This Christmas special also tells a futuristic story. In a certain era in the future, everyone will have a pair of smart eyes. This pair of smart eyes has a function that can block out the people you don't want to see. That is to say, once a person is blocked, you can't see what he looks like, and he can't see what you look like, and he can't even hear the voice. The technology of this era has realized the extraction of human consciousness, which can even be regarded as a form of artificial intelligence. Probably these two technologies.

The content of the story is that one of them killed people, but kept silent. In order to convict him, his consciousness was extracted and placed in a virtual space. There is another person's consciousness in this space. This person constantly guides the murderer to tell his story, and finally admits the fact of his murder. Another person made a contribution and was released, but because he committed the crime of voyeurism before, he was blocked by everyone when he was released, so that everyone he saw after coming out was blurred. At this point, the movie is over. The film presumably wants to explore the impact that technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, wearables, etc. may have on people.

    The plot is well-organized and the characters are well-crafted.

    God has finally unfolded again. AI has developed to this level, and it must be more than just a smart home or social assistance. . . And no one controls the human rights of cookies. . However, Black Mirror has always insinuated reality, only exploring one direction of technology, and will not have the ambition to shape a complete future world. This episode was really thought-provoking, and I totally fell for it.

White Christmas quotes

  • 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.

    [...]

    Matt: She's only made of code, she's not real. Fuck her!
