This "Black Mirror Christmas Special" continues the terrifying and shuddering feeling in the past. It is not a story about ghosts and horrors. On the contrary, it is the application of future high-tech or relatively advanced technology. Small piece, let’s take a look at the changes in this world. You can understand it as the emergence of Alipay, WeChat, and Douyin. These new things have caused subtle changes to us, but maybe some of its functions are in some Under the application of the scene, there will be unique effects, such as blackmailing, or being cheated on borrowing or Huabei, or becoming popular overnight on Douyin. And Black Mirror will break through our imagination of the future reality even more.
The Christmas special can be divided into three small stories, but they are not independent of each other. It was a pair of middle-aged men who appeared in a log cabin. This log cabin seemed to be in a remote corner of the United States, and no one could be seen outside through the window. One of the two middle-aged men was named Potter and the other was named Matt. From Matt's tone, they seem to be old friends who have known each other for many years. Porter seems to be suffering from aphasia, he doesn't talk much, and everything feels weird. He was unfamiliar with Matt, as if he had lost his memory. Ask Matt what he does. Matt told him a story, about his emotional mentor, who helped some single men and women get their favorite people on a date. Matt is not following the customer, but installs a pinhole camera on the customer. Matt can see everything the customer sees with one end of the computer, and then voice commands the customer what to do next Actions. In fact, the first story is quite suspenseful and terrifying, that is, the otaku client managed to transfer a girl, but the girl should have depression or schizophrenia. When the two returned to the hotel room, the girl took two Glasses of juice, one of which was poured into the boy's mouth and made a sexy intimate gesture, and then the boy kept coughing and asked the girl, what did you give me to drink. Then the girl said "I know you and I feel the same trouble, there are a dozen people pointing fingers in their brains, I saw you were talking to them just now", and the boy said, "No, the one talking to me is Real people, what did you give me to drink?" The girl said, "It's for them." Then the girl dries the rest of the drink into it. As a result, both of them died and went into the news. Matt tried to destroy all this, because once it was exposed, it would be illegal. As a result, he told his wife about it. The wife didn't understand it, thought he was desperate, and had a big fight with him. And finally "blocked" him. This is a bit like the blockade of WeChat, that is, a virtual button appeared in the wife's hand. After clicking "block", Matt turned into a blurred ball in front of his wife, speaking and expressing It also turned into a vague mass, and only a rough and thick voice could be heard. Naturally, the same was true of his wife in front of Matt.
This is where the horror begins. Then the second story, Matt may have changed his career and sold a high-tech device to customers, which is to make a copy of the customer's consciousness through minimally invasive surgery, put it in a device, and then this copied consciousness becomes With the tool person, this device is related to the household appliances at home, it is a bit like the Mijia feeling, the tool person is responsible for giving the owner every day, such as waking up the owner, adjusting the curtains, indoor temperature, baking a bread, Make a cup of coffee, wait a minute, this duplicator understands what the owner wants, so she can precisely give the customer's needs. But for this clone, she felt that she was a real person, but being locked in a device, like being locked in a VR device, watching the outside world, she was very resistant at first. Matt punished her, he might turn off the screen and set the device for 3 weeks, that is, he really felt the time for 3 weeks for the copy person, and he passed it alone like this, but in fact, the outside world only lasted a few seconds. Bell, Matt's loaf of bread doesn't last long enough.
Maybe Potter was moved by these two stories. He started to tell his own story. After he was with his girlfriend and later his wife, his father-in-law disapproved very much, opposed to the two. Then there was another friend gathering. In fact, it was a girlfriend's colleague and a couple. It was a gathering of four people. The girlfriend's colleague was an Asian colleague. At the end of the party that day, Porter was collecting garbage when he found that his girlfriend's pregnancy test showed that she was pregnant. Potter was very excited and went to check with his girlfriend, but he didn't expect his girlfriend to be very resistant to this matter and didn't want the child. Potter had an argument with his girlfriend, wondering why she was like this. As a result, the girlfriend blocked herself. So this is really in line with reality, and if it doesn't agree, it will be blocked. Then Porter was very persistent, because his girlfriend disappeared and he quit his job. Porter kept looking for his girlfriend. Later, he found her and found that his girlfriend didn't kill the child. Porter was very excited and felt that his lover did not abandon the two. Crystallization, then the same reason will not abandon yourself. Porter tried to get close, and then his girlfriend called the police. The police and Porter signed an agreement not to be within ten meters of his girlfriend. Potter go crazy. Then he went outside the yard of his father-in-law's house, and finally saw his girlfriend again, and the child was born, but he couldn't get close, so he could only watch from a distance. However, one day, Porter saw his girlfriend in a car accident on TV, and the shield disappeared, and he was sad again. As a result, he went to the door of his father-in-law and saw his daughter, who was 3 or 4 years old. He walked in. As his daughter turned around, he found that it was an Asian face. Potter's repressed heart became distorted, extremely The pain, being cuckolded, and making himself a "perpetrator". So he broke into the room, questioned his father-in-law, and eventually smashed a vase at his father-in-law.
Father-in-law may have died because of this, and then Matt announced that Potter had finally confessed. It turned out that Matt entered this device to talk to Potter's copy of consciousness and let Potter confess. This is also a transaction between the police and Porter, because Matt's previous emotional mentor's "record" was also leaked, and the police let Matt go, but the punishment given to him was that he was blocked by everyone.
The harm this kind of shielding brings to people is too great, like being exiled on a deserted island full of people, you no longer communicate with them, and it becomes a real situation
