Waste Chai S05E08: 2014, 21:35 minutes, produced by NBC in the United States.
The almost identical worldview settings in the two episodes:
1. In the near-future world, people can rate each other through mobile phones, and the full score is 5 points.
2. The higher the score, the greater the influence on other people's ratings (the greater the weight), so in order to obtain higher scores, the key is to get the high scores of those with high scores.
-------------------------------------------------- ---
Okay, let's take a look at what kind of story Black Mirror spent an hour telling?
The first 8 minutes: The world view is laid out. The heroine is a very strong self-conscious woman with a score of 4.2. She is currently living with her brother Diaosi.
9 minutes: The heroine plans to buy a house, and the price is 20% off at 4.5 points, so she drives "I want to increase my points!" "The goal.
12 minutes: The heroine finds an "image analysis consultant" to analyze her interpersonal relationships. In the era of big data, the rating status of the inner circle and the outer circle (stranger) can be analyzed. The heroine learned that her social circle is too low, and in order to squeeze into 4.5 as soon as possible, she must get up votes from the high score crowd (Quality People).
15 minutes: The heroine started to score points, and found that her childhood best friend "Coquettish Bitch" had a score of 4.8, took out the key prop teddy bear "Mr.
17 minutes: The coquettish bitch calls and invites the hostess to be a bridesmaid at her wedding in a few days, and she wants to give a bridesmaid speech. The hostess gets the ultimate way to reach the pinnacle of life, and starts to practice her speeches, trying to be full of emotion and sound. 2 points The younger brother despised her and reminded her of the coquettish bitch Fucked Greg! The hostess ran away from home in a furious quarrel.
27 minutes: The heroine had a bumpy journey to the wedding, the flight was cancelled, and she was temporarily reduced to 3 points for her death at the airport. She rented a car and couldn't charge the battery.
38 minutes: In the end, the heroine got on the truck of Auntie with a score of 1.4, and listened to the blood and tears history of Auntie's score dropping all the way.
46 minutes: The coquettish bastard finally shows his face, does not let the heroine come to the wedding again, and shows the card to the heroine: Aren't we just using each other!
50 minutes: The heroine somehow broke into the wedding, gave an exciting speech (gibberish), and was eventually dragged away.
60 minutes: The heroine was imprisoned, and the black inmates on the opposite side scolded each other to seek relief, and finally ended in the climax of the loud FUCK YOU.
-----------------------------------------
To sum up, 60 minutes only talked about women The story of how the Lord made trouble with his high-scoring girlfriend, and in the end he didn't succeed in making trouble. The characterization is even more pitiful, and almost all the expected characters only show one side and leave it alone. The 2-point brother just gave a speech to the heroine titled "Why are you fighting so hard, why don't you eat and die like me?", and the 1.4-point aunt just gave a speech to the heroine titled "I have a hunch, you will immediately The speech will be as low as me", the 4.8-point girlfriend just gave a speech titled "I'm a snob, what can you do with me", and in the end the heroine just gave a speech titled " Coquettish bitch, you hurt me, I won't let you have a good life when I'm not good" speech. In short, even if there is no scoring setting in this world, it is still established to change the driving force of the heroine from the beginning to "want to get the contacts/job opportunities/contact objects of high-end people at the girlfriend's wedding". Even if he tried to die, he did not have the slightest impact on this crucial system. In fact, the main reason for the complete numbness after watching this episode is the impromptu speech of the heroine at the end, which is really bad.
------------------------------------------
So I'll hurry up after watching this episode Going back to the episode of Miao Miaodou of the Waste Wood Alliance, I found out how big the gap between the screenwriters' ambitions is.
0-1 minutes: The conflict between the handsome male protagonist Jeff and the black aunt Shirley begins in the form of dialogue. Jeff feels that Shirley likes to use words to manipulate other people's feelings to gain sympathy.
1-2 minutes: Dean brings two tech nerds who have developed a new app called MeowMeowBeenz (Meow MeowBeenz), which is going to be tested in the university. Meow Meow Bean rules introduction, everyone can rate each other, the full score is 5.
