Black Mirror is a sciencie-fiction serie set in United Kingdom and directed by Charlie Brooker. It was premiered in 2011.
The story takes place in the world where society is adapted to technology and all share their daily activities and rate the moment shared with other internet users through an application, which produces a public classification that determines the social status of each user.
The plot is based on the obsession of the main character: Lacie Pound. She lives with her brother, Ryan, but she wants to move. She likes a luxurious apartment in an exclusive neighborhood. Its price is too high, but she can get a discount if she has a 4.5 rating.
Later, Naomi, her ex best friend calls her to invite her to her wedding and to be her bridesmaid. She accepts the invitation, because an agency that advises how to get your social rating tells her that if she makes a good speech at the wedding, the spectators will give her a good score and she will reach a 4.5 social rating.
Honestly, I did’t like this chapter very much. In my opinion if the story were more worked, I would have liked it more. However, the message that it transmits about new technologies is very good, because nowadays a lot of people depend heavily on technologies. It tries to reflect the dark side of the technological era.
