Black Mirror
Just now I accidently saw a British TV
drama named <Black Mirror>. to say it is a drama, I would rather regard
it as a movie. In the first season, there are just 3 episodes and each tells a
delicate story about the desperate modern society dominated by high technology.
I do not want to spoil the mystery of your
watching the drama because I really think it worth reflection. Here I would
like to talk about my own opinion of it and guide you to the journey I just
experienced.
BLACK MIRROR. What is a black mirror? We do see a world through it. However, all reflections are gloomy
and gruesome. Even it is so similar to the real one, it is completely illusion.
Technology bring enjoyment and quality to life, at the same time, bring
illusion to engulf the real us. We have to admit some inferior workers in the
technological society have to stick to their meaningless jobs after numerous
repetitions. The aim is to supply adequate money for maintaining survival. The remainder
is used to cover the expenses of technological entertainment with luxuriant outward
appearance while insignificant content. Once used to the numb life in the black
mirror, we are giving the newly-won control to the hidden producers.
A scene in the 2nd episode hurt
me so when bunch of people are working hard in the gym with entertainment on
their individual TV screen. One grinned widely about a FIX PEOPLE EXPERT show
as if no one else around him. At the same time, on the other guy’s screen, a
piece of message said: Dustin likes BUTHERGUTS jumped out. There was no any contact
expect for the one through the internet, even if the two people just sit adjoining.
It reminded me of the true story of a mother sitting by a swimming poor, found
her baby just accidently fell in the deep water. Instead of calling for help,
she turned on twitter and created an event: my baby just fell into water! It seems
that this world of anomaly is holding geeky people with exposing desire, peeping
lust and indifferent estrangement.
Watching the drama makes me want to escape
from the internet, inaugurate and prosper my touchable life. Things you can
embrace are not in the mirror, but besides your arms.
After reading, I have to say I really want to see this drama~
