Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror
A hybrid of The Twilight Zone and Tales of the Unexpected which taps into our contemporary unease about our modern world - a twisted parable for the Twitter age.
Technology has the power to change our lives, not who we are. The savage brilliance of Black Mirror lies in the way its protagonists are no different from any of us: venal, coarse, hopeful, bored, romantic, and above all, scared. The very best episodes (“The Entire History of You,” “Be Right Back”) are the least cynical; they’re simply unflinching in their depiction of how the world is evolving at a far greater pace than we are. We’re not wrong to like, fave, tweet, and ‘gram. The impulse is entirely natural, even if the tools are anything but.

WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH BLACK MIRROR
Black Mirror is a British anthology series that focuses on how technology intersects with our lives and what kind of darkness can result from it. The show isn’t old people complaining about why modernity is bad, but just explores the darker side of our relationship with technology as it impacts our lives. Its very raw, very chilling, and incredibly honest. Though its basically a sci-fi, its set up to be incredibly close to how we’re living now. In certain episodes, you can practically see how the episode’s reality could be ours even tomorrow. Since each episode has a different cast, story, and setting, you don’t even need to watch them in order and you can skip any episode that makes you feel uncomfortable.
There are six episodes, with at least two more confirmed to be made this year. Robert Downey Jr. even expressed interest in making one of the episodes (The Entire History of You) into a film. There’s also an episode that features Hayley Atwell and Domhnall Gleeson, two tumblr favorites, in a story that’s been compared to the movie Her in terms of themes.
Since some of the episodes are more chilling and shocking than others, if you have any doubts or concerns about triggers, I welcome you to come to me and ask. I would be happy to let you know what triggers a certain episode may have so you know if you need to skip it. However the show has yet to do any of the usual triggers (rape, gratuitous violence, gore, drugs, etc) since it relies on raw reality to shock you. Most episodes aren’t scary like a horror movie (perhaps one I can think of is), so you don’t need to worry about any jump-shots or monsters or gore. Just really tense moments that have you holding your breath wondering what they’re going to do next.

Hola cibernautas, continuando con la línea de posts comenzada en mi cuenta de blogger (juanchouma.blogspot.com) sigo con un segundo capítulo de la misma serie, Black Mirror. Este capítulo me gustó incluso más que el anterior ("The Entire Of Your Story"), su título es “The National Anthem”. Es un thriller político en el que el Primer Ministro del Reino Unido se enfrenta a una delicada situación cuando la ficticia princesa Susannah, un miembro muy querido de la familia real, es secuestrada y los plagiarios piden como rescate que el Primer Ministro tenga relaciones sexuales con un cochino en vivo por televisión; en el capítulo se ilustran a unos comunicadores (emisores) desesperados por ser los primeros en dar alguna noticia, utilizando cualquier medio existente, moral o no, sin importarles las consecuencias de la propagación de la información que den a conocer y a una población (receptora) indolente y malsana. El capítulo es una crítica a la sociedad actual y, en mi opinión, manifiesta los siguientes puntos:
Nos hemos convertido en una sociedad morbosa sin respeto a la privacidad y cada vez más faltos de pudor. El hecho de tener todo a la velocidad de un clic, de poder ver todo un mundo en un timeline y de poder compartir un vídeo hasta de cuando eructamos, nos ha hecho unos seres egoístas y sin compasión; estamos obsesionados con la velocidad y con querer saberlo todo.
El pudor nos hace humanos. El hecho de que no salgamos desnudos a la calle, de que no tengamos relaciones sexuales en público, de que mantengamos lo privado adentro de la casa, nos diferencia de los animales. El uso que le estamos dando a las redes sociales nos hace perder este pudor paulatinamente, deshumanizándonos cada vez más, riéndonos de la desgracia ajena y divirtiéndonos con lo grotesco.
El capítulo le recuerda a los comunicadores sociales su verdadero papel en la sociedad, que es ayudarla a mantenerse actualizada con información veraz y educarla con ella, no volverse famosos ni dar "tubazos" que la desestabilicen. El compromiso es con la sociedad, no con nosotros mismos.
