BLACK MIRROR

Today I would like to talk about a chapter of ther thriller serie, Black Mirror, called “Caída en picado”. This short film focuses on a society governed by the stars you obtain from people, according to your behaviour. It tells the story of Lacie Pound’s life, a women obsessed with her popularity.

Everything stars when she wants to lead a more glamourous life. She found the way to improve her mark but a whole series of facts took her mark down.  During these events, they will show us some characters that will have a notable influence on Lacie. One of them will be Susan, a woman who helps Lacie when she is having a bad time. Although Susan has a rating of 1.4 stars out of 5, which is very poor, she helps Lacie a lot.

In conclusion, I recommend this chapter because I found the film very thrilling and it makes you think on the future and the society we are becoming. This film holds the spectator’s attention until the end.

In the nosedrive chapter we can see a future society influenced by the mobile. Each person has a score formed by their actions and compositions, the rating is over five stars and allows them to acquire a social status. If they do something wrong, their score get lower.

Lacie is a young girl with a very good score, but she needs more to live in her dream home, so she decides to increase her score by "using" her childhood friend, Noemi. Noemi invites her to her wedding but on the trip Lacie encounters a few difficulties that make her score drop a lot and stay with a very low rating. In a scene he meets a woman who makes him open his eyes and know true happiness. If Lacie hadn’t met the woman, she probably would have remained unhappy.

finally, I find this chapter quite boring, If the chapter wasn’t so long, it wouldn’t be so boring, but the meaning of it is as important as, we give too much importance to social networks and to people to see us happy when we really aren't.

“Nosedive” was released on Netflix on October 21, 2016. It belongs to the third

season of the drama show Black Mirror, which exposes the bad side of technology

and the impact that it has in our lives. Bryce Dallas Howard stars in the role of Lacie,

the main character.

The episode it is set in the future, in a society that that rates people depending on

what they do. For example, if you are nice to the shop assistant and he likes you, he

will give you five stars. The main character is Lacie, a young girl who is obsessed with

getting the maximum of stars she can in order to have a wealthier live surrounded by

the most popular people.

The thing that I loved the most is the end, when Lacie decides to stop caring about

anything and, for that, she is send to prison. If she had behaved herself, she would not

had ended up in jail, but I think that it’s better that way. At least she could express

herself.

“Nosedive” it’s thrilling and believable because the reality showed in it could easily

become true in our own society and that is why I would definitely recommend it. From

my point of view, it is very adequate that we watched this episode because if we had

not watched it, we would not be so aware about the danger of social media.

In this episode, people are rated by scores of one to five stars in every social interaction they make, if they do something wrong their score is reduced. Lacie Pound, a young woman obsessed with her grades, is chosen by a popular childhood friend as a bridesmaid at her future wedding, she sees it as an opportunity to raise her score and be able to buy her dream home.

During the trip to attend the wedding, Lacie, has several encounters that make her personal qualification begin to reduce quickly.The plot isn’t far away from nowadays either, people do anything for likes. It’s kind of irritating to know that you don’t have freedom of speech, because, for one small mistake, reduce your score.

 Lacie saw a man in the hologram and realized he wanted the apartment, yet I don’t think she realized what he really wanted, that it was to love someone. Deep down, she just needed someone who could understand her, someone she could finally get out of the social media costume with. If you like science fiction I honestly think that is a good chapter for you, it explains perfectly what might happen in the future, or rather what is beginning to happen.

Nosedive is the first chapter of the third season of the sci-fi series Black Mirror that is original from Netflix. The director wants to show what life would be if the technology took the control of the society.  They present us a world where if you have a good scored you could get more privileges in your life. That is the reason by which everybody is obsessed with the rank punctuation. 

The actress Bryce Dallas Howard have the role of Lacie. She is the protagonist of the episode. Lacie is a young person that is valued at 4.2 and she wants to have 4.5  to be able to access a discount a luxe apartment. If she gets 0.2 more points, she can get the discount to the apartment. 

I really liked this chapter because the message of the plot  is very focused on our society and the consequences of being in contact with technological devices all the day.

In this chapter we can see a society where according to your social status, the rest of people can see you as a good or bad person.

The plot is about Lacie, who is the main character of the story. Shes overly obsessed with her ratings, because she found out an offert that gives her the opportunity to move to a better home. But the condition is that she needs to elevate her number of her ratings. She has a popolar friend, named Alice Eve. She nominated Lacie as maid of honour for her wedding. Lacie, saw this oportunity to grow her ratings. The rest of the chapter is about how Lacie tries to arrive to the wedding, she will have to go through many difficulties to get there. For example, if she isn't a number three, she can't take a plane at the airport.

The episode is set in a world where people can rate each other from one to five stars for every interaction they have, which can impact their socioeconomic status. Lacie is a young woman overly obsessed with her ratings; she finds an opportunity to elevate her ratings greatly and move into a more luxurious residence after being chosen by her popular childhood friend as the maid of honour for her wedding. Her obsession leads to several mishaps on her journey to the wedding that culminate in a rapid reduction in her ratings.

I think this episode should be seen by anyone who are interested in how the future are coming from the hand of technology and in this case of social media.  It is not the best episode that talk about that, but it is pretty good because show us the damage it can do to us if we don't control it.
