I finally finished watching all five seasons. I'm exhausted. What I'm writing is the general review of the Black Mirror series. You ask me why I wrote it under the fourth season, because the style of the fourth season is different from the first three seasons. Now, and the fifth season, it's a slap in the face, OK, so my review may be very long, I hope everyone can accept it, I know that no one may watch it after so long, but I have to write it, or I will suffocate to death. OK, here we go.
First of all, I read the comments every season. I think whether it is praise or criticism, they are all hype. In fact, it is so complicated. I said that the style of the first three seasons is unified. Let’s structure his style. Regardless of the level of technology in an episode, what is the theme of his satire, there are two objects of criticism, one is certain technology and technology applications that we have or have not yet achieved, and the other is our real society. Phenomenon or human nature, Black Mirror is pessimistic about these two points, and the criticism of these two points in each episode is also tightly bound. For example, the technology criticized in the first episode and the third season is a memory player, a satirical society The phenomenon is mutual distrust and suspicion between partners. The memory player amplifies the emotional problems between partners, but only amplifies them. The problem is not caused by technology. The problem of distrust and rift between partners has long appeared.
Let's talk about the second episode of the second season. The satirical technology of this episode is live broadcast and amnestics, and it is a live broadcast with direct participation of the audience. The social phenomenon of criticism is the moral attack that people think they are righteous. This lively punishment live broadcast is for everyone. Yes, and those viewers started to criticize and punish the heroine just by relying on this live broadcast. What they did was no different from what the heroine had done before. Did this phenomenon occur because of this project? No, videos are prevalent in our society today. We can judge people online without knowing the situation. We curse them, accuse them, and what we do is better than the people in the video.
Not only the two episodes I mentioned, but if you look back at the first three seasons, is this the same way? The high development of technology is not the source of these problems, it just magnifies these problems without limit, and the disadvantages of technology exacerbate these problems. Each episode has two satirical themes, which complement each other and are perfect.
Following this line of thought, we will analyze the single episodes in reverse. The first is the second season and the third season. Many people in this episode may think that the irony is a hypocritical government official. In fact, this is true, but it is not critical. Let's take a look at this one. What is the technological means of sarcasm? It's the blue bear Wodo, which is a variety of avatars that are popular today. Wodo is an avatar. You don't have to take responsibility for your own words and deeds. You can mess with people and create momentum. I can scold you for nothing, and there is no fixed image. Whoever is under Vodo can control it, and there is a professional team behind it. What is the irony? It is obviously the unscrupulous media who speak out of their responsibilities now!
On the other hand, the senator in the film, although his face is not good-looking, but there is no mockery of him in the play, his counterattack against Wodo is reasonable, but the voice actor behind Wodo recognizes the entire virtual team. And the face of the political game, so the satire of this episode is avatars and unscrupulous media.
how? Are you following your train of thought? Keep up with us and continue.
With this idea, we come to the conclusion that the genius of Black Mirror is that it combines the disadvantages of technology with the existing problems of society to achieve the effect of criticism, reflection, and irony, coupled with the sophisticated production level, skilled The first three seasons are so beautiful. Moreover, Black Mirror has never used reversal as a gimmick, but our own psychological viewpoints. Most of us are numb to these social problems. , Ignore it, I have hope and worship for high-tech technology, but at the end of each episode, Black Mirror nakedly shows the darkness of these two things, and this is the amazing place.
My personal two favorite episodes are the first and fourth episodes of the third season. I liked the first episode because it touched my pain. There is nothing to say about the plot. The fourth episode is more controversial and may be a lot. People think this is the only happy ending, but it's not. In the end, the black girl chooses to stay in the beautiful village. She may live well with her lover, but she may also fall into the abyss of endless carnival.
The above is the general style of the first three seasons that I have summarized. I know that each episode has its differences and wonderful places. I will not analyze those. I know that the people who see this are definitely not idiots and will not be with me. Forget it, so let's move on to why the fourth season started to go downhill
First of all, the problem of the first season came out. To sum up, there must be two irony points, technology and human nature, but in this episode, the heroine finally got revenge, and led her colleagues to live happily in the game world. What's he sarcastic about? It doesn't have anything to do with it!
The second and fourth episodes, the sixth episode is barely, the fourth episode is not bad, the third and fifth episodes have the problem again, the third episode satirizes the greed and ruthlessness of people, but we still tm want you to say? !
You've put so much effort into filming such an episode! ? In addition, this episode did not satirize technology at all, and the memory tracker finally became a tool of justice, happy ending
The fifth episode is more straightforward, directly sending an end dog out to kill and kill, straight to boring, and the final ending is even more desperate. The three people desperately pursue the teddy bear that brings hope, and the light of humanity shines.
Maybe some friends will think that I have depression when they see this. Why do I have to pursue a dark ending? Isn't a happy ending bad? And what I want to say is that some people filmed Titanic, some people filmed Miracles in Green Mile, and some people filmed this killer who was not too cold. Similarly, some people filmed Fast and Furious, and some people filmed Transformers, and the light of human nature can shine. The ending can be happy, the protagonist can be happy, but it shouldn't be here, it shouldn't be in Black Mirror.
We have a lot of channels to choose from, a lot of movies to watch, you don’t even have to go to the cinema to watch a movie, you don’t even have to spend money, you can order takeout when you’re hungry, you can play virtual games when you’re bored, our world has become too much Soon, in just over a few decades, we have achieved a feat that no one could have imagined before. Communication between people no longer requires face-to-face communication. We have mobile phones and computers, and our games are becoming more and more popular. Realistic, guess how many years we are before we reach the level of technology in Black Mirror? one century? 50 years? 20 years? 10 years?
The first season of Black Mirror was released in 2011. We watched the jokes in the first episode and we were also wondering if we were repeating the same mistakes. Can we feel the same way when we watched the roar of the black brother in the second season? We saw whether the embarrassment in the third episode would also reflect on ourselves. Before that, there were not many works that suddenly slapped the audience in the face like a slap, waking us up, so that we would no longer be blindly indulged in electronic products, Let us realize what results we will lead to if we continue to make no changes. The mirror we usually look in is not black, and if there is something on our face, the mirror will reflect back one by one. We turn off the computer and turn off the mobile phone. That mirror is black, so it can illuminate the dark side of our face. That's what the black mirror is. It's responsible for showing that dark side. It's the one that makes us think after turning off the electronics. This is the black mirror.
We have so many viewers that we recommend this show to our friends and family after reading it, because we understand that we need more people to reflect on this black mirror. Now people don't read books or read newspapers. If we don't feel and inherit the treasures left by our culture for thousands of years, we are losing our language. The next step in losing our language is losing our voice. After losing our voice, we will experience the world shown in the Black Mirror. Therefore, we reflect and do our best. Let the people around us reflect, we have nowhere to go, we can only wake up, look ahead, think forever, and never stop.
