The least likely thing to happen happens to the most powerful symbolic figure. The prime minister's power to control international people's livelihood is more of a symbol in the public environment. However, it is the counter-coercion of this symbol that makes the dignity of a person disintegrate for public opinion and power.
In the final scene, the indifference and contempt of the prime minister's wife after entering the door is physical nausea and psychologically unforgivable. Close the door and the obligation ends. The heaviness of the wife's role far defeats the fame and fortune of the prime minister's wife, and what remains is a complete disappointment over why the husband does not defend his basic dignity as a man and as a partner.
The second episode contains the irony of the reality show in "Trumen's World". At the same time, I am in such an environment-surrounded by blcak mirrors. The user-friendly interface is now very popular, which can suddenly show private thoughts, and at the same time, you can choose freely on it. Eat and drink for entertainment. But these are smooth and concise, capable of showing various images, and the motion-sensitive media screens are actually like the monitors of every household in 1984, unshakable in the private space, behind them is the invisible big brother.
The so-called resistance, in the end, the result is to move from a small space to a large space, the choice of applications on the interface increases, and the black mirror expands. The real and accessible are all virtual on the screen, trapped in an era of hopeless entertainment, where there is no resistance but only integration.
In the third episode, when information sharing can no longer satisfy the desire, it comes to memory. Private memory fragments can be a pastime for friends gathering, oh, what a joy, you can accurately share your good times with everyone anytime, anywhere. No longer be afraid of being alone, misunderstanding, and powerlessness caused by poor expression.
These fragments that can be shared at any time have even become standards for confirming social identity and background. Taking a plane, calling the police... Memory, the most impeccable personal attribute, naturally permeates the various operating procedures of social life.
The memory can be retrieved and edited at any time and can even be used for overwriting. Cover the best first time on every subsequent sex life to fight against coldness. As long as you have had luck and happiness, as long as you are willing, you can cover all similar experiences in the future. No displeasure, tirelessness.
In the end, it is precisely because the memory has not been beautified or faded or exaggerated in the past, and it is precisely because it is objectively recorded at any time, and it is as flawless as a crime video when confronted.
It is in sharp contrast to the unreality of the second episode, where everything is virtual. This kind of objective reality is so undeniable that you can't even make excuses. When I found the clues and began to seek proof, I would repeat irresistibly, repeating, perhaps praying for a little difference, but in the end it could only be defeated by the iron facts.
The truth is the greatest harm, not conjecture itself.
At the end of the plot, the actor begins to replay the scene of his wife cheating: the warm sun shines on the kitchen, the wife touches a bowl for breakfast, smiles shyly at himself when he walks up the stairs, and stares at himself when lying down. That kind of look is the kind of look that I accuse my wife of being exclusive to my lover and neglecting myself, suddenly soft and unreal.
After hatred and jealousy have destroyed everything, the persistent eyes will shift from the fragments of one's own injury, and will extend from one point to the entire past, connecting the context and considering the context.
The metaphor of the social network throughout the three episodes, the rapid forgetting, entertainment, and information pressure brought about by excessive connection cannot be suppressed.
I have never seen one of the best TV shows.
