Today I watched the bendersnatch in black mirror talking about the game
Stephen has always felt that he or his father killed his mother due to his childhood trauma, but I think the image of mother is likely to be created by his father. Every time at the beginning, the dog next door will appear in the yard So, my father called out angrily. In the first scene, my father said "it the death of us." I wonder if there is a possibility that my father buried my mother under the flower pond? Then why plant flowers again? Not because they were buried under the flower, but because they were uneasy and planted the flower.
There is a possibility that the father made up the story of this toy, subtly repeated, and repeated the reason for the death of the mother, and also found a "psychiatrist" to heal the wounds of the male protagonist. In the second act, the male protagonist is working as a psychotherapist, and it is obvious that the psychiatrist is emphasizing the death anniversary of his mother, making him indulge in the pain of his mother's death. She said, "It's diffuclut time of year for you. We cant underestimate that." Including the medicine prescribed by the doctor, is it related to his father? Or maybe it wasn't his father, and he was just a subject of an experiment. Through his conversation with the psychiatrist, his father learned about his situation.
The game is based on Dives' book, which has many different parallel worlds, or storylines. In Colin's words, "A lot of divergent reliaties in that book. It was ahead of its time. In as much as time exists." The world we live in makes decisions that are made by other worlds. We have no agency in the world in which we exist, but can determine other worlds, but these consequences are not borne by us in this world. Is there any free will, and whether the decisions we make in the past or in the future are determined by everything that has come before? Is it the only decision we can make? The character of Colin is set to make the male protagonist realize that he is being controlled. Colin gave Stephen the videotape of Dives, and the prototype of the monster in Dives' book came from his wife, who gave him a lot of psychotropic drugs, and in Stephen's life, the "psychiatrist" and his father prescribed the drug to him. In his game, the monster starts out as a monster, and in later versions becomes a man. Is that based on the archetype of the father? Dives kills his wife, and in one scene Stephen kills his father. And I think it happened for real, not a dream or an illusion.
There are many clips in which dreams and reality switch back and forth, accompanied by back and forth stroy lines, making it difficult to distinguish which is real and which is illusory
"I am watching you on Netflix" appears in one scene, does this have the taste of watching fire from the other side? Filming Stephen's suffering and suffering to please the public, for commercialization, for profit? Will everything built on moral foundations fall apart?
Looking at it for the second time, I found the PAC (program and control) that has been with it from the beginning. For example, when Stephen was demonstrating the game demo, Colin mentioned the Worship demo, and Stephen did not write the timeline of his basis, while we already talked last semester, it appears due to the entertainment, however no matter how we jump or choose, everything is code, is already programmed. There is always an outcome that is preset, like when we get to the end of alley, it will Reminder end of the road. In the play, the male protagonist does not want to work under the supervision of the big boss, but when doing psychotherapy, the male protagonist feels as if he is being monitored, which is also paving the way for his father's monitoring of him in the next story line. And each scene ends with a TV or two, so does that foreshadow the father or the audience watching him?
Another point I want to say is that the storyline is repeated in it, just like Western World. In it, the female protagonist wakes up every morning, and her father asks her How was your sleep. The life routine of the doctor, etc., but every experiment is either rehearsal, or something actually happened, and the evaluation of his game on TV is different. Does this indicate that even if we want to put our Thinking that the "imperfect things" in our lives repeat, we can assume better. The male protagonist said "I should try again", but how can I throwback to that life and time in reality? We can neither experience the future in advance, nor go back to the past, nor rehearse nor presume, and live only once, as if we have never lived at all.
And when I was reviewing it for the second time, I finally found out why I kept repeating the "Look Door, Get Keys" shot. When I realized, I couldn't help but get goosebumps. It was the key to my father's secret room. Stephen just discovered the fact that he was being controlled and experimented.
