My Understanding of Black Mirror Season 4 Episode 3 (S4E03)

Daniela 2022-04-22 07:01:40

There isn't a single episode of tm Black Mirror where bad guys can get away, and they're not really bad guys, and bad guys in real life can often get away. Through the whitewashing, brainwashing, and oppression of the scenes witnessed by others, the people will forget what he did. The irony is that those who get caught and who can be shown off by the so-called forces of justice who deceive themselves and others are often the good guys who are forced to do bad things. It’s ridiculous, good people often have a guilty conscience when they do bad things, and a guilty conscience can make people grab the handle, but the real bad people have no shame at all when they do bad things. Alas, we can continue to hide in the virtual world, but one day we will face this pale reality!

    Walton: Bob, I wanna talk to you here! I was thinking i should say... sorry.

    Robert Daly: [Beat] Go on.

    Walton: [Breathlessly as he fixes the engine] You created Infinity. You're a fucking genius. I exploited that. I treated you like the golden goose and I got fat off the profits, figuratively speaking. And I was thinking, I should have appreciated you more, you know? I should have treated you better. Yeah, yeah I was thinking I should say all that.

    [Beat]

    Walton: But then you threw my son out of an airlock, so... FUCK YOU TO DEATH.
