Scattered thoughts (lots of spoilers)

Black Mirror's imagination has always been very cool, the kind of whimsical, but well-founded, analysis of human nature in extreme situations, but there will always be some similar plots that may indeed happen in real life.

This film is more than an hour, and it tells 4 stories, each of which is great.

The first one I thought was pretty good at first, just like the online version of "Pub Xue.com", teaching those dumb science men to chat up, isn't it good, but after seeing a group of people watching, let me I feel pretty disgusting that there is such an online service. If I were this man, I would definitely not allow the female lead to go to her house, because firstly, it seems that I don't take it seriously, and secondly, how can I share such a private matter with everyone. . .
But he himself has watched other people's sex, so he deserves to be seen. . . . But he died so wrongly, I don't know whether the woman is mentally ill or is still using this service.
When he was murdered, the tension created by the male protagonist in a panic to destroy the evidence was great.

The concept of a copy cookie reminds me of human clones. Cloning a person often does not treat it as a human being, but as an accessory, a machine, but we forget that he is also a human being, a person with emotion, reason and thinking. Man, (as does a machine with thoughts and feelings), he has his own consciousness and thoughts, and he will suffer and be bored. I have a lot of sympathy for this person/consciousness, so I hope he never gets made.

Giving time to consciousness is also very good. It reminds me that the speed of the brain in Inception is faster than reality, and it may also use something like the theory of relativity. so cool. But using this to punish others is utterly inhumane. . .

The latter story is about block shielding. This kind of shielding is too scary, it will block your whole person. I began to think that the heroine was very decisive, and she refused to look back. After the truth came out, I thought she was too treacherous. . .

This male protagonist is an impulsive devil. At the beginning, he should not scold the female protagonist so violently when he finds out that he is pregnant, and he should not kill people later. Anyway, he is a person who is too emotional. But it is unavoidable. After 4 years of hard waiting and self-torture, I found that it was actually given to a cheating person. It would be difficult for anyone to accept it. . . .

It can only be said that the director is too cool. It is cool to think of shielding people in reality. He has buried such deep stalks, and I admire it.

All in all, Black Mirror is a feast for the imagination.

  • Harry: Ultimately the only thing you're worried about is the transition from one state to another, and that can't hurt you because it's it's just a state change.

  • Matt: It wasn't really real, so it wasn't really barbaric.
