The various social attitudes in black humor

When I first encountered "Black Mirror", I was completely shocked by the deep meaning of his work. For this film, I really can't say that I like it. Because every time I watch an episode, I feel a little depressed. But just want to watch it.

The reason why this episode shocked me the most is that the tragedy of the last leader was actually avoidable but was not avoided because of everyone's onlookers. Before he implemented the criminal's request, the princess had been released. In the end, the criminals won the "play". It is really incomprehensible, why the people didn't feel the slightest aversion to such a request, but were full of expectations for that scene? But in fact, this is understandable. Because everyone just wants to see the jokes of the leaders. The people in the film are laughing, but I in front of the screen is sad. No one thought of trying to save the princess, but they all watched his jokes in front of the TV. However, as long as one person is not so focused on the jokes, even if he distracts a little bit, he will find that the princess has already been released. However, there was no one on the street. In the end, the leader's family was shattered, but his image among the masses was taller. This reminds me of the sentence in "Les Miserables": The guilty person is not a criminal person, but a person who creates darkness. This tragedy was not caused by criminals, but by the people themselves. The onlookers and numb mentality have ruined a person's home.

In the beginning, I liked the male protagonist very much. And I thought he would change a little or something. But when he agreed to do that special program, I understood that he also became the kind of person he once loathed. He showed me that it is difficult to persist in realizing a dream, and even more difficult is that you have to persist in realizing your dream among a group of people with the same thinking. I was surprised that the male lead was assimilated. When he finally picked up the fruit juice in his hand, it seemed that his life was different, but in fact, there was no difference at all. In comparison, the hero who worked harder before is more attractive.

The biggest feeling of this episode is: Don’t go to the bottom line to pursue other people’s past, or you will hurt others; don’t think about painful or boring things over and over again, which will hurt yourself. In this film, many people say that they are against technology, but I think technology is just one thing, and human thought is the key. The male protagonist blindly looked at the past, trying to get a thorough understanding of the problem. The result will only be mediocre.

After watching "Black Mirror", I think it is a conscientious TV series I have seen. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "made by God". But if you put such a name, you will feel that the play will have some mystery. I really want to say that I like this British drama, but I consciously cannot use "like" to express my feelings about this drama. The screenwriter reminded me of Lu Xun. Different countries and different eras will have the same thoughts and the same social problems. If this drama can really give people reflection and make changes, then we also have reason to believe that the world will change for the better, rather than hopelessly.

Finally, I would like to thank the crew. Watching the full play and reflecting on it can be regarded as a cleansing of the soul.
