The thought of that woman trapped in the monkey is absolutely depressing.
The good news is that she can escape and possibly be like a mother to the protagonist.
@@Kden21 Yo 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
K-den oof
Hopefully her consciousness can go to San Junipero, honestly out of all Black Mirror's episode of scary miscarriages of technology, the idea of a matrix-like place where people can spend their afterlife seems nice and peaceful.
Definitely the most depressing part of the story I think, I think if I was in a game of would you rather with black mirror fates it'd be pretty high up there of least likely to pick ones
A British person pretending to be an American pretending to be a British person-- that's absolutely mind boggling.
스테파니 조셉Stephanie my brain can barely comprehend that sentence haha
i mean dr. house did that aswell
@@shankey1135 damn you beat me about that time Hugh Laurie tries to fake his obviously Native English Accent
Reminds me of Tropic Thunder lool. I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude 😂
@@Apizzaslice theres a lofi remix of that sentance and me and my friends quote it all the time...you dont know how funny it is to hear someone else say that sentance especially here
It warmed my heart when carrie said monkey loves you to for saving her
Me too. It's horrible how Jack changed about Carrie because of one wrong good idea of Haynes.
And it's horrible too for Carrie, I mean, we can wonder if she wouldn't have been happier or less devasted by staying in the coma.
Ein Gipson the man had a man be electrocuted constantly for money. That fucker deserved to be trapped feeling the pain
@Ein Gipson Jesus people who like the idea of death penalty already seem like phsychos. Let alone endless torture. Plus it's heavily implied that the guy didn't even kill anyone
Garrett Prepetit it was codes nothing more nothing less. We could whine about him torturing it, but we could also grow up and realize it doesn’t matter. She murdered him in cold blood, and it was entirely premeditated. She’s no hero of this story and it’s crazy that they tried to portray her as such.
Δημήτρης Λουκάς it’s heavily applied by her family no one else. In a world as technological as theirs forensics would be much stronger than ours. Capital punishment isn’t bad, it’s like a man kills 57 women at the age of 25. Why does he deserve to live out his life when 57 others lives were ended abruptly over his selfish acts.
Some people get it wrong. Black Mirror isn't about the "evils of technology". Over and over again, the show's writers remind us that technology is neither good nor evil, that good and evil reside in all of us. All that makes technology bad is humanity's bad intentions.
right!! people write it off as oh it technology, but it’s those who utilize the technology for selfish purposes. it’s about the people
True! It all depends on the user if they will use technology for good or bad intentions.
It’s exactly that: a mirror.
It’s about how easily it is to get consumed in. No one in these shows uses the technology for good. It’s about the ease of use and the vulnerability to fall into insanity when you have so much power at your finger tips, especially when the power presents itself as a little device (a black mirror)
No shit
I watched this frightened for Nish. She was young , beautiful and alone.I was expecting her to somehow end up in a trophy case
piper xavier that’s what i was thinking
I feel you on that one. But idk, something about her had me hopeful throughout the episode and i'm so glad i clung to that hope. That lil cutie got her revenge for both her folks and herself.
Then you haven't watched enough of Black Mirror!
Yes I was worried for her too. I thought he was gonna try something
I was hopping for a carnage with dead bodies of the visitors at the other side of the curtain.
The whole episode I was worried for Leticias character. Walking into a museum in the middle of nowhere with a creepy man. But oh how I was proven wrong
I know! I loved it!
a racist museum it is. I thought she's gonna get kidnapped or something but i'm satisfied
@@hakosin2355 same, i love how most black mirror episodes have that big plottwist
@@phipschi4255 yeah, and this ending being reasonably happy makes for a nice change!
@@helmy4328 it made you feel a lot better after those relatively disturbing stories, even for black mirror disturbing imo
In my opinion, this episode had to be the most disturbing and darkest episode on black mirror. Yet I’m oddly hooked watching every episode lol
i think playtest was just as Equal
playtest is honestly just as fucked up if not more.
@@elisejackson2854 whats about i got fear of spiders
playtest was the absolute most disturbing black mirror episode
I just saw this episode the other day and LORDT have mercy it was superb especially the ending 👌🏽
Killing the guy that tortured your dad for years and keeping a piece of his consciousness to be tortured forever on the mirror of your car?
Now THAT's metal.
