The second episode of the first season of Black Mirror: Come and see, what kind of person you will be in it

Carter 2022-03-15 09:01:01

[1] This is an absurd world, this is the world we are creating . People in this world live in grids surrounded by electronic screens. People's lives are very simple, sleeping-eating-walking-and wandering in the virtual world. Stepping is something they must do, and only by earning miles can they pay for every expense in life.

(Wake up in the virtual morning light, neither refreshed nor refreshed)

Everyone here has to enter this grid room surrounded by a grid of screens after the age of 21. Each person is allocated a small room as a bedroom, except for rest and sleep, the rest of the time is basically spent on the stepper. This is everyone’s obligation and the only way for everyone to get what they need in life.

Living mechanically like us in the grid

Of course, this world will never let you walk boringly. The popular talent show, the brainless and vulgar variety show, the bloody phantom baby, and all kinds of games and virtual products are all "good friends and good companions" for adjusting the road of riding.

Here, you can’t see books, artworks, mountains, rivers, lakes, flowers, movies, dramas, and all true and beautiful things. Here, every day I open my eyes and look around and see the screen, the screen, the screen, and everything on the screen that is hypocritical, exaggerated, vulgar, sensational, and beautifying. This world is very depressing, right? This world is scary, right? Oh, but this is a virtual world after all, and someone will say so, right? But is this really unfounded worry? With the advent of the era of electronic intelligence, we seem to be unconsciously introducing ourselves into this world. How many people wake up the first thing every day is to turn on their mobile phones and let themselves enter the world of screens. When eating, going to the bathroom, partying, resting, and even walking and driving, they all hold their mobile phones in their hands, unwilling to come out of the screen world. What's on the screen? Online novels, funny variety shows, fragmented information platforms of Weibo and WeChat, various virtual products, and "Phantom Babies"; of course, there are also books, art, movies, music, dramas, and poems, but it seems that their vitality is not the former Exuberant, they are not popular. We are intoxicated in the virtual world and cannot extricate ourselves. We neglect family affection, friendship and love, and shield the stars, the sea, the fragrance of flowers and the green shadows; the influence of real and beautiful things is eliminated, and because of the so-called hunting psychology that is difficult to resist as humans, Primitive instinct, visual impulse, etc., strengthen the influence of vulgarity, flattery, and lack of brain. There are a lot of beautiful things in real society, but many people prefer to indulge in the virtual world, and the trend of cutting-edge science is also making great strides in the direction of virtual reality technology. In the future, like the people in the movie, you can experience concerts, variety shows, spectacular wonders, interact with exotic animals, and change all kinds of cool looks without leaving home. In this case, the creator of the film has come to simply erase all the reality that is now within reach but has been repeatedly overlooked, and give everyone a beautiful new world that can not only free your hands, but also meet your "screen needs" all the time. . However, in order to prevent such a world from appearing, do we have to give up the convenience brought by technological intelligence to our lives? of course not!Destruction and prohibition should never be the first choice to solve problems. This is a manifestation of laziness and incompetence! As stated in the commentary of the first episode, science and technology have never been good or bad. It is the people who use it that decides whether it is good or bad. Why are all kinds of vulgarity, kitsch, sentimental, brainless videos, texts, sounds, and speeches flooded in the online world? These do not mean that the quality and taste of the audience is low. This can only explain the production of these mental wastes. The speculation and greed of the readers. Sex, violence, curiosity, ethics, all kinds of information flooding the Internet nowadays all contain these elements. These are the information that people can hardly not pay attention to without precautions. In order for content manufacturers to ensure that the information they produce can be disseminated as much as possible, so as to maximize the benefits, the safest way is to break everything up and package it into these forms to show it. Does anyone dislike these? There must be, and there should be many people who dislike it. Everyone hopes that there are rigorous, beautiful, artistic, scientific, rational, sincere, dreams and poetry in their spiritual world. It’s just that our days seem to be too tired, too tired to express what we like and criticize the bad ones, so that our needs are not seen, and our opposition is just like a yawn, moistening our eyes. , But there is no sound. Now is the "fan economy era". Popular cultural products will be used as an important reference factor in the production process. Whether this product is popular, whether it is necessary to continue production, and how to improve it better, all refer to fans. feedback of. So, if you watch a movie, a drama, listen to a song, read a book, buy a product, experience a service, or even use an app, read an article, all Don't refrain from commenting because you are afraid of trouble. Not evaluating it means that you give up the right to express your needs to the future world. If you don’t say good things, don’t say bad things, the future world may not be what you want. Some people may say that individuals are like ants before the trend of the times, they can only be pushed away, but cannot change their direction. However, no one knows the future, and the trend of the times is also the result of everyone like you and me, and every trickle converges.Every trickle like you, because of the same preferences, tastes and dreams, voice and work together, the more power you gather, the greater the possibility that the trend of the times will flow in the direction you want. So, don't be stingy to speak up for what you like, and don't be afraid to speak up for what you like. Of course, you must maintain relative objectivity and rationality in your remarks. At the same time, if conditions permit, you may wish to give some financial support to your favorite. For example, if you use a certain set of WeChat emoticons, you can give the author a reward, even if the money is not much, that is a kind of support. Going to the theater to watch movies, going to the theater to watch dramas, buying genuine books and genuine video products, so that the beautiful has more living space and motivation, and the future world will become a beautiful look. [2] The film focuses on the performance of five people in this world, they are actually us. 1. First of all, the seat next to the male guest of honor. He is a person who is typically educated by the pan-entertainment network society. He agrees with the mode of operation of this world, and uses this as a guideline. He is keen on mindless variety shows and indulged in Phantom Babes. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with these things. He can't hold himself in a smile because he is immersed in it.

