The Gritty Crime Thriller That Influenced Black Mirror’s Vibe

When reality begins to catch up with virgin imagination, these speculative stories lose an edge over time. The same can be said about the latest entries in the “Black Mirror” from Charlie Broker, an offer that was welcomed once as provocative in the best sense of the term. Our current reality can be so strange that pessimistic stories that cannot help them in comparison.

Every soul, the “black mirror” has consistently told exciting tales of timely thinking about the technological surplus, stupid sources, and fixed erasure of everything that makes us human. The series brings a distinctive vitality to the prevailing TV, as we starve for stories that drive the limits of this type while forcing us to slow down and think. There is a conscious desire for rings that take wild fluctuations, especially the episodes that combine a chilling cream that feels the bodies with the warmth of human communication (which is finally snoring).

It is clear that an advanced entity such as “Mirror Black” has affected other TV programs with objective or conceptual interventions. For example, the episode of the episode in the “White Christmas” episode has informed many basic concepts in “Severance”, while “San Junipero” was the Damon Lindlaov standard “Mrs. Davis”. But what are the effects that formed a “black mirror” as an anthology interested in a specific brand of speculative imagination? Speaking with the deadline in 2024, Brooker included a set of inspiration, from “The Truman Show” to “The Twilight Zone”. However, The Showrunner referred to “SE7en” to David Vinch as the greatest thing when it comes to the armed series:

“I recently watched” The Truman Show “because I offered it to my children who are 10 and 12 years old and loved them. I almost forgot the extent of influence on a writer. I think in terms of” black mirror “, perhaps the most influential films are the” twilight “,” Robocop “,” Se7en “and” Se7en “. “Se7en” is something that I aim. “

While Brocker said this shortly after the “Black Mirror” show, the sixth season on Netflix, it is safe to say that the feeling is continuing and that the “black mirror” is still aiming to direct the overwhelming ethical conclusion of “SE7en”. But what, exactly, does this Brocker mean? Let’s reconsider “Se7en” and think about how to inform the final moments represented by the exhibition.

To update your memory: “SE7en” is taking place in a city that has not revealed its illegal name, where two investigators – William Somershest (Morgan Freeman) and David Mills (Brad Pitt) work together to stop a serial killer (Kevin Spacey) who targets victims on the basis of the seven deadly years. While Somersrest is more convenient and separate from the terrible reality of his job, Mills is more passionate about good fighting, designed to find silver lining. This difference in perspective stems from the fact that Somersrest almost at the end of his career (wearing cruelty in the world). Mills, on the other hand, is not only at the beginning of him, but also has a lifetime with his wife, Tris (Gwenith Paltrow), to look at. However, the climatic confrontation with the murderer (named John Du) puts the dreams of Giving in the most harsh ways, which leads to one of the most intense lines, tragic in the history of the movie: “What is in the box?”

Somerset, the image of indifference throughout “Se7en”, is completely vibrating by the contents of the box. Upon the measurement that contains the box at the head of the traveled trace, a mills are manipulated in the implementation of the villain murder of John Du (Spacey). By killing the hopes and dreams of Mills for a life of love (the murderer could not aspire to him except), John de envy embodies, and if Mills was shot him from afflicted anger, he will embody anger. This is exactly the way things are operated in the end, as the entire world of Mills collapses at the moment when Somersist asks about the contents of the box. Even what is called, the optimistic optimistic of justice, ultimately by evil. Even with the perpetrator’s dead, real justice is still far.

Although this end is naive, Fincher sprinkles a fragment of hope when Somersist decides to retire forever. He says in the closing scene of the film: “I will be in the neighborhood,” which shows that he will not escape from the evil that wanders in his city and instead he will try to face the face face to face. In some sense, MLLS’s innate optimism is now being carried out by his partner, who finally realized that the world deserves to be combined for. This is not completely optimistic because it is sweet and passed at best, but it is better to be without limits Do something About a corrupt world of distancing itself in a constructive bubble.

The promotion of “Black Mirror”, I think Broker wants to capture sweet feelings and bitter, as the dangers of Dystopian must be recognized, but desperate surrender is not the solution. Although every episode in the selections can adopt cautious optimism, the comprehensive atmosphere can be more important than consumed organisms about a fact that can still be changed.
