  • @Atlas65
    @Atlas65 7 лет назад +51

    With all due respect you need to watch White Christmas again, because apparently you didn´t really get it. It is false that the guy wasn´t real. He was real, he wanted to have a relationship with his daughter. However the copy of him (his conciousness) wasn´t real, and they god the confession out from the copy of him, while he was locked up in his prison cell.

    • @misteramazing
      @misteramazing  7 лет назад +16

      Stefán Atli Jakobsson yea, I got it. But I wasn't going to explain all that though. It would've ruined the cadence of my speech. The consciousness of the man that was telling our story was an artificial copy of real consciousness. Thus, it was not real consciousness and the man was not real.

    • @Atlas65
      @Atlas65 7 лет назад +3

      I get what you are saying, when you put it like that the message is clear. I did not mean to ffend you if I did (text on the internet doesn´t express emotion, so neither me or you doesn´t know with kind of tone we are saying the things that we are saying ;) )

    For me, "Nosedive" was pretty much the only happy non ironic ending. She was accepting of what her life was. She actually got to do what she wanted.

  • @SunlightHugger
    @SunlightHugger 7 лет назад +3

    I'd like to think that the man from 15 Million Merits is going to keep "acting" until he can get to her again. The penguin in the last shot shows that he hasn't forgotten her, and I sincerely hope he's working towards a rescue of some sort.

  • @flutterface
    @flutterface 7 лет назад +2

    What I love about Black Mirror is every episode feels like a slightly different outcome of the technological progression of today. Some aren't even in the future, but all those that are feel pretty real. Each one focuses on a different aspect that could be nightmarish if taken to the extreme and Black Mirror manages to take it to the extreme and still keep itself grounded. It's genius.

    @EhCanadianGamer 7 лет назад

    I dunno, your video gave me a completely different impression on the show. It does have many dystopian aspects to it. But to me it's an amazing anthology series where each episode is its own story. It's basically a modern twilight zone, and I fucking love it.

    You forgot the best part from ep 2 "15 Million Merits". The love interest was given no choice because of the drink ,Compliance, given to her to accept her degrading new job as a pornstar.
    As for the lead he tricked the stage hand into thinking he already took the Compliance drink so he willingly sold out for a life of leisure.
    That's why I love that episode so much

    • @misteramazing

    The concept of "Black Mirror" made me think the show was just a dark reflection of ourselves and society. However the name Black Mirror comes from the reflective nature of a lcd TV or smart phone. Theyre black yet shiny like a black mirror and thats where the name comes from. Its a great thought but i always thought my first instincts were more poetic.

    @seanparmer3255 7 лет назад

    Love the video but I have to comment about your summary of Nosedive, which happens to be my personal favorite episode. While we are supposed to root for our main character in her drive to be happy and financially stable, I felt that, as an audience, we end up disagreeing with her as we see her put on a fake smile and make her decisions solely based on rising through the social ranks in that society and ends up being a mean, selfish person. However, when she meets the truck driver she learns that to be truly happy, she must get rid of the fake-ness surrounding her and her society and truly be herself and say what is on her mind, and she achieves this by the end of the episode when it seems like she has lost everything. She is left locked up in a cell, her social status all but destroyed, and yet, as she and her fellow inmate throw insults at each other, something that has been shown to be taboo in this society, we can see that both her and her fellow inmate are the only ones truly happy.

    White bear was poorly written and was a chore to watch. The directing in the military one gave me eye cancer, but the writing redeemed the entire episode at the end because i had read about that exact study just a week prior, so it was really cool to see how they spun that further.
    The Lawyer and the Gaming episodes were the most memorable, and the best imo.
