Film Review

I chose to watch Black Mirror on Netflix. I chose this because I had already watched a couple episodes but haven’t watched them in a year so i felt it was a good time and excuse to get back into it.

My thoughts and reactions to watching Episode 4 Season 3 “San Junipero” were more emotionally charged than I thought they would be. I think that Black Mirror does a great job in letting the viewer care for the characters in the episode and learn from their mistakes and doings while also being subjected to the horror aspect of the show. I felt that even thought our society now does not have the technology to really make a world that is digital and you are able to make a life outside of the life you live, the concept is easy for the audience to grasp and be immersed in that world. Therefore all of the classic horror tropes are more phycological which I feel gets us to care even more than usual. Overall, I really liked this episode and plan on continue watching.
