"Black Mirror" is more and more difficult to surprise people, the narrative tends to be bland, and the plot background is also simple. It is no longer a thrilling and thought-provoking drama.
The fourth season is the best of the sixth episode "Dark Museum", with three short stories embedded in it: Dr. Dawson became addicted to pain and fear because of the implantation of physiological sensory receptors, and finally came to a dead end; the man implanted his ex-wife's consciousness into himself Her body is then thrown into a teddy bear due to frequent conflicts and the development of new relationships; a madman scientist uses neurotechnology to digitize human consciousness and profit from the eternal consciousness of tortured death row inmates. The three stories are told by Rolo, the owner of the "Dark Museum" that displays technical criminal objects, and he is the mad scientist who has advanced neurotechnology step by step from physiological sensory transmission, implantation of complete consciousness into living bodies, and digital consciousness.
When the speed of technological development exceeds the response of human social system guarantees, when human beings fall into the whirlpool of temptation brought about by technological upgrading, and when technology changes the way people get along, where will technology lead to life? In fact, human beings are not ready for a disruptive new era of artificial intelligence and digitization, both individually and at the societal level. Where are the boundaries of tech ethics? Do consciousnesses have equal human rights? How can tech crime be avoided? How to prevent the backlash of AI weaponization? People can't answer these questions before the technology is really visible in front of them, and they can only chase after them passively and make up for it after losing the sheep. For the individual, it may become a victim, leaving only a life full of holes.
No one rescued Doctor Dowson, no one rescued Carrie, no one proved Ray's innocence, just one cold spectator who walked into the museum, flipped the switch, admired his pained face, and unleashed the evil in the depths of human nature. Public law fails to guarantee human rights, fails to achieve justice, and lynching takes its place - and so we see the end of episode six. The story seems to have ended so far, but in fact it leaves an endless period.
The first episode is about how a game developer who used games to abuse his consciousness to vent his personal grievances went to the grave. The second episode is about the mother who loves her son using the Ark Angel system to monitor her daughter and causes her daughter to betray. The third episode is about everyone. After becoming a walking monitor whose memory can be retrieved, the woman kills four people in a row to protect herself. The fourth episode is the numerical model love system to help you find the only one in this life, and the fifth episode is the battle royale where AI is mainly anti-guests and contains human beings. The plot of each episode alone seems to be interesting, but under the treatment of the fourth season, it is always long and monotonous, the reflection is not deep enough, and the narrative is not delicate enough. The second season of "Black Mirror" season 1 and 2 are ahead, and it is inevitable that the audience will be disappointed with the fourth season of the third season.
