Black Mirror, the famous science-fiction series, has started its third season with a amazing episode. It stars Bryce Dallas Howard in the role of Lacie. She lives in a society obsessed with social network and appearance.
The film deals with a world where everyone can mark your network content and your daily actions. If you aren’t nice with people, they will give you a bad mark. But the worst part is that depending on your mark, you have access to certain things and privileges. For example, unless you are over the 3.1, you can’t rent a modern car.
Lacie has a good mark and her old very good marked friend has invited her to her wedding. She thinks is a great chance to increase her mark and finally buy a new house. In her way to the wedding, she will have to fight with some troubles and as a consequence, she will get an awful ranking. If she had been nicer, she would have a higher mark. But Lacie is a stubborn person and she is willing to do anything for a good mark.
I think this film is trying to shows us a possible future if we continue hooked up at technologies. It is warning us.
But unfortunately, I believe that future might be already here. We judge people not only by the photos that they post, but also by the clothes that they wear or the language that they speak.
To sum up, I recommend it to everyone because this episode is brilliant and shocking and it makes you think but also makes you laugh.
