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

Black Mirror is that one show that is like “technology is an absolutely groundbreaking tool that can be used for the worst by humans and their primitive nature.”
And then sometimes it will also give you a side of lesbians and women in love episodes with actual happy endings
Always be kind because you never know what someone is going through.
That seemingly troubled young Hollywood starlet you’re tryna photograph because it means a big payoff for you? May just be grappling with her recent transformation into a werewolf after listening to too much Supermassive Black Hole and committing a hit and run. You never know.
I literally thought it was a new black mirror episode until someone explicitly told me it was real.
If someone told me that a submersible named the Titan, owned by a company called OceanGATE, carrying three billionaires, had gone missing on an expedition to the Titanic, I would think it was some pitch for a new thriller mystery novel and not something that had actually happened due to the hubris and stupidity of rich people.
On the radio they were talking about Pizza Hut and Toyota joining together to make driverless pizza delivery possible... BITCH, DO YOU NOT WATCH BLACK MIRROR?!?!?!?! ASDFGHJKL!!!!!
