Even today, the sky radiation, Internet noise, spam messages, emails, and raging visual pollution do not make people physically and mentally exhausted. They prefer to watch absurd events on the Internet. After Facebook and YouTube have become a shortcut to communicate with each other, The excessive dissemination of information and the excessive rendering of the media have made the world gray. The fun of the Internet is deteriorating. The Spring Festival Gala has become an exhibition of the achievements of middle-aged and elderly people in popularizing Internet vocabulary. Today is still the scene of Internet celebrities. Embarrassment, someone will pay for it one day anyway. The irony of the first episode of "Black Mirror" hit the line of defense created by law, order, and morality. The all-pervasive spread has long been overwhelming. However, this episode has a deeper expression, that is, the Internet and reality are ebb and flow, and there is a lot of people on the Internet, and the outdoors is already a bird. Princess Susanna was rescued on the empty bridge. No one noticed how she was looted and how she returned. Anyway, everyone has become an animal in the house. The prime minister and high-ranking officials are also facing each other in the cramped room. Under the pressure of the people, they will have an animalistic relationship according to the DOGMA95 treaty. , Let the people on the Internet watch enough of the excitement. This is an absurd event in the media age. People are obsessed with various acts on the Internet, and they have completely lost the distinction between reality and illusion.
The second episode of "Black Mirror" takes off the black and cold reality coat. Although it is a pessimistic theme, it is rooted in the bizarre and whimsical world, with a full of science fiction spirit. Different from the perspective of the first episode, it has a more ambitious proposition. It deconstructs the Internet homeowners into a lattice of social machines. Everyone rides a car every day to earn the points they need every day to satisfy their own enjoyment needs. The freewheeling life is replaced by stylized steps. Technology has built a concentration camp for all living beings. It is far more pessimistic than the factories in Modern Times or the underground kingdoms in Metropolis. In this concentration camp, everything has to be calculated. All your eating, drinking and playing, and even your life can be calculated with points. Then, naturally, human beings are no longer independent organisms, and can only be calculated on the social giant computer. Under the setting of the program, even their personalities can be calculated without difference. That's right, technology can calculate everything, and you can also calculate yourself. In the end, you can easily find your life gate. All your bad roots, vanity, and selfishness are completely exposed. Today, one hundred years later, the elegant and dignified idyllic in "Downton Abbey" has long disappeared in the world, and the woman is not a beautiful lady like Sippel, but she has finally fallen on the stage full of hypocrisy and deceit. , Became the goddess of flute in the lustful scene, even the infatuated person who took revenge on stage with a murder weapon, was finally brainwashed under the calculation of the system, and finally put herself in, leaving her distorted face on the screen every week. Bewitching the world. Perhaps there is no longer the term "world people" in this world. They have already become virtual symbols on the display, trapped in their own units, consuming their own points, exercising the so-called voting rights, but after all, they are just puppets. .
The body is formatted, and the spirit cannot be avoided. When technology is drawn to an extreme and your memory can be copied and transmitted, the last part of the person is also declared annihilated. This is also the third episode of "Black Mirror". The theme of the transfer, it even made up a fictitious grain, which can store the memory and play it at any time, and finally tie everyone in the old dream of the past, and miss the moment with the moment, even the morning light of making love uses that small button to trace the new marriage At the beginning of the night, the pleasure of reality has been completely unaware. The most deadly thing is that you can no longer hide everything you do and think. Your privacy is exposed, and suspicion and questioning follow one after another. The more you hate things, you can't help but dig into the roots, and you can't worry about them. The things of this kind are lifelong companions, and can only ruthlessly pluck out the memory behind the ear, and exchange the eternal memory of unforgettable for the freedom of being a natural person. Technology brings people the ability to over-remember and repeat memory, but it is the source of pain. Grain can certainly retain the most beautiful moments, but it always leads you to the most naked dark side, making you look forward to your lover and life. Ashes are gone, you have memory and replay functions, but you become a slave to memory, not even as the sleeping body in "Inception".
The emergence of electronic media is only a matter of decades, but it dominates human life. Day and night, we all lose peace under the bombardment of the media and become a doll in the hustle and bustle of the electronic age. "Black Mirror" is a pessimistic apocalyptic prophecy. It not only satirizes the absurdity of the present, but also previews the stylized vision of the future world. It is short and succinct, independent of chapters, but also extends layer by layer. From the outside to the inside, it builds a sense of hierarchy. The spiritual cage, from the excessive spread of the media in the first episode, leads to the excessive deconstruction of the society in the second episode, and finally leads to the end of spiritual destruction. The structure is exquisite, and the poetry of cold despair runs through from the beginning to the end. It opened a fan in the electronic age. Looking into the window of the future, it just looks like it is Dante's purgatory. Everyone has burned the sins of a lifetime in the quenching. Human nature is inherently evil, and the age of benevolence and morality can still be concealed, and the pervasive morning light of science and technology has finally become the most naked judgment of ourselves and mankind. "Black Mirror" does not conceal the pessimistic tendency of the creators towards technology, and it is even so oppressive that people can't breathe, but the future will eventually prove that this is not alarmist.
