After watching the first episode, Black Mirror has not changed. The name of "Black Mirror" is too good, the mirror reflects our life, the black may be human nature. High-tech is like a kitchen knife, you can use it to cook or you can Use it to kill people, but in the future, due to the complex high-tech of human nature, it will often get out of control, and even turn to dominate our lives. Just like now, everyone is bound by their own personalities on social networks. Red check-in, have an afternoon tea, you are a celebrity People rate it, people have to flatter everyone every day for a high score. Except for vanity, when you have a high score, you can get a discount when you buy a house. If you have a low score, you will be deprived of certain rights. In the prison, when the heroine was locked up in the prison and scolded the inmates opposite, they were actually happier and more free than the people outside the prison.

The second episode is average. It's the technology version of Inception. But there are some concepts in it that make me think that it must be the future trend. The next step is apple glass, and there is no need for vrar in the next step. The small chip is directly implanted into the brain to control the brain and affect your nerves. hey scary

The third episode is more general. It is another group of hackers who are like sniping phone booths to punish pedophiles from the perspective of God.

Episode 4. This show made me think of several questions.

1. Is this form of eternity eternity? Go to heaven = upload to cloud space? Death instead = eternal life?

2. What would you do if it were you? It's the problem of red pills and blue pills again, and those who dream in Inception.

3. If the director's ending is fixed on Kelly's death, I will be very clear about what he wants to express, which are two opposing attitudes. But in the end, Kelly also chooses this and I am a bit confused. If I take my picture, it will freeze on Kelly and put it in the coffin women's glasses into u disk

4. What I don't understand is that the consciousness of the body is dead, just upload the consciousness simulated by AI to the cloud space, or can the consciousness be uploaded to the past?

5. The government does DNA tests on the people and then asks the soldiers to weed out all "people at risk of potential disease". But people are sympathetic, so the government developed the "Max" system. Implant the soldiers' brains, control their senses, make them see "patients" as monsters, and then kill. That way they don't have guilt or post-war psychological problems, like GIs did after the Vietnam War. After the protagonist's Max malfunctions, he discovers the truth, but the executives still force him to clear his memory of the truth, and finally the protagonist "returns home" and sees his wife and sheds tears (all illusions, controlled)
