San Junipero has been my favourite episode so far (only got as far as the robot bees when life got in the way!) and it was SO different to the others. I kept expecting the same kind of ending as all the other episodes, so to have one that ended like this made me enjoy it so much more. The concept was really cool too, I think - I know I'd love to relive old decades!
best comment ever. sexiful isn't a word but it should now be one. Raiken is king. It describes her perfectly. She's got my vote for being very sexiful.
Clifton100 haha thanx I learned of it from a Bond movie :) I only use it for rare beauties like Gugu, wish she was my girlfriend lol, I would treat her like a goddess.
Some people are born as Charlie. But there is one man who is more Charlie than the rest of them. He is Charlier. At some point he may become Charliest.
I still think it was tragic. People being reduced to lines of code, just another cog in a huge money making machine. You give people infinity, drive them mad with it, then they pull the plug on themselves. Another free slot for another dead person. Maybe I watched it the wrong way.
Or maybe you're right... But I don't think it's tragic, I think it's magic. Just think about the choices... there's a zero or being reduced to lines of code... Who freakin' cares... As Philip K. Dick taught us “Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away" and since San Junipero will never go away, it's real. And just think... You can live forever, your beloved relatives will live forever and everybody can choose when! Of course I'll choose the '80s... Where I have to sign? And I can imagine a family that all together can go for some hours in San Junipero to let the children meet their grand-parents, great-grand-parents and uncles... and they are still young and happy... Oh wouldn't it be nice to know that you don't have to say farewell to somebody you need in your life...
1. Is that any worse than just fading away permanently. Surely, that would be the alternative. 2. Also, who says that monetary exchange will still be "a thing" in this future? (Note that the character getting a buzz out of putting a coin in the arcade machine, like she's never done it before). For technology to progresses to the extent required to make something like San Junipero even possible, then getting to stay there for an eternity may well be something completely trivial, like a store reward card or air miles! If the ability to quickly transfer and store someone's entire consciousness and memory in something the size of a button becomes a thing then it'd likely be just as easy to produce at scale as a common USB memory stick. 3. Rather than tragic, if anything, technology like this could actually completely remove the tragedy of watching those around us slowly get ill and die along with the knowledge that it will happen to us too. It would totally remove one of the most prominent negative aspects that separate us from animals.. The knowing that we will one day die and the fear of that. Isn't San Junipero the same comfort that religion has traditionally provided people with for aeons without any hard evidence of whether the promise heaven is actually real or not? If a religious heaven is real, then do people who end up there get driven mad with infinity also? San Junipero would merely be delivering on the promise that religion had previously hinted at. If someone chose to opt out and try the "real heaven" then that'd be up to them.
It was beautiful yet there were, of course, some tragic aspects as there always are. You’re not wrong, craft makes different people feel different emotions.
@@spiritusinfinitus heaven is real, thats why this simulated reality called San juniper is flawed. Why would you explore a town when you can explore the world?
@@MisterSolitude What's to say you CAN'T explore the world in San Junipero? Even Charlie has said that there are probably simulated versions of Paris, London, NYC, etc. within that world and you even see a plane flying overhead near the end.
honestly that man is a genius and deserves all the awards.
So is and does the woman next to him. 😊
the most unique thing about the episode is that it combines a coming of age tale with a... dying of age tale
Love Gugu as Kelly. She was awesome as kelly in that episode.
Gugu is so pretty and sophisticated!! I just love her!!
love how natural and fun this interview feels, these two seem genuine and well spoken.
Gugu is gor-gorgeous!
Awesome episode. One of the best Black Mirror episodes yet, and that's saying a lot.
I cried like a little bitch at this episode, thanks Charles.

This woman is perfect!

Gugu Mbatha-Raw is a very sexiful woman.

She's great! Everything with this episode, show, and interview is great!!
Gugu is so nice and i think is a good actress
I loved your role as kelly. Beautiful!
Charlier. Is that like being more than Charlie?
Such a good actress I loved the episode.
I really hope that Gugu and Mackenzie have remained friends in real life.
According to Gugu (in the new Black Mirror book) they have. 🙂
She looks happy in your films
She is such a doll 😍

Holy hell this woman is beautiful... O_O
San Junipero 😍😍😘👍❤💕
Is Charlie Brooker sitting way closer to the camera or does he just have a massive head?
he is closer
MrRobynLover but his shoulders aren't wider. It's like a space-time optical illusion.
Omg I was just about to comment the exact same thing hahahaha
An absolutely enormous head
Big brain
It's an amazing series oml 😭
It's a pitty many South Africans don't know her, compared to Trevor Noah and Charlize Theron
He is Charlier :) #typo
It's not really a "unique concept" but still love Charlie's writing anyway
Mackenzie Davis 😍😍😍
