I replayed this episode three times. Every time I look at that strange feeling, it becomes more and more terrifying. On the surface, this is a story of punishing evil and promoting good. People use the mind of extracting and cutting prisoners to solve cases, and the hacker who illegally used the technology (let's call it that) was punished for it - blocked by everyone, although he helped the police solve the case. Everyone is happy, the way of heaven is reincarnated, what's wrong?
Watching the last clip again, the detective jokingly adjusted the prisoner's thinking time to 1 minute to perceive 1,000 years, and began to backtrack on the hackers who helped them. Yes, the hackers hated by the police don't take human minds for a profit. Did the detective treat his mind as a human being? nor. Even more ruthless and contemptuous. The alienation of human nature can be seen from this. Likewise, the murderer certainly deserved it. But what about her wife who betrayed him? After the act of betrayal, he pressed the button with tears in his eyes to block her husband and evaded all responsibility. Legally she was fine, but morally? At this time, the convenience provided by technology reflects its terrifying side. It easily simplifies the entanglement of the world and shields the moral right and wrong. It is only designed to protect the bottom line of the law.
Will technology reduce morality and alienate human nature? Of course, technology can even change the world and the universe, not to mention human beings themselves? In what direction is that heading? The whole point of Black Mirror is on this issue.