@B I how? Because the main character in this ep happens to be black? You could make her white and the story would pretty much be the same
@B I But this does happen tho. Actually, the British and American systems judicial are extremely prejudicial towards black people stastiscally where they put them in prisons for crimes they did not do. This series talk about everything important and real in abstract ways, why not about the strong racism going on against black people by whites? The concern here is the fact that you have a problem with people that do not support white supremacy and try to denounce it.
@B I Lmao, the treatment of Whites in Africa? What is with the treatment of Whites in Africa as if they weren't the ones who colonized and neocolonize Africa, pillaging the natives there while institutionalizing Apartheid; which was only 27 years ago. What about it? Are you kidding me? There is no injustice in Africa towards whites and, if anything, Whites are the ones still oppressing the natives there by not allowing them there in schools with their natural hair and hairstyles. Whites control half of South Africa and many countries in Africa. Trust me, that would not be the case if there were any "pseudo" treatments.
@B I Black Supremacy of what? Do you even know what Supremacy is? How could blacks have supremacy when they literally hold no power? Making justice for yourself because others treated you unfairly because of your skin color is not what a supremacy is, and if you have a problem with that; if you are so hurt seeing white supremacists getting what they deserve, then maybe it is because you are also one of them and deep down consider yourself as such. Can't be affected by something that you are not mixed with. How is that series "Anti-white"? If people have such big problem with whites, then maybe is it because they need to chill out on their bullshits.
@B I Plus I know white people in Africa who have it just the same as black people there. I really don't get how Black Mirror is antiwhite please explain
18:18 what? She wasn't doing that for pleasure. It was for revenge. Her smiling at the keychain was just her smile of success, bringing revenge to the man that put her father into suffering.
this boye
Is feeling successful not pleasurable?
@@WixkedLovy Bryce makes it look like she's some kind of psychopath who isn't any better than the people who tortured her father for the attraction. She has a reason to torture this man, those people in the museum did it purely for pleasure, she did not.
this boye
Thats how it is in Black Mirror, it’s up to the viewer to decide who is truly right and wrong. Personally I wouldn’t do what she did, I would try to get justice but not in the way she did. This is the definition of “2 wrongs don’t make a right” but if you think it’s right that’s your opinion. I think at the end she is the same as the people who took pleasure in her fathers pain, why would she keep the key chain if she didn’t.
@@WixkedLovy what he was doing was wrong and legal , so how was she gonna get justice ? . personally getting punished the same way he hurt her father is justice to me, now days justice is a word only used to control people. What is justice after all besides what we see on tv ? its just a cheap word used to oppress more than to help
WixkedLovy i hate people like you tbh.
The short story about Dawson was so crazy it should have been given its own episode, but then again....it would have been a very dark episode
I think Dawsons story was fascinating but I think they showed us enough, I couldn't handle a whole episode.
I literally cringed all the way through his story.
@@bionicorange1953 At the start I was like "Oh this is really fucking cool if it can help so much with diagnosing things" by the end I was like "No fuck you fuck this fuck everything involved with this story"
it must have been so painful when that girl stabbed her foot with the plug
It was very disturbing
17:11 I just realized something...Nish kept her mom in her head so they could both witness Rolo Haynes’s punishment. Nish will likely put her mom in Saint Junipero a long with Claire.
The Medicated Artist i really hope that’s the case. I would not want to have my own mother trapped inside my head my entire life
Makes sense
Carrie
I agree!!
Yeah I really hope she could find any remaining copies of her father's consciousness in the keychains and put them in San Junipero too.
This was like 3 episodes in one.
4*
My guess is that they were using scrapped ideas for other episodes in one and made a bigger story out of it.
It was actually lol, reminded me a bit like White Christmas
I loved it
I never thought about Carrie being taken out of the monkey and put into San Junipero. That’s a nice ending for her.
Yea, and then her son can meet her in the afterlife
Idk I hope that's what happens but I think it's intentional that they don't show Carrie in the monkey at all when Nish is there. All those years inside the monkey inside the glass etc.. She might have lost her mind.
@@Biittiriisi No she's a code can't lose her mind
@@yashvardhantyagi0512they clearly show one loosing her mind then become a google home in a previous episode
@@yashvardhantyagi0512 The whole point of the cookies concept throught the show is that they're exactly like people.
honestly, i was on her side when she got her revenge. she's not the same as haynes, because this personally affected her and her family. for the other people, it was just some random person they saw on the news or read an article about. it's not morally right, but it was more justified than what haynes was doing.
Murder justified? You’ve got some crazy beliefs dude.
Dominic Blade come back when you meet someone who tortures your dad and uses him to make money.
