I haven't written the Black Mirror series for a long time. In this issue, I want to talk about its "Christmas Special"
Compared with the first and second seasons of Black Mirror, the opening of the third season is really not too amazing, so I skip to the special chapter. Fortunately, it didn't disappoint.
Recommended index: 4 and a half stars
The special chapter is a bit like the theatrical version. It combines some of the black technologies of the previous works to generate a bigger brain hole.
That is the copy of consciousness.
If people can copy their own consciousness and transplant it out of the body, then this copy with subject consciousness can serve mankind indefinitely.
There is a virtual you, with all your memories and abilities, knowing your thoughts, and possessing all your emotions and sorrows. This is a more terrifying technology than cloning.
Let's take a look at how big the screenwriter's brain hole is.
At the beginning of the story, the male protagonist woke up in the room, and the music played by his roommate was very loud, so he went to close it.
The roommate said today is Christmas, why don't we have a chat.
The male protagonist obviously has no interest in chatting.
The roommate kept persuading, and also took the initiative to tell his own story.
Sure enough, this aroused the male protagonist's interest.
It turned out that the roommate's profession was to help introverted clients pick up girls through remote guidance.
From helping to choose clothing, to using big data to obtain information on contacts, so as to choose the right topic.
Through the screen seen through the male protagonist's pupils, the roommate can remotely control the male protagonist to flirt with the girl.
This dating service looks like it's one hundred percent.
The introverted man really caught the girl's attention, and the other party took the initiative to invite him home.
Hearing this, the male protagonist asked, will you continue to see their follow-up through the male protagonist's pupils?
Masculinity is rightly saying, what do you think I am.
But it turns out he's really not a good guy.
Because he not only watched it himself, but also paid other diaosi to watch it together.
But the reversal came too quickly, and there was no such thing as the expected bliss. Instead, the girl poured a large glass of poison. It turned out that the girl had already endured enough black technology, and her life was monitored by many people, pointing to her despair.
She wants to escape this world with an introvert.
The roommate and other online people were all scared to pee, but the roommate ordered everything to be deleted immediately.
However, the matter still let his wife know.
The wife could not accept her husband's meanness and shielded him.
Shielding is another powerful tool in this black technological society, and it can be called the strongest cold violence.
After being blocked, you cannot see or hear the other party.
The shielding is usually one hour, but it can also be started for a long time.
The roommate asked the male protagonist at this time, have you tried to be blocked?
The male protagonist seems to be touched, but still refuses to tell his story.
At this time, his roommate asked him to guess his real occupation.
It turned out that he was also a person who helped train the copy of consciousness.
Black technology can help people replicate their own consciousness and store it in an artificial intelligence machine.
The copy of consciousness that was taken out watched in horror as it left the body, it did not think it was a copy,
Threatening his roommate to put him back into his body.
But her roommate told her cruelly that you were just a piece of code.
And you were born just to better serve the ontology, because no one knows you better than yourself.
The copy of consciousness was in the smart space, and she wanted to resist at first, but her roommate was able to freely control the speed of her space, allowing her to experience a 3 weeks of idleness, or even 6 months.
The copy compromised because she couldn't stand living in nothingness.
So she began to live the days of arranging things for the main body every day, even if she was enslaved and bored, she was willing to work.
How ironic, like our reality.
In a life of constant search for meaning, accepting boring work is all about being less idle.
Back to the plot, the male protagonist questioned that the roommate was too cruel.
But the roommate said, you are too kind.
The male protagonist denied it, saying that he was not a good person.
Finally, he began to tell his own story.
The relationship between the male protagonist and his wife was very good at first, but when the male protagonist knew that the female protagonist knew that he was pregnant, he deliberately drank alcohol and was unwilling to have children.
The two broke up, and the heroine also blocked the hero.
The male protagonist is very angry and very sad, because of the shielding, he cannot contact her, and even the relevant images and descendant information are blocked.
Later, the male protagonist met his wife by chance and found that she had left the child behind, but the male protagonist who could only see the blurred image could only know that he had a daughter, but he could not see her appearance.
Until the wife dies, the shielding function fails.
The male protagonist is sad, but happy to finally see his daughter.
But I didn't expect that my daughter turned out to be Asian.
It turned out that he was a happy father.
The angry male protagonist killed his father-in-law, and the girl went out in the snow to save her grandfather, and finally froze to death.
The hero finally confessed everything.
At this moment, the roommate cheered and disappeared.
It turned out that he used the black technology of the copy of consciousness to guide the things that the criminal male protagonist refused to admit.
The so-called closed together for 5 years is just an illusion of the speed of the roommates.
In the end, the male protagonist was brought to justice.
I feel that with this black technology, there will be no more criminals who can't open their mouths.
Although the roommate used black technology to help catch the male protagonist, he concealed the murder case and was left behind.
Since then, it has been blocked by everyone, and will no longer see anyone or hear any sound.
The male protagonist's copy of consciousness is trapped in the space to receive never-ending mental torture.
Will the development of science and technology really bring progress to human society?
It seems that a series of brain hole films and future films have no hope for this conjecture.
It is ironic that people invented machines and were manipulated by machines.
