This film attracted a lot of critics, and of course it also attracted a lot of opposition to criticism.
These anti-criticism voices often stand on the commanding heights of aesthetics, blaming the critics of Black Mirror for why they cannot appreciate the beauty of form and the shocking effect that form brings to content.
From the standpoint of a critic, I want to correct a view. "Form is greater than content" is to say: This black mirror has good form but not good content, so is it a bad film? In fact it is not. In my opinion, "form is greater than content" is to say: its form is not good enough, and the content is even worse. The combination of form and content does not greatly enhance the expressive power of the theme, and does not have the effect of shocking the viewer.
It is said that its form is not good enough because its form is not original enough, and its various branches are extremely sloppy.
It is said that the content is not good because the topic discussed in this film itself has been discussed a lot, and the film has not been able to create a new dimension to discuss this topic. Moreover, in my opinion, the topic itself is meaningless enough. Life is manipulated and manipulated by others. Do you want to speak for the 01 string in the manipulated computer, or do you suspect that we are a program manipulated by others? part?
The greatest part of Black Mirror is supposed to be a magnificent to somewhat absurd imagination, an in-depth and eerie exploration of human nature. In the four seasons, I have never been disappointed in "Black Mirror". I don't think that the decline in the ratings of the season of "Black Mirror" represents a decline in production. I think the fourth season of "Dark Museum" has reached the peak of imagination and humanity exploration in the history of Black Mirror. But what about this season? Lack of imagination, and there is nothing new in the exploration of human nature? The only thing left is to incorporate this form into the novelty of the content.
