Use linear logic to deduce nonlinear space-time

Although I don’t like the extremely oppressive expression of this film, it is rare to be able to use linear logic to explain the subtle relationship between the infinite possibilities in infinite linear time and space and the given life choices.

We have choices at every moment, leading to all infinite possible timelines, but at the same time it seems that a higher being or force is planning these possibilities. For example, if the plan is to go through a seemingly failure experience, then the choice is limited to the need to serve the failure-oriented experience. No matter how hard the protagonist tries, it is a seemingly failed experience, but in fact, it is a successful life plan.

It's risky for a movie to highlight these themes in a way that's repeated over and over again, but fortunately it's rated okay. However, it is estimated that no investor has the courage to introduce the film in the Chinese mainland market.

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch quotes

  • Dr. Haynes: The past is immutable, Stefan. No matter how painful it is, we can't change things. We can't choose differently with hindsight. We all have to learn to accept that.

  • 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.