Tell him again he’s stupid the ending was satisfying asf and If that makes me a bad person ohh fucking well😂🤷🏾♀️... Bet they won’t do it again... Matter fact I wish His Torture was Worst.😈
@@rainrahman4024 That is irrelevant. Vengeance should never be cause for murder or torture.
@@rainrahman4024 Honestly Haynes deserves AT LEAST half the punishment he did to her family. I agree with you.
Last week I watched every single episode.
It was an emotional nightmare
What was your favorite episode?
Damn, I started in August 2018, just finished my last episode yesterday. Took me like 5 months
no pues felicidades, mañana te compongo un corrido!
Are you okay?
I hope you are ok!
You made me really think about people suffering AFTER they had paid for their crimes, and the pleasure other humans took in their ongoing pain. I didn't think about that, and that realisation really struck me.
I always think about it whenever I see the mobs in those crime videos on TH-cam glad there was an episode that thought the same as me u_,u
Marie Elisa Creepy that some people need a tv show to make them consider that when USA is famous for draconian punishments
Agreed, it makes you think about where justice ends for all human actions, what is right and wrong when you have that kind of technology at your disposal?
Do you think maybe the people didn't know Clayton was 'real' and could feel the pain?
@@lorrainels8453 That's the whole point. What makes something real? I think the creators of Black Mirror take the side that if a simulation thinks it is real, and suffers pain when you hurt it, then it is real. Also, it diminishes us to even simulate causing pain to someone else.
The keychains look like Tomagochis to me, so after watching this episode I questioned whether or not my favorite childhood toy was, in fact, sentient.
It was. Hopefully you fed it regularly.
@That’s the tea God forgive what my poor laptop has seen...
Probably not enough processing power or memory for sentience, but how does anybody know?
Emily you have a big 🧠. I’m intrigued…
Don’t you put that on me.
So many of mine died dude.
Wow. I'm surprised at the reactions. I thought the ending was absolutely brilliant. He caused so much suffering to others and got his just dessert. He lied about the father, saying the family didn't care about him being in jail: they did. The father said he was innocent which I believed: sometimes people on death row ARE innocent. The song chosen was perfect because: there is always something there to remind me. The mother was inside the daughter, she got the souvenir AND she saved Carrie. I cried from sorrow and then was so happy at the end. I must be hella weird.
you're normal, I reacted with the same way
You’re normal I guess for psychopaths. The only hints of his innocence were told by his family. So they’re going to be? Biased! He didn’t mean to cause suffering to anybody. He built a device to transmit others feelings and the doctor accidentally died becoming an insane masochist. The lady in the monkey was not his fault in the slightest. He asked a man if he wanted his wife back. The man accepts and takes the wife into his brain. The man can’t take it and decides to swap out the woman’s mind to the stuffed monkey. They get bored of the monkey and give it back to the Brain technologist. None of that was his fault and that’s why he did not deserve to be murdered. No sane person should believe that torturing code should be punished by death. She planned his murder and executed it making her a worse person than he ever was.
Nothing about this episode was "happy". There's something wrong with you if you're actually taking sides here.
Tushar Sharma that may be true, but nobody should be murdered. We don’t need vigilantes in bypassing our justice system.
@@dominicblade6514 Agreed.
This episode broke me, it was so disturbing that I couldn’t finish it in one sitting
same. when I watched the first half I cried
Michael B. Jordaine I forgot how bad and messed up black mirror was and I watched it just after a Disney movie one day and damn it was a change in tone!!
When that doctor started pulling his teeth out I was done
You're still kid then lol
This episode? Seriously?? Lol
There's so much worse on Black Mirror. I think Metalhead was depressing af, and Man on Fire 😕. The others were usually just interesting to me lol.
She wasn't taking pleasure from the torture she was smiling in her revenge. Standing up against your abuser doesn't make you an abuser. This whole moral thing of "but doesn't that make you just as bad as them" gets thrown out the window in real life.
I know right
Complete speculation on your part. You didn't write or direct this episode. You don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Revenge is taking pleasure in punishing (read "torturing") others for a twisted sense of "justice". Standing up against the abuser is stopping him from continuing to hurt you and others (burning down the museum). Anything farther is schadenfreude. It doesn't get "thrown out" just because it's inconvenient for you to have to self reflect. That's the whole fucking point of Black Mirror: to change your preconceptions about concepts you take for granted.
I don't care. Nish is cool.. Let her smile.
Xelanderthomas She killed a guy. Need needs the chair too!
