At the end of 2017, we ushered in the serialization of my favorite British drama series, and I did not miss the appointment like last year. Because the No. 9 secret will be coming back soon next month, so I watched three episodes a day non-stop.
Although it is still the exquisite plot design of the Black Mirror series and the scenes and props with a sense of technology, the exquisiteness makes people want to cry.
But I gave it four stars, the first time I've given this series four stars. It's not that the writers and directors didn't perform well, it just seemed that there were no unexpected surprises.
Five of the six episodes focus on the future of the future. Human consciousness has become AI. The development of science and technology also induces moral consequences. How to balance human nature and technology.
The first episode, an immersive spaceship game, pays homage to Star Trek. The society is afraid of revenge, the consciousness is trapped, and the setting of not seeking eternal life but seeking death can be said to be eye-catching. There is neither the mystery of the third season horror game, but also the story is well rounded back. But after reading it, I was very confused. Since consciousness is higher than existence, AIs killed the male protagonist. Isn't this a crime? Why can't you create a small world to entertain yourself, and why is torturing AI a villain? The ending of this he made me a little disappointed.
In the second episode, the doting and over-nurturing of children actually contributed to the reverse psychology. We all know this. There is not much new idea in the design of the archangel, but the heroine's mother's acting skills are really great, and the filtering function is also thought-provoking. , probably my favorite episode.
In the third episode, I was still thinking about the meaning of crocodile when I first saw it halfway through. When I saw the heroine become a serial killer step by step, I understood. Technology is a double-edged sword in order to find out the murderer's memoir based on eyewitnesses and instead degenerate the murderer into a murderer.
In the fourth episode, many people compare this episode with Saint Junipero in the third season, but I think there is no comparison at all, no matter from the comparison of cloud memory and the setting of Truman World, or from the comparison of the appeal of the two loves , Hang the DJ are slightly inferior. One is to regenerate love, and the other is to test how real love is.
The fifth episode, I personally think it is a more frightening and a bit of an episode that the screenwriter pretends to be advanced. In the barren future, humans avoid the pursuit of metal dogs for teddy bears. It's just that I have doubts about many places, so I will not comment for the time being, such as human guns, how did the house come to be, and why did people die, etc.
The sixth episode, the one that is most like Secret No. 9. The opening is very interesting for the collection of murder weapons in the first five episodes. The boss's introduction to the heroine, as well as the details of the air conditioner, it can be seen that the heroine uses the same method to fight back. It is obvious. If our consciousness is so ubiquitous in the future, then there is really no need to worry about dying, or our concept of life and death will change even more.
The director of season 4 likes to enhance the details, the lollipops in episode 1, the juice for breakfast in episode 2, the beer in episode 3, the water in episode 4, the candy in episode 5, the air conditioner in episode 6 . While these details moved the plot forward, they also left a lasting impression on us, keeping each episode fresh in our minds.
Looking back on the first three seasons, there are episodes that I remember deeply, Power Bike, White Bear, Fake Boyfriend, San Junipero, Eye Recorder, Soldier with a Monster in the Eyes.
And the fourth season seems to just repeat these ideas, non-stop playing with implants, memory playback, immersive games, ideology, simulated social interaction, real-time monitoring.
After reading it, I think about it, I really think about it, but I don't have the excitement of wanting to stand up and applaud.
British dramas are in the essence and in the finesse. It is better to make a good idea for a blowout. I look forward to the fifth season if there is any.
