In order to watch the special edition of Black Mirror, I bought netflix and accelerator, and spent 20 dollars with extremely high expectations. I was slightly disappointed that my expectations were not met, and the rating was three and a half stars. The following is the intuitive feeling recorded in the mobile phone while watching.
1. The interactive experience is novel and the attention is very concentrated.
2. The concept and design are very good: you control the characters, the characters can feel controlled by you, and the games designed in the character play are also controlled by the characters in the play, and the three levels are unified.
3. The plot of the story is generally conceived, the ideas are not very clear, the overall atmosphere is not oppressive and dark enough, and it does not look smooth.
4. There are a little more dead ends to choose from, often returning to a certain point in the past to re-select, a bit of drama, coupled with the very unsmooth Internet speed that often freezes, I look a little tired from the back, and I feel that the option X must be selected. No settings, less dead ends, more fluid.
5. But it can be felt that the setting of the dead end cycle has two purposes: one is to make the story more comprehensive, to explain more details and possibilities, and to reflect the dark characteristics of "Black Mirror" through its content; the other is to correspond to the movie. One of the main themes I want to embody: the multiple possibilities and storylines that exist in parallel worlds.
6. That's right, it's such an intention and arrangement, which reflects that different choices have completely different development directions of the story. Even if you make the same choice back, the story will develop differently, and there are thousands of possibilities.
7. To borrow the words of the male protagonist: You seem to have the right to choose freely in the game, but the ending is determined by me.
8. This is really a drama, not a movie. I've watched it for three hours. I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep.
9. There is a contradiction in the arrangement of this play: the original intention of the arrangement is to let the audience have the right to choose the plot and make the protagonist feel controlled by you (the protagonist's sense of depression and program and control study come from a higher level future you), but you can't actually choose and control characters and plot development.
10. At the end of the second day, the ending reflects the mutual influence of multiple parallel worlds, which opened the heart of the boy. There was a time in the middle that the ending seemed to come, but when I finished playing the cast list, I was asked to choose again. After I chose, there was another possibility and a story line. This is the final ending I saw.
Overall feeling: The plot arrangement in content is a bit chaotic and a little empty; in terms of form, the interactive idea is good, but the experience is not very good, it is not refined, and the sense of integration is not strong. Hope to do better in the future.
