It is said that the romance between the prime minister and the pig is not at all creative, but "the material provided by the prime minister is good". Two days ago, there were friends talking about how the British media disclosed the matter "gracefully" and tried to sneak it into the daytime news but failed to anecdotes. This is our first impression of Black Mirror: extreme absurdity, irony, dark humor, tight and suspenseful rhythm.
After Netflix got its hands on it, it really tasted bad. I'm not someone who believes in the food chain of "British dramas look down on American dramas", but this time, from British dramas to "American dramas", it has indeed lost some of its most important flavors: this season's "Black Mirror" , became straightforward.
What do you mean by Yingfan? Behind the gentleman's tone, there is actually a kind of subtlety, forbearance, and even distance. I secretly think that there are people who practice "politeness" in social life, and people who think it is good to be straightforward (we can map British culture and American culture in a slightly narrow and politically incorrect way), after all, there are ideologically different. This difference is reflected in literature and drama, and it is precisely this difference that causes the difference in the perception of "Black Mirror" before and after -
it is cold, melancholy, and slowly allows the audience to slowly learn from the real scenes and performances, Become more entertaining, exaggerated, straightforward, and even redundant. (Or maybe, for Charlie Brooker, who has doubled her workload, wrapping the story with candy-colored scenes, romance, horror elements, etc. saves time and effort.) Forgot to hear it somewhere, says European Court The online box office is dominated by American films, because American films have more big-name stars (whose job is to make stars), simpler plots, less half-half by one-third, and more popular vocabulary.
But for "Black Mirror", the more popular and more popular changes have destroyed the truth of the previous straightforward narrative, and the shudder caused by this sense of reality. You could say Black Mirror is science fiction, but it's all about human nature. "Technology is wonderful, humans are horrible and always use them in the worst possible way". The main creator Charlie Brooker interprets the title of "Black Mirror" as "the cold, shiny screen on the device we rely on so much", but the image of "mirror" obviously also implies the darkness of people reflected by technology. In Black Mirror, technology is just a magnifying glass for the corruption of human nature - and in that sense, it's true that this season has not changed, except that when we heard the old lady's lecturing dialogue in the first episode, no matter what At the end, I can no longer feel the shock of my heart sinking.
In addition to the authenticity of the creative means, the reflection it brings is precisely that the creators did not tease or satirize our emotions. Rather, it is incredibly honest about human desires and feelings. So, this season, I see again that the most dangerous thing is not anger, selfishness, or even smugness, but the contempt that comes with self-inflation. Whether this contempt makes you think you have the right to judge others in any social situation, to exercise ultimate justice, or to alienate the "other" into a monster.
This contempt leads us to believe that we have total control over our world, both inside and out, through technology. And this could be the beginning of all disasters.
