This film is similar to "The Truman World". If the world you live in is just a virtual game, and your actions are controlled by players outside the world, what if you don't have free will? You die over and over again, restart over and over again, and commit crimes and murders in a game that is extremely realistic, complex, and the characters have a high degree of autonomous intelligence according to the player's control. Will you crash? In the future, when AI technology is sufficiently complex and advanced, the virtual characters in it will really have self-awareness, and the game world designed is as complex, delicate, infinitely explorable, and indistinguishable from the real world as the real world, so many people may simply choose Most of the time, I indulge in it and enjoy the virtual but real pleasure.

Isn't the physical world we live in a game? The self-consciousness in our mind is actually the true essence of the self. Our appearance, body and property are actually just a game character controlled by the "self + instinct complex". It's just that in the game called "life" in the physical world, there is no regret medicine to take, and life cannot be restarted...

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?
