As the series comes to an end, hundreds of millions of artificial bees are dispatched, scattering in all directions, each flying to its own destination to clean up the 387,000 online abusers. The song "Fall into me" that followed was so apt for this scene: a kind of powerlessness, desolation and despair that penetrates deep into the bone marrow in the last days. What I experienced was the ultimate beauty. (I just want to say, whoever composed this music is so damn good)
The story background of the sixth episode of Black Mirror Season 3 is still in the future - an era in which species are becoming extinct one after another. The extinction of one species will bring huge disasters to the ecosystem, and humans cannot sit idly by. Einstein said: "Without bees, human beings can only live four years." This sentence is probably not what Einstein himself said. However, bee colony collapse disorder does have a serious impact on the entire ecological environment and human agriculture. Causes untold damage.
Therefore, the background setting of this story is basically reasonable. If the background setting is reasonable, it is logical to talk about the story.
Other episodes of Black Mirror have one. The unbearable shortcoming is that many of the story settings are illogical and common sense. For example: the second episode of the first season, "The Value of Fifteen Million," is set in the fact that human beings work in the gym every day. You can ride here to earn virtual currency for food, entertainment, etc. needed for survival. The only chance to leave this place is to participate in a program similar to a dream show to escape from the same daily life.
The first part is barely reasonable. This kind of lifestyle is similar to going to work every day, but it is more exaggerated and amplified. But there is still a question, is cycling for the purpose of producing products? If so, what else is left in the world? What about the industry? The only way for these people to advance is to participate in the dream show and perform their talents on the screen. It seems that the only purpose of all human beings is to consume entertainment. What about other social structures, government, transportation and other industries that meet human needs. , have they all disappeared?
Even if I help the screenwriter explain that the world has reached the end of the world, the ecological environment has collapsed, and humans can only live in this kind of hive. It's the end of the world. How come humans are left with only manufacturing and entertainment? It's amazing that humans can still enjoy entertainment and consumerism in peace and contentment. It's because the entire human race has given up on itself and is waiting to die.
There are so many unreasonable things like this in Black Mirror. I don’t know whether the screenwriter didn’t consider these at all or there is too much information hidden in the background of the story, and the screenwriter didn’t reveal it. Regardless, it presents such an inconsistency. Reasonable stuff. No matter how good the story is, points will be deducted.
Fortunately, the sixth episode of the third season has fewer bugs (the main reason is that the background setting is reasonable), and the story rhythm is also very good. /p>
When technology controls human life and penetrates all around us, we can’t imagine what will happen. Artificial bees are such a technology. It can be a camera for the government to monitor people’s every move. It can be used by hackers to attack each other, which is a serious warning to technology.
Cyber ??violence is not a new topic. Everyone can be a keyboard warrior. If you are given a computer, you can. Fuck the whole world. On the Internet, you are a hero, providing a share of spitting responsibility for the villains in hot events or giving them a punishment far greater than their own crimes (regardless of whether the crimes are true or false). Do you not need to take responsibility for all these actions through the concealment of the virtual network? In fact, the Sword of Damocles has already been quietly hanging over your head.
A creative person in "Dance of the Bees". The genius wields the power of this sword, and then hundreds of thousands of online abusers pay the price for their actions under the overwhelming swarm.
The keyboard warrior thinks he is zealously upholding justice, and this genius hacker also thinks he is upholding justice. Everyone thinks he is righteous. But is this maintaining justice or is it highlighting his low intelligence (the ability to distinguish right from wrong and analyzing things is zero) and his strong spiritual power (referred to as leisure).
At the end of the film, the heroine comes out of the court and sits in a car. Crowds of people crowd both sides of the road to seek an explanation for the 387,000 people who died. The director specially gave a clear shot of an angry young man holding a Justice sign and knocking on the heroine's car window to seek fairness and justice. I was afraid of what justice looked like in the heart of this angry and impulsive young man.
The law was enacted to avoid this frightening idea of ??fairness and justice in everyone's mind. After all, not everyone knows what true justice is.
