As I gave a 2-star review, there is nothing to talk about in terms of the plot, I don't like it, and a short review for the specific reasons has been written. And this film is more worth talking about is the technology and the truth.
Still shocked by this so-called "reality mapping", it is not really understanding the core of what the whole "Black Mirror" wants to convey, be wary of technology, but even more wary of people who use technology. Technological research itself is of course neutral, right or wrong happens in the way research results are used. The level of technology shown in this film is not in the same dimension as "Black Mirror". Of course, "Black" belongs to science fiction, and "True" is the present, but the results are similar. P-min is always a victim of high-tech. As far as technology is concerned, the technical skills of the whole play are not as clever as the cutting tapes in "Latent". What was the scientific and technological background then, and what is it now? Anyone who is familiar with video editing knows that one of the core technologies of this film, "Mask Transition", is a simple technique in the later stage of film and television, and it is not new at all. And face-changing technology, when CG and motion capture technology are so prosperous today, do you still need to make a fuss? We didn't stop developing audio and video technology because of the deliberate framing during the espionage war. Nor will He Jiankui's lab blow up because he makes gene-edited babies. Because technology is an irreversible fact, once it starts, it can only move forward, so what we should think about is, why did the people become victims? How to be a victim? And how to avoid being used and manipulated by such technologies anymore?
I have been deeply nourished by "Wonderful Flowers" for many years. Now that I encounter a scientific and technological brain hole again, the first reaction is no longer to prevent and destroy, but to encourage development and prevent it. Just like what the team of lawyers did in the film, many comments are still obsessed with preventing the national surveillance of this technology, and infinitely exaggerating the consequences of "Correction", you really don't need to scare yourself. You must know that it is really the younger brother who can be punished after video modification, destroying a person's highest realm, and see how the old big Bro in the male protagonist's mouth does it. There is no need to say anything about murder. Those who master technology and power have 10,000 means to achieve their goals anytime, anywhere. To be polite today is to modify behavior, and tomorrow is to modify thinking. This is also what is happening. Recognizing this direction will prevent you from paying an unnecessary emotional cost for what will happen in the future.
As far as the national surveillance is concerned, in all fairness, at least it is still super positive, I mean in this film. Speaking of which, the villains in this department should be a group of lawyers. They are victims of a group of "Correction". According to their demands to expose C's injustice, no one in the gang will share in this, but no one stands. Come out, but use C to frame the male protagonist, not to mention the black sister's brother (forgetting her relationship with the prison man) is a terrorist accomplice that the police detected through "illegal means". Really a mystery. Having said that, all we can do is to think carefully about how to avoid and slow things down and continue to develop in a worse direction, for example, restricting the functions of power through parliament, legislation, finding third parties to monitor and evaluate the authenticity of videos, information Modification of forensics norms in the age of technology, etc. And, as it's doing now, make the "Correction" public, and get the police and state security to re-look for investigative and surveillance measures. Therefore, while everything is still in progress, national surveillance will continue to develop.
The truth, the word in the whole play is no longer the meaning of the word itself, but has become a tool to be manipulated. This is precisely because the forces of all parties use the public's thinking habit of only pursuing "facts" and only believing in "facts" to induce and deceive people, forcing people to believe that facts and truth are the same thing. However, the facts are not the truth. Just as in the film, it is a fact that the male protagonist shot and killed a Muslim, the video of beating someone at a bus stop is a fact, and it is also a fact that he finally pleaded guilty and was sentenced, but the truth is that he did not beat anyone, but he still took the initiative to plead guilty. The truth is to be judged and analyzed based on various facts, and it is very dependent on independent thinking and accumulation of experience. Compared with finding the truth, it is more worthy of attention to the thinking and questioning of the pursuit of the truth. The truth itself doesn't matter, it's really scary to think that the truth is the truth.
