1. Maybe because it was the new year's release, the screenwriter was much more merciful than the previous three seasons. Although the plot is still dark, and I hope to use the plot to warn the world of the unforeseen future technology and its risks.
In every episode of the season, almost every interest on the morally "right" side seems to finally (will) be served.
The finale wasn't as bleak as the past three seasons.
But the great thing about the Black Mirror series is that, under this layer of obvious justice, if you stop and think about it for 3S, it seems that it is difficult to distinguish between justice and evil.
2. There is no change to a core idea that I want to express in the first three seasons:
the shortcomings of human character will not change in any era, this is the core. But future technology may amplify this character flaw into a larger evil, or a new type of evil.
And this is what everyone now needs to be vigilant about.
3. The future technology of the fourth season focuses on the field of VR and neurology.
In this season, except for the fifth episode of Metal Head - Electronic Killer Dog, the other five episodes have the same warning:
don't mess around in other people's minds. . Danger! !
4. As in the first three seasons, the topic finally settled on the relationship between technology and human nature.
5. The characteristics of each episode of
this season: The first episode of this season discusses the fact that the real world and the virtual world can still be strictly distinguished at the current stage of human beings, but after the technology in the field of VR, cloning, and neurology matures, the real world and the virtual world Lines can be broken and confused. This has actually appeared in previous seasons of Black Mirror, such as 2014's Black Mirror Christmas in "Serving the Master".
The second episode explores the eternal human topic on two levels through technology
. The mother-child mother-daughter relationship is the most complicated and tangled relationship in the world. If you grasp the boundaries between the two. Of course, it is under the packaging of the new technology era. Are children the property of their parents? Are children independent?
b. Possible evil and should it intervene? One opinion is, do not interfere with the possible evils of young people, TA may be self-aware and self-correcting. One is to actively intervene, but it may worsen the evil.
It's also my favorite episode of the season.
In fact, the third episode discusses the insurmountable shortcomings of human beings. Lies need more lies to fill, until they are unsustainable.
Of course, at a superficial level, I also want to remind VR of the danger of restoring human brain memory, because everyone's mind has parts that they don't want to be seen by others. In fact, before the insurance investigator was killed, some of the people she consulted had already revealed parts that were constantly reluctant to show, leaving clues and exploring other people's memories, which eventually led to danger coming sooner or later. But Bao Tiao was unaware of the danger.
The fourth episode, a shallow level, is that interesting souls are hard to find. What is worth thinking about at a deeper level is, what is the ultimate purpose of human companionship? What exactly is the motivation for love?
I enjoyed this episode too.
Episode 5, AI robot dog kills people, curiosity kills people.
dislike.
The sixth episode is actually about the dark side of human nature that humans are good at using their own happiness to build on the pain of others.
Should be no spoilers.
