Comparing "Black Mirror" and "Secret No. 9", "Black Mirror" was unmatched in a decisive manner before it was accepted by Netflix, and almost no one did the "desperation" in the dramatic situation. get more in place. Mainly the first two seasons have a total of six episodes, each with a separate story, while the four interlaced stories of White Christmas are also very powerful. At this time, "Black Mirror" not only has fans, but also has thematic expressions, and has superb storytelling methods. It is rare that the aesthetics are really good. , so that no one can be innocent and spared." Without such a good aesthetic, it can't be supported, and the British are terrible when they do things... "Black Mirror" also abandoned the British humor and self-fascination that British works usually have. It is a pair of Lao Tzu who destroys the sky and destroys the earth and conquers our hard drives all at once. But since it was accepted by Netflix, I don't think it is qualified to be called "Black Mirror". After all, these two words are a kind of religion in the hearts of fans. The "Black Mirror" after Netflix might as well be called "Grey Mirror", a group of people who express despair and have entered the realm suddenly play the easy mode, and occasionally give a little technological imagination. It's weird when it's hot. So it's finally the fifth season that I've been looking forward to for a long time, and I started to interact with games, but the people who watched it were probably in the same mood as me... I can feel that they are working hard, they are getting out of trouble, but you are Black Mirror, and you are doing a game-like game. The gimmick is set, and the ending is the inevitable tragedy of the whole family dying. If you can't play, you pretend to be the crew of the crew, which is too disappointing for your inescapable temperament. I don't believe that they are all talented, because there are still others, but obviously they may have been kidnapped by capital, or looked down on the American people, full of cutting corners and self-esteem. Soon this interaction was not difficult, and it was immediately copied by the national drama.
It is not difficult in terms of plot design. The logic of the plot is that no matter what, the protagonist will go crazy and be swallowed by his inner darkness. In fact, other characters are framed. This setting is very unified, because once you don’t play like this, The logical chain of his interaction will collapse. At the same time, most of the interactive stalks in it are just the points where the characters collapse due to the dark theme. It is a pity that they are all closed loops, that is, they are all finished in the end, and the characters used are indeed more Western-styled characters. Guilt, a father who can't get into your heart, a psychiatrist you can't trust, a boss who desperately makes money, a senior who takes you to take drugs, and a technical nerd protagonist with communication barriers.
I can't help but sigh, the powerful creator of Black Mirror, if you're on drugs, you'll earn money, and you'll live a good life. Let's go back and live a little life. Life in Europe and America is boring. Come to the East and stay for a while. Don't look down on these existing life patterns, let your "Black Mirror" resurrect, after all, you have mastered the most cutting-edge dark storytelling technology ten years ago, by the end It's really a shame to give up on yourself.
In terms of content, I feel that "Secret No. 9" and "Black Mirror" are very close, but they are different in temperament. First of all, from the extreme point of view, we must affirm that Black Mirror is ahead of its time (the Black Mirror before it was bought by Netflix), and it is all over the world, not only in the UK. And No. 9 is obviously British humor, British acting, British brain hole and British fun. Both have very strong originality. No. 9 starts from a simple setting. The main creator is the starring role. Every episode is playing a new trick. It has also been tricked into tricks. If Black Mirror is still Black Mirror, No. 9 can't win. It's a pity that Black Mirror is lonely, so the advantage of No. 9 becomes more and more obvious. The first is that the emotions of these stories and characters are getting more and more points. The routine has been understood. Occasionally new ones make people feel powerful, and those who are not good also feel that it is not easy to stick to original storytelling. And it's not easy to come out with 24 episodes in 4 seasons without any distortion. Relatively speaking, I expect the audience and actors on No. 9 to be less stressed and always happy. Ten years later, when old friends reunite, the Nine is a kind of existence that must be hoped for. In the dimension of time, Black Mirror loses, and it may be difficult for No. 9 to make a big breakthrough, but who knows, maybe it can play a big one. It doesn't matter, I love No. 9 and expect Black Mirror to cheer up.
