Technology is becoming more and more new, and at the same time of rapid progress, human thinking seems to follow its pace. This season's Black Mirror shows us what terrifying dark sides of human nature have been created by human society when technology has reached a certain level?
darker than ever
The first time I tried to do a movie review of a drama, I still wrote it slowly according to the analysis of a single episode. From the Paleolithic Age to today's information age, it is quite surprising how much everything in the world has changed and developed in just a few thousand years. During this period, the details and qualitative changes caused by human species are countless. These are all inevitable in the evolution of the universe. law. As for civilization, there is a consensus among the public that civilization progresses from bad to good, and many feudal ideological systems and human misdeeds are gradually improving from the improvement of the "rules of the earth", but there is an argument in this, It's obvious to all that things will get better, but what about the human mind? This season's Black Mirror gave an assumption and tried to refute the view from the bad to the good, from 6 stories set in the future world to show this picture full of malice, then we will slowly Slowly unroll this scroll and enter the world of dark mirrors.
EP1 : A story built on the cornerstone of "Star Trek", a genius game engineer invented a virtual interplanetary game, and established a game company with friends as CTO. He is not sociable and is not respected by the employees, so he collects the DNA of the employees who "offended" him in private. He has a set of personal game equipment and cloned the employees who "offended" him into the game "Calister" , he acted as the captain and tortured these clones. Finally, after a series of struggles, the employees in the game used their wisdom to escape the claws and left the consciousness of the CTO forever in the black hole in the game. Argument : The protagonist uses advanced game technology to build a private device, and reproduces everyone with DNA into the game. As a GM, he can do whatever he wants. From my subjective point of view, there is nothing wrong with this. Even if the characters in the game have independent consciousness (the body of the employees is alive in the real world), in fact, they are just a string of codes. , there is no life, then the argument comes, is it a crime to commit a crime (power domination) in a virtual world against a string of conscious codes? Leaving this aside, on the contrary, the code in the game leaves the male protagonist in the black hole and indirectly kills the male protagonist. Is this deprivation of life? Black Mirror threw us a big question, what is the legal position of the game code with independent awareness of real-world characters? Looking at the continuous improvement of game AI, maybe this is a question that should be considered in the future. .

EP2 : It's an old topic. This episode tells about the "surveillance" protection formed by the mother's over-indulgence of the child. What's different this time is that the mother participated in the "Archangel" plan to implant the chip in her daughter's body to connect the human body. Nerves, through the tablet, you can see the vision of the implanted person, and feel the physical condition of the implanted person, similar to various current watch products. The more excessive the control, the only result will be counterproductive. As in previous cases, the sick mother was hated by the rebellious daughter, resulting in a tragic death.
Argument : Whenever I encounter this kind of topic, I will always be grateful to my parents for the free-range education that gave me ample time and freedom of behavior. I consider myself to be in line with the correct three views in society. This led me to have some prejudice against some serious mother and baby children. Most of these people have morbid problems in their minds, or they suppress and prevent it from erupting. Watching the eruption of a volcano is bound to happen. Such people either Respawn in burst, or die in hiding. It's no different from this film, and the result is only a lose-lose. Excessive spoiling brings a child only to teach him how to kill himself.

EP3: A man and a woman hit and killed a man while traveling. At the man's strong request, the woman compromised and did not call the police and threw the body together. Years later, the heroine already has a family business. At this time, her boyfriend from many years ago came to the door and told her that she wanted to write an anonymous letter to confess to the relatives of the deceased. The next day, the insurance company claims investigator used a device that can display the recollections of eyewitnesses, and found the heroine. Connection, the investigators get the image of the car accident and also see the image of the homicide, and they are killed. The heroine learned that the investigator told her husband about the investigation. In order to prevent future troubles, she came to the investigator and beat her husband and child to death with a hammer. Unexpectedly, a guinea pig at home saw the murder scene, and finally in the guinea pig's memory Evidence found.
Argument: One wrong step is irreversible. Even though technology has made a huge contribution to criminal investigation, it will also increase the criminal motives of criminals. Think about it, without this memory machine, the corpse dumping case many years ago would have become an unsolved case. The heroine will not be discovered if she kills her ex-boyfriend. Neither the investigator nor her husband will die. Some people think that the baby can at least survive (the heroine is a mother, and there is a high probability that she will not attack an unconscious baby). But this is unfair, and the wicked are always to be blamed. While technological leaps provide great help to human beings, it will also increase human fear of technology and deepen the dark side of itself.
