me every 2 minutes while watching any episode of black mirror: oh dear god

after the best episode (and one of the best tv episodes ever) this was kinda underwhelming

"War...what is it good for, absolutely nothing.. HA, say it again" - Edwin Starr

- Black Mirror Experiences Ranked: boxd.it/33iTM

This episode is real world terrifying to me. In America we have people that laugh at children in cages so I'm not sure we even need this technology.

P.S. The performances in this episode are especially good. I have no idea why people find this one boring but to each their own. For me, from the first time going out there was so much weird stuff to figure out. It was like a sci-fi horrory mystery and I was down for it.

"Nice one fuck fingers" is the best line of this film. I will use it everytime my girlfriend spills something now.

This is a great anti-propaganda episode. I like the subtle parts where you hear the birds when he is smelling the grass.

The episode is extremely slow paced tho! Even the last ten minutes can't make up for that.

Black Mirror Ranked

Good evening and welcome fellow Children of Chaos.

As this started I was like "Oh zombies have feelings to. I've seen this a million times."

Yea, then the middle reveal hit and I was like fuck this got a lot better.

The perfect solder is one that will not hesitate to kill. But people, most people, are not wired like that. How do we get a rational intelligent person to kill? We lie to them. Ever seen one of those super racist WWII comics with Japanese people? Yea, turn the human into not a human.

But then the big question comes, Black Mirror always has this second question people don't like to talk about.

How do we deal with PTSD? Knowing what we did in war? How do we deal. We destroy ourselves or we disassociate. That is all you can do with faced with atrocity, justified or not. That is all you can do.

Its concept and message is great, but its lasting impact, ehhhhhhhh didn't make me go 'WOAH HOLY FRICK' like all the other BM episodes. But I did enjoy the Sonic Screwdriver cameo.

In the grand scheme, it's very generic, to say the least. But some revalations at the last act proved it has some nuances that are enough to make it mildly refreshing, and kinda smart, at its core. It was all about the execution itself that saved the best, the meat of the story, for the last, and utilized it as a plot-twist rather than building upon it.

(7/10)

I didn't even pay full attention. It's that boring.

I would have love this 7 years ago when I still think saying Real Eyes Realize Real Lies was some deep shit

The most underrated episode from the entire series. I loved the plot, twist & turns, it’s idea & questions. Michael Kelly is a fantastic character actor, he’s phenomenal here especially his last scene.

i have history class today and i swear to god imma talk about this episode, mark my words. 
also.. this episode was meh

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

“it’s a lot easier to pull the trigger when you’re aiming at the bogeyman.”

the stripping of an individual’s humanity is a very real problem that very real communities have to deal with. black and indigenous people have been referred to as “savages”. it’s easy to hate them when our brains are drilled with the “stats” that make them inferior. could even bring up how donald trump called mexicans “drug dealers, criminals, and rapists.” even without the technological ability to literally see them as monsters, people still have hatred for these groups of people. “they hate all the same because it’s what they’ve been told.” that’s why it’s our responsibility as humans to self reflect, learn, and grow.

This is fine, worth the watch, nothing special.

This is actually quite predictable and I can see the plot twist from faraway. But still a good effort to show the scary part of blatant hatred towards a different race, and also that military people love to manipulates their troops

This was just a bad metaphor for WWII right?

gostei nossa. estou aq pensando agora o ser humano e uma merda

Easily the weakest episode in the entire series (for me), maybe with the exception of Arkangel from season 4.

sad and horrific piece on the human nature and the affects of war - what defines a human, type of an episode.

Super underwhelming.

this one made me horrified of how far the military could go, so i guess it served its purpose too...

Boom !

Very disappointing
