Black Mirror Season 7 Review: Warmful Scientific Fantasy Settings

Black mirror It has started to explore a dark, dark, and not technology close to technology. But with the tragic romance of “San Junipero” in the third season, the selections slowly began changing their priorities. Early, Everything It was bad: technology and people. The first was used to show a terrible extent, as it shed light on how her characters were very stupid, greed, and despair. The new technologies have just sparked its worst tendencies. Mize, although humans in the exhibition have become more human. Some are certainly stupid and evil, but many of them are only trying to do their best with the worst scenarios offered by the non -thinked technical developments. The new season takes this philosophy further – so that some episodes have happy ends.

Perhaps the best example of this is the “Reverie Hotel” episode. When a studio for golden films in the era of the era finds the same in the face of closure, he shares a technical company led by Kimi (Oucafina) promises to reshape its most famous movie- Richie Hotel – Bully cheap, quickly, and With the help of Hollywood A-Lister. After losing all Ryans (Gosling and Reynolds), Studio Brande (Issa Ray) signs, a permanent cinematic dotted dies to turn. Instead of just swallowing her likeness to the original main actor, the new version process is something more immersive; Brande finds herself that was transferred to the movie and she must behave in actual time, surrounded by Ai Automatons, which she believes are real people in this world.

Of course, things do not go as planned. When it is discovered that Brande cannot play the piano, for example, it completely changes the plot line, and the world’s characters interact accordingly. The Brandi and Kimi team must be improvised to keep the narration on the right track, such as a type of high -tech angry theater. The important turn is that Richie Hotel“The other lead – Dorothy (Emma Corin) – is very real for Brande, and the two become very close, especially during a coercive interruption period of filming because of the artistic hiccups. The ring becomes like the cross between Ha And Holudic episode of Star TrekBut with this kind of tragic ending ending Black mirror.

Likewise, “Eulogy” is somewhat similar Black mirrorA copy of Eternal sunlight of the bright mind. When Philip (Paul Giamati) is required to help collect a “overwhelming memorial” for his deceased ex -girlfriend, he ends up to their past in a way that forces him to face the harsh facts in their relationship. In this episode, technology allows “introducing” a picture as a kind of VR and Phillip experience, along with the Ai (Patsy Ferran) companion, looking for the details and pictures of his ex -wife that can be used at the funeral. Along the way, he can understand the important details that he missed when he was younger, helped him to close him about some doubtful options. Like “regit reverie”, it ends with a sweet note and bitter.

What interests in these episodes is how, such as depicting love in a virtual world in “San Junipero”, managed to cover up Black mirrorDelegation-to look at the worst scenario of reasonable technology in the future-in a way that feels annoying and optimistic at the same time. Yes, technology has a devastating effect, but people are still able to fight through it and form real contacts.

The same thing can be said about “public public”, Farhan, where Amanda (Rashida Jones) saved her life through a procedure that supports her brain to the cloud. Surgery is free, but Amanda and her husband Mike (Chris Odod) then have to deal with the costs of escalating subscription along with the low features. At one point, Amanda is almost launched from its educational function because it cannot stop saying the appropriate ads for the context because it is stuck in the low socialist class. The episode is funny because of its frustration, but it relates to the strains that these escalating costs are on the relationship that revolves around the technology itself.

Another change with this season Black mirror It is that there are more connective tissues with previous rings. As in the past few seasons, there are few touches: Netflix direct broadcast service It makes a number of manifestations, and multiple rings use the same overwhelming technology in which users put a small circle on their temple instead of headphones. More importantly, although the seventh season includes a direct sequence of some of the largest exhibition songs. Adventure selection episodeBandersnatch“Plaything”, where the Colin (Will Poulter) was designed SimsLike a game that contains a real digital life. Meanwhile, “USS Callister” for the fourth season – where last Genus Coder forced a violent digital reproduction from his colleagues to suffer for entertainment – continues with “Infinity”, as these cloned animals are forced to fight and steal in order to stay in MMO full of players who want to kill them.

Each of these two elements – the least that is abrasive stories and the recognition of last success – refers to maturity. Black mirror It is no longer a strange little man, as it is a major chain in Netflix full of huge stars. This does not mean that its attacks on technology are less impressive or funny, but many harsh edges have been softened to better connect to a larger audience. I will not say that all these stories have a happy ending, but they are very far from the disturbing conclusions of “national anthem” and “dance and dancing”. By focusing on the characters that you can really communicate with, the tragic transformations eventually reach much more difficult.
