Black Mirror - Blog Posts

Hotel Reverie starts as a satirical commentary on soulless remakes, and one of the "jokes" is that they recast the main white guy as a Black woman, in a period piece where a Black woman feels anachronistic. This could have become a conservative comment about "forced diversity" and the woke agenda. Or it could have been a progressive comment about Hollywood casting non-white actors in color blind roles while ignoring the racist undertones of the media they're adapting.

But the brilliance of the episode is that it ends up being neither. As soon as Clara/Dorothy becomes sentient, the central theme shifts around human connection and what links us to the poeple who preceeded us. It is heavily implied that the real Dorothy was a lesbian and deeply unhappy in a time period that did not allow her self expression. Her AI version finds this freedom in her relationship with Brandy.

In the end, the message of the episode feels more that poeple have always been poeple. Society changes, becomes more accepting of certain communities, but that doesn't mean those minorities did not exist in the past. And the movie being a success despite the anachronisms is a proof that it works both ways, and modern day people can still relate to old timey stories and project ourselves in them with our own modern mindset.

First time watching Black Mirror ever and I want to cry in a corner

Film producers shouldn’t cut corners and use AI to create films cheaply because the lead actress might get trapped in a computer simulation with the ghost of a closeted actress from the 1940s and end up having a tragic lesbian romance and then where would you be

Me when I see a piece of media about something I’m hyperfixated on:

Idk but there is something so captivating in this aesthetic

I wonder if San Junipero was based on Heaven is a Place on Earth or they wrote the episode and then thought of the song because DAMN DO THEY GO TOGETHER

Yesterday I was watching Black Mirror and when Ash tell Martha that she could literally put him on a body I instantly thought about Wheatley on the Blue Sky fan fiction. Because, she put an AI on a human body, and at first she was confused about how much he looked like the real Ash, but after some time, it didn't feel right because he wasn't a human, and he couldn't act like one even though he wanted to. And that really make me feel sad