He accepted what the world gave him without hesitation. He feels that it is his duty and his sacred right to exchange for miles every day and enjoy various products based on this. He doesn't look down on people who can only engage in lower-level jobs because of obesity or disease. Because this is the value passed to him by the world. Therefore, he has no sympathy, he is insensitive, so, facing the lower-level banana people, he will swear, mocking, and arrogantly saying "I-give-a-money-of!" What a familiar word! , What ugly words!

Why does he do this? Because he has been immersed in the pan-entertainment virtual world all year round, the information received is basically violent, mocking, and sexual, which makes him an emotionally numb, unsympathetic, irritable, and entertaining. The mentality of looking at anything, whether it is a tragedy or a tragedy. In this drama, I hate him the most, but in the online society where the self-media is prevalent and the mainstream media is down, there seem to be more and more people like this, and they think they are more and more correct. They will say, doing so seriously is just a joke; you are amazing, virgin bitch; patriotic bitch; this bitch that bitch...Anyway, label the other party first, preemptively make the other person feel wrong, and then stand. Condemn the opponent at the commanding heights of morality. This world seems to be increasingly rejecting others to express kindness. Yes, we should resist ignorant kindness, but the resistance is not to resist in the form of labelling, but should be based on the facts, with objective and rational convincing, rather than relying on lip service to win self-psychological satisfaction. 2. The second place is a red-haired boy. He is still an ignorant and ignorant boy. He is keen to change his electronic image and cares about the image of the electronic image to others. He retains empathy for others, and he will be moved and excited. But these performances of him are emotional and will not last long. He could hear Abi's singing in the last second and burst into tears, and he could immediately follow the people around and shout to Abi excitedly, asking her to agree to be a porn star. He can listen excitedly to the male guest guest’s passionate announcement and indulge in the emptiness of replacing the electronic image, while choosing new equipment for his electronic image.

The pan-entertainment network world cuts complete information into fragments, and each fragment flashes through your eyes in a few minutes or even seconds. The last message gives you the feeling that you have not had time to digest, the next message The impact immediately covered the impact of the previous message. If things go on like this, our mood swings will become greater and greater, and our ability to think deeply will become weaker and weaker. We are easily moved by emotions, but also easily shaken by emotions. Emotions passed, no action, life as usual, walking dead. Do not be an emotional pull puppet, let yourself have more time to receive complete information, read a book completely, watch a movie completely, understand a person completely, think completely, write an article completely, If you do one thing completely, you may have a complete life. 3. The third is a woman who has a crush on the male guest of honor. She may be the relatively sober one of several roles. She understands the sins of this world and the hypocrisy of this world, but she has no intention of taking actions to influence and change this world. She feels that she can stand alone in this hypocritical and absurd world, avoid those vulgar programs, find some relatively fresh spiritual products, find someone she likes, and live her own life well. However, the world will not give her a piece of green space just because she thinks so. She lost her favorite object and continued to lead a boring life. In the great changes of the times, everyone cannot be alone. What they can do is to start from every little thing to make themselves better and the world a better place. For example, don't think that protecting the environment is the business of an organization or government. It helps to save a little water, waste a little electricity every day, and consume it in a restrained manner. For another example, as mentioned above, express your own experience as much as possible, and don't be the silent majority.

4. The fourth place is the heroine Abi. She is the tragedy in this film. Her tragedy was caused by two aspects. First of all, of course the group of people in Hot Shot. As the male protagonist said, in their eyes, the contestants are not people, but only profitable tools. They only care about how to create higher ratings, how to make more money, and your dreams, your life In their eyes it is worthless. Dreams are not only they conceal their sins and show you a good fig leaf, but also a tool to lure you into the bait and better control you. They will use methods to weaken your will; for example, they will give you "meditation water", threaten you and tempt you, describe to you the gloomy status quo, the bright future, the evil of hesitation, and the need to make quick decisions. Under this series of strong offensives, people who are weak-willed and unsure about their goals are likely to compromise.

In fact, Abi himself is also the creator of this tragedy. First of all, her goal was originally unclear. She is not sure if she really likes to sing, whether she really has to be a singer. It just happened that someone thought she sang very well and was willing to help her pay for the tickets, thinking that this might be an opportunity to get rid of the status quo. Anyway, I won't lose anything, why not do it?

