Out of control crowd

As a work that made my Hong Kong roommate with excellent taste shout at 1:00 in the morning, the cold and sharp black humor of "Black Mirror" instantly poured a basin of cold water on my brain, which has been poisoned by brain-damaged entertainment soap operas for a long time. Chilling. The so-called black humor is something that makes people laugh when watching, think after laughing, and feel depressed after thinking - the first episode of "Black Mirror" basically gave people such a feeling, and the audience laughed and sighed, "Oh, After that, those gloomy and gloomy pictures kept hovering in front of my eyes. The irony and grotesqueness made people have to admit the truth reflected in the black mirror, and then they couldn't help but feel depressed for a long time.
I always feel that no matter what I do outside the screen of the TV and computer, it is safe and worry-free, whether it is to watch other people's privacy, laugh, laugh, or make comments, I don't need to take any responsibility. What happens when this kind of onlookers is innocent and justified, and even the state of having to watch under the overwhelming media encounters an extreme situation? Could it be that the originator Shenlong sees the beginning but not the end, and the onlookers and the media achieve a win-win situation, and everything is in peace? The first episode of the film was designed to be extreme enough—the video of the princess being kidnapped was widely circulated, which would make the prime minister lose his dignity. When all means failed, the disgusting scene was staged on the screen as desired, the scene that made the smiles of the onlookers cool and solidify-the national dignity became a sacrifice in this out-of-control feast of onlookers, and every onlooker was here. Nothing to hide for a moment. After that, it seemed that everyone understood something. Everything was going on harmoniously and beautifully. It was just the helpless expression of the Prime Minister's wife and the Prime Minister's departure, and the corpse hanging by the kidnapper silently telling the ending. Onlookers, the irreparable wounds left by its uncontrollable terrifying power.
At the moment when the network media is intertwined and penetrates into every detail of human life, the voyeuristic desire in the human animal instinct has been unabashedly publicized under the shadow of the virtual avatar. No matter how many things with no lower limit on social media and video sites, there will always be netizens who share the same smell. Sadly, while you are frowning at the ugly things, you have become part of a large group of people who are directly watching and indirectly spreading. The onlookers are nothing more than curious, and the communicators have different mentalities. In the end, they may helplessly push this farce into an out-of-control carnival, and then end in tragedy. The out-of-control media communication is like a ferocious beast, wandering in the eyes of fiber optic cables and onlookers, and no one can catch its real body. The exposed, the onlookers, and the ignorant media platforms themselves, ultimately become a battle with no winners.
Is the story set in the film a fable or a prophecy? When my classmates were reunited, in the desolate atmosphere, everyone with a mobile phone lowered their heads and each showed some kind of unknown expression. The scene is shocking now that I think about it. The high-tech double-edged sword has disappeared into the body of the times. The mass groups outside the media have enormous energy that can lead to irreversible tragedies. The prime minister who is pushed to the forefront is the prime minister. Outside the drama, it may be ourselves. .