American Patriot bruh that guy tortured these people and completely ruined their life. I’m rooting for nish, she did what should’ve been done a long time ago
@@americanpatriot8426 Nish rocks
American Patriot oh shut the fuck up
American Patriot stfu
What the girl spoke about people forgetting protests easily & quickly moving on to the next viral injustice is facts! 👏🏿
Bullshit. We constantly have to hear the list of BLM martyrs from years ago. People are still mentioning Mike Brown a decade after the fact... the guy who robbed a store, punched a cop, and then tried to take the cop's gun to ostensibly murder him with it, yet is still considered a victim of racism and police brutality despite one of the most obvious justified police shootings of all time. So no, nobody forgets about "injustices, " especially the ones where no injustice occurred.
@@JakeKoenig k
do you think you could make a video where you talk about the timeline of the black mirror universe?
julie shanefelt I think it all started with that USs calister game developer and then Ended up in governments hands, then the body soul mind transfer happend. The last season is probably the closest to our time line.
I think the closest to us is National Anthem and the most far in the future is 15 million merits
@@gassygirls813 Shut up and dance could also be the closest to us or am I missing sth?
all i know is that bandersnatch was the first, and i’ve read a theory about fifteen million merits being *inside* a cookie
Yeah, bandersnatch is based in the past, which is unlike black mirror, as most are set in the future or the present.
Nish morality shouldn't be question because she kept the keychain. Haynes. Was a horrible man.. Him possessing the monkey alone solidified his darkness. He deserved his punishment.. I think most pple would prefer to hand justice to bad pple. He would've forever got away with this shit if she didn't show up and put an end to him and the museum.
Plus she could hand it over to a cop or something, saying she found it. Then they could take the conciousness out I think...
Jasmine Grayson yet it was decided by her. That’s not justice that’s just a person acting out revenge for her own pleasure.
Typical colored women never taking responsibility for their actions. I’m black and I take responsibility. Nish should be in prison or deserves the death penalty for murder. She killed a guy. Haynes isn’t a killer just messed up.
@@imspoon7188 So according to you it would have been ok to leave him unpanished? Because that wouldn't have been fair at all. And nope, the police wasn't gonna do anything against him, what happened to him at the end was just fair for all the things he did.
The mom was depressed and killed herself--- Haynes is equivalent to the the American car salesmen who sales you that used trash chyrsler--on a two year payment plan- knowing it wont last that long.Then pretends to be surprised when it breaks down and will help you fix it....for a price.😔.#wasteman
WHEN HE SAID THAT DAWSON COULDVE KILLED THE WEATHER LADY I SCREAMED.
Genae Yeah, that theory is Fire.
i know riiighttt!! my brain hadn't gone anywhere near there yet it really adds up
So you legitimately say ... it doesn’t matter if this weather lady was killed?
@@angzpas Who said that? How did you come to that conclusion?
I don’t think he did, she had been murdered before he started the self mutilation. When he broke the whiskey glass he was watching the news about her death.
Black mirror is almost like a warning ⚠️ on how we should n shouldn’t do certain things solely for technological progress sake because the ideas for the tech in black mirror have been thought about or are possible today. Over seas they already started a social credit system based off your behavior...scary that was a concept in how quickly it can ruin your life
Social Credit system is already a thing in China
China is already full of fucked up people, that kill innocent Muslims, and eat literally anything that walks under the sun, so if anything, we should be aware of China , they could literally make all this shit we see in Black Mirror possible
fun fact that’s why it’s called black mirror, because when then the tv turns off at the end of the episode, we’re left looking into a black mirror, like a dark mirror of our reality
fenn look it what china is doing to HK. China is fuck up in every sense. Cops raping and killing underage protestors, n killing their families afterwards to cover up.
@@maddieals not only a tv but a cell phone and computer. It's def about things we do now ,on a higher level, but what will and kind of does happen in real life. Every episode has some dark and true meaning behind it
"I would be absolutely out of my mind to go through every easter egg I found SO IM GONNA" 😂😂😂 this killed me but that's honestly such a mood
Nicole Reed pppp
I get sick to my stomach when i think about Clayton begging that first woman not to the pull the lever when he was first put in that museum. Ugh i just can't... this is the sickest series i have ever seen yo
I binged all four seasons in the last three days and watched Bandersnatch. I had never seen them until now (don't ask why I took so long, I hate myself for it) and you're the third channel to warn against watching them back to back. You were so right, it messes with your head (especially ones with kids getting hurt as I am a mother) but I wouldn't have been able to stop even if I'd been warned first. The show is so good.
