assignment 4

In my opinion, the movie “black mirror” is totally realistic movie. People in this movie live in like jail. Their life is very simple. They earn coin if they ride a bicycle. Cyber coin can buy foods, daily necessity, and even cyber costume.  I think that this movie compare people in the movie to people in real world. We didn’t expect that we use smartphones, but we are using it. We accustomed ourselves to cyber life. We are so friendly with technology items such as laptop, tablet pc, cellphones.

People in the movie also watched many kinds of TV shows. Most programs are lewd such as pornography, bullying fat people like that. This scene looks like us. Most media broadcast and publish provocative articles or videos to pay attention.

One scene that I am shocked was hotshot TV program. This show is only way to live better life than like jail with black screens. I thought woman character refuge their proposal, and finish the movie as happy ending. But she didn’t and man character also took their proposal. I think it describes human’s weakness of mind.

In this movie, most people on the bicycle became passive human who live in a closed, and formal life. In our real life, we are beginning to resemble that people.

Overall, I think this movie gave me us critical message of media effect.