2-6 minutes: [The first day of the Miaomiaodou internal test]: Students on campus have already started to use this APP, and many of them have tricks to get high scores of Miaomiaodou. Cool Jeff was still disdainful of this game. Britta, an angry young woman, told Jeff the rule 2 of the game (the higher the score, the more the math), she stood on the dining hall table and appealed to everyone: "Students of Greendale, we don't have to worship a calculator! There is no formula for people!”, as expected, no one gave her 1 point, Meow Meow Bean. Jeff then told Britta that she was particularly persuasive when she had a bit of mustard on her mouth (a key skill get). At the same time, Shirley, the black aunt of the big boss, has become a 5 bean man by means of her "friendly" communication. Jeff became more and more unhappy, and decided to sign up for Miao Miaodou, strive to reach 5, and then reveal the truth of this system to people.
6-8 minutes: [Second day of the internal test of Meow Meow Bean]: Jeff quickly reached 2 points of Meow Meow Bean with his cool social skills. The other 2 Beans and 3 Beans are starting to wear grey.
8-15 minutes: [Miaomiaodou closed beta eighth day]: The style of painting changed suddenly, and the scene became futuristic (in fact, the campus was decorated with futurism = =). 4 Bean People (wearing colorful clothes) and 5 Bean People (wearing white coats) have been separated from other low-level people, and they are guarded. A few 5-bean people headed by Shirley decided to hold a talent show, and the grades of the participating 2-bean and 3-bean people could instantly increase or decrease, making people more confident in this system. Jeff had already climbed to 4 Beans at this time, but without the support of 5 Beans, his score could not increase any further. Britta learned through the grapevine that they were going to hold a draft and asked Jeff to participate, expecting him to reveal the truth of the system on stage. Jeff successfully did a stand-up comedy on stage by making fun of 1 Bean and 2 Beans and turned into 5 Beans. Britta was angry and decided to start an uprising.
15-20 minutes: Britta, who had no one to care at all, finally activated the skill of "smearing mustard on the face" and summoned 123 bean men to overthrow the system. At this time, Jeff and Shirley have a conflict at the futuristic dance party of the 5 Beans. Then a low-scoring army led by Britta stormed the ball and captured all 5 Beans. At this point, Britta was already the leader of the people, and tried all 5 bean people one by one, demoting them all to 1 bean. Jeff and Shirley have reunited through heart-to-heart talk. At Britta's trial meeting, Jeff was preparing to give his final speech. He said that there is another 5 bean person who has not been derogated to 1 bean, and that is the Miao Miaodou APP. It has passed the internal test a few days ago and was put on the app store for 99 cents. It has received 5 stars. Everyone uninstalls the app and ends all nonsense. Everyone went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers. Only Britta, who finally became a leader, smeared mustard on his face in a frenzy, and could not regain his right to speak.
-----------------------------------
By comparison, it is found that this episode of waste wood is obviously more playable, perhaps because it is a series, and each character's personality has been explained before, so everyone in this nonsense has their own role, and in addition to the summary of the main storyline , and a lot of interesting little supporting roles. The costumes, props, and sets are not as sophisticated as Black Mirror, but they are more varied and funny, especially the futuristic dance is really impressive. Chekhov said that if there is a gun in the first act, it must go off in the third act. Black Mirror gives the impression that no guns are fired until the end, and the guns are roaring every minute of useless wood. When I see the 3 Beans in uniform wearing gray clothes, I think of 1984, the futuristic renovated campus, like a Kubrick movie. In the end, Britta, who was lost on the leader stage, somehow reminded me of the Boxer Regiment. . .
How should I put it, how to end this kind of brain-opening drama is the key. The final speech of Black Mirror's heroine and the speech of the useless hero Jeff's own lawyer halo is simply terrible, and it is even farther away. Far less than the motivation of S01E02's black brother speech. That's why people feel like they are scratching their heads, far from touching the G-spot of our secondary disease!