(I guess revealed that Abi doesn’t even know what he wants to do.)

In real life, there are too many opportunities and choices. Some choices seem to have a bright future and do not require you to spend a lot of effort. Many people will choose this opportunity because of this. But it is impossible to do one thing without a little sacrifice. After making this choice, I gave up another possibility. When the choice is unwilling but the dream is to give up, then what should be done. Therefore, people must have a strong heart and firmly know what they want. Even when they are in a moment of confusion and have not seen what they want, they should clearly know what they don’t want. What are your own principles and bottom lines, and what are you absolutely not allowed to do in violation of the rules. Only in this way, it cannot be said that you can definitely find and realize what you want in your heart, but it can also guarantee that you will not get lost too far or even run in the opposite direction in the journey of chasing your dreams. In addition, even if you clearly know what you need and what you want to be, you must always keep your heart awake and firm. Because, along the way you run wild, there will always be all kinds of people or things, trying to get in your way. Therefore, if you have always maintained your original intention and kindness, and at the same time have firmness and humility, know your shortcomings, and understand your direction at the same time, even people all over the world will tell you to give up your dreams and do something you don’t want. What you do, you will not lose your head and compromise.

I'm so sad to see here

5. In the end, it is the actor's guest of the film. Before meeting Abi, he lived in chaos: getting up late willfully, using daily necessities as much as he wanted, skipping the commercials of programs he didn't like as he pleased, and stepping on the stepper leisurely. Because he inherited 15,000 miles from his deceased brother, he can face this world full of screens calmly. Although he is tired of this world full of hypocrisy, he is still willing to believe that this dream is beautiful, and the HOT SHOT talent show is the gateway to dreams and beauty. Therefore, when he met his favorite girl, Abi, and was moved by her singing, he did not want such a beautiful life to be wasted in the pale steps of the day. He felt that the beauty should bloom in a beautiful place.

Looking around, it looks more like our cubicle

Therefore, he took out all his mileage to help Abi buy a ticket leading to his dream, and accompanied her on the stage of dreams. However, here is full of routines. Abi, who originally intended to become a singer, successfully turned to a porn star thanks to the host’s clever words, intimidation and temptation, and everyone's clamor.

The beauty in his heart was shattered, and he decided to make a change. Yes, he acted. It’s much better than many people who only talk about it, are excited for a while but do nothing. However, after he impassionedly criticized the world, the object of his criticism did not inflict violence on him as he wanted, but extended an "olive branch" to him. He listened to the new description of the other party. In life, he found that he had the opportunity to obtain considerable benefits from the object he had just criticized. He hesitated, compromised, and came to the opposite side. In fact, it is only natural that he would do this. The reason why he would fight with his fate, trying to let everyone discover the sins of the current world, and hope to break it, is not how selfless and lofty he has dreams, but just because his own dream is broken, so he wants revenge. However, when the other party could build a new dream for him and promised to help him realize it, his anger disappeared. He doesn't have any so-called position, his position has always been his own, so he finally chose to leave the stepper, walk into another bigger compartment, and start another stepping life.

[3] Let us return to the topic of the pan-entertainment online world. Just like the male protagonist criticizing the three hosts of Hot Shot, whether it is intentional or unintentionally caused by the practitioners, in dealing with many things, the self-media and many mainstream media often do not go when they interpret it. The sensational way is to break up the incident and deconstruct it into an entertaining, joke-like topic, and seldom go deep into the truth and reason behind the incident. So when more and more 233333 appear in the online world, should we think that the online world is just a place to provide jokes, or that this place treats everything as a joke? If it is the former, then why do we spend most of our lives on this? If it is the latter, should we think more and have more humanistic feelings? Also, why do we say that we should be diligent in expressing our own evaluations of this and that kind of things, and do our own little effort for this and that kind of beauty, that is, we hope that more beautiful, well-meaning, true, and profound things will appear in our In life, more people’s bodies and hearts are infiltrated. In this way, the trend of the times should flow in the direction of true, real and beautiful, and will not get a society like the one in the film, even the green trees and flowers that are now within reach. True love and beauty must be exchanged for life. In the end, I just hope that more people will cherish our earth and the real beauty around us, come out of the world of mobile phones, and embrace the truth with their loved ones. You come to the world, you have to look at the sun. Walk down the street with your sweetheart. —— Haizi "Summer Sun"

    This British drama is so powerful. Every episode can make a major reversal of the psychological defenses of the people in the story, and slowly get along with the people in the story. Finally, I feel the sorrow of modern high-tech in my heart, especially the kidnapping case in the first episode. The irony method is too dark. It allows you to examine the various addictions that you and modern technology bring to you. In the end, it even satirizes you by the way, and you will slap your hands and marvel at it. Do you dare to say that you didn't want to see the Prime Minister fucking pig? ★★★★★
