time and space. I think of the reincarnation of Buddhism. We may have become Buddhas in our previous life, but we feel that we can come down and experience another identity. When we were reincarnated, we drank Meng Po soup and forgot the memories of our previous life, so we are here. A lifetime is to evoke the memories of our past lives through constant contact with other people and things. Corresponding to the film, through flashbacks of memory, we found out that many things were actually made. You thought it was your choice, but it was not. The film shows that the male protagonist can go back to the past to help him get the doll when he was a child, so he will die in the future because of this choice.
It was really fun. Yesterday, I was discussing with my friends about Bi Zhifei's "Dream Chasing Showbiz" about his multi-line narration method. I'm sorry, although the filming is not very good, the script is not good, and the entry point is not good, but it's really good. The idea of not affecting him is really amazing! So, am I supposed to have cleaned up Director Bi Zhifei? hahahahaha
