Film review - Nosedive
Nosedive is one of the
chapters of Black Mirror, a sci-fi
series created by Charlie
Brooker in 2011.
The main character of the story is Lacie,
an office worker who lives in a world where people can rate other people
kindness. She gets obsessed with the points because she must obtain a 4.5 to
rent an apartment. In order to obtain that 4.5, she restores the contact with
an old friend of her who is 4.8 and who is getting married soon. She trusts
that if she gave a speech in her wedding, everybody would rate her very
positively, and she would obtain that 4.5.
Finally, due to a host of unforeseen circumstances, nothing goes as she
expected and she doesn’t achieve her objective.
From my point of view,
what I more liked is the message that the plot
wants to transmit. If we are conscious of the damage that social network can
do to us, we will be prepared to manage social networks in a positive way in a
near future. However, I think that
the chapter is quite short. If the director
had added more minutes, the result would have been amazing.
In conclusion, I
totally recommend this chapter because it’s very important to realize how new technologies
can change our world and our lives in a positive, but also in a negative way.
