The first American drama I watched in 2018, Black Mirror 4. A feeling is missing.
In my opinion, the most basic requirement of a movie, TV series, or novel is to tell a good story to the readers. If the reader resonates with the author, the reader appreciates the charm of the author's story, and generates an emotion, whether it is the author's original intention or not, then this matter is successful, and the author is successful. This requires that the author needs more, better storytelling ability than the average person, and better stories.
It may be that the stories that reality has come into contact with are already very surprising and shocking, alpha go/zero, unmanned supermarkets, robot dogs that keep standing, robots that can do backflips, etc. The reality makes this film in a novel direction of the story It didn't give me any extra feeling.
It may also be that I was looking forward to a roller coaster-like thrill, suspense, amazement, ups and downs, but every episode of Black Mirror 4 is like a straight walk, standing at the beginning and already guessing what the end is.
Maybe it's because I didn't mobilize my nerves, the story is here, what you say is what you say. But that's because the author failed to mobilize the reader's emotions. .
I don't feel anything about what happened to the male lead CTO in the first episode. I just feel that if the technology advances to the point of copying the soul, why would there be no blocking or protection measures, and there would be no corresponding laws to determine the relationship between the copied soul and the soul? A true soul relationship? The technology that the story relies on is still the technology of the "Christmas Special", and there is nothing special about the story, which makes me completely uninterested in it. Doesn't "Black Mirror" mean our reflections when people turn off their phone screens and see themselves? For the problems caused by technology, there is no update, no more detailed discussion, more like the result of a set of templates, I don't like it.
In the second episode, the heroine lost her child. I am afraid everyone can guess the ending, and there is no sympathy. This problem is a current problem, not a future problem, the author is lazy.
What is the author of the third episode trying to convey? Skynet is back? do not know
Episode 4 is my favorite, it illustrates another possibility for technology, but, it's not dark enough. .
Episode 5, what can I say. .
Episode 6 Justice?
That's it, I've seen it, I don't like it. One point to the picture, one point to the waiting, I am waiting for it.