Don't feel bad, I never even heard of this series until (gulp ! ) last month !! wth ! Now I Can't binge fast enough !
I did the same thing, they are disturbingly real since the technology is already almost here.
Yah I watched them all in 3 days And I was shook
My sister warned me the same thing lol she said not to watch more than 2 episodes a day.
@@Wine-or5jx sameee
As soon as what's his face started choking I knew she was the other guy's daughter and had come to exact her revenge but it was still amazing how it all played out. And I definitely didn't see it coming that her mom was looking on inside of her. Wonderful episode!!!
Another Easter egg I noticed was R. Haynes is the name of the museum currator in Black Museum and Stefan's Therapist in Bandersnatch!
Also his therapist worked at St. Juniper's Hospital.
@@jimjim377 ...which is the same as San Junipero. Ooooh, freaky.
Maybe related
When the mother said "monkey loves you" after the other girl trapped the doctor...that was so satisfying 😌😏
her keeping the key chain is different bc he tortured HER DAD. It was personal. Everyone else was just trying to act "just" or do things for basic entertainment, she wants revenge on the man who tortured her father, was reason her mum tried to kill herself, the man who destroyed her family. So it's honestly not the same as every other example imo
I love this analysis of Black Museum, you have a very good grasp on the Black Mirror Universe and, I can't wait to see the rest of the episodes analysed in your style! But, this is just my own view on the Nish's morality, argument. Of course there is the question, of whether Nish's actions are truly just, but, look at it from her perspective. This guy tortured her own father for, however many years, turning what was the last part of him, that could have been given to her and her mother, into a vegetable. It's way more personal for her, than any of the other antagonists in Black Mirror.
As someone who lost my own father figure, due to the ignorance of people who were meant to be helping him, I can absolutely see where Nish is coming from in regards to Haynes. Bitterness and anger left to fester, can make kind people do cruel things, to those who they feel have wronged them.
I was going to say something like that, as well. Also, adding the fact that he's responsible for the torture and trauma of many others. He would only be getting a taste of what the father went through even after a few years, at least. Not to mention the other victims. He could be in there for years and it still wouldn't be enough. He showed no remorse. I even sympathized with Daly from that Star Trek episode, at the end of the episode. Heck, he's stuck in complete darkness with no way out for, potentially, eternity. At least, Haynes has a way out.
Plus he killed her mother because she killed herself
Abbie Fogarty he just don’t gave this family money that the father agreed on
Abbie Fogarty if y’all rode this contract IF that ever were made he could copy his brain oh wait is a maniac mmmm idk about that damage of his lifetime investment made to this. He shared he was oh ok another fat ass rasict can’t comprehend maniac father is cooler
@@angzpas are you okay? do you need help? are you having a stroke?
Literally finished this episode crying. All of the episodes but especially this one and White Christmas gave me an actual existential crisis. All of this is so fucked up beyond imagination. After I finish these episodes, I always have a different perspective and it's like my mind is frozen. Might need to go see a doctor.
Might not watch it. Is just a serie. Of you cant handle stuff like this you just better not watch things like black mirror
I agree very fucked up but remind yourself....for now......these are all just stories
her revenge on hanes makes her seem more human, she did the right thing in most of our eyes but still did something morally ambiguous, which is important when developing a truly complex character... not one person is truly good or bad, and they played that into her character well. while what she did with hanes wasnt right, she does it in a way that the viewers can respect her actions.
No sane viewer should respect her actions. She murdered an innocent man in cold blood. Hence why she destroyed all the evidence, it’s crazy that the majority are in her side. I understand that he tortured her “father” but that’s not really him. It’s code nothing more nothing less.
@@dominicblade6514 Your own consciousness is code.
every single neuron firing in your brain can be chalked up to an algorithm of input and output. This is why neural networks on computers can preform human like tasks, they're like smaller simple brains.
imagine if you had a brain surgery that replaced one single neuron with an artificial one, that first fed input, measured the synapse weights, and took it's place. And then you did that again. And you did that again. And you did that again. Eventually your entire brain would literally be a bionic imitation of the human brain, but you would still feel the same and be you and conscious.
You are just code if you think about it, but that doesn't make it any less real for you.
Dominic Blade Innocent man?? Did you watch the same show as everyone else?
@@dominicblade6514 She killed Roland, a man who purposefully refused to exonerate an innocent man who was convicted of murder clearly so that he could torture him because he was racist.
He deserved it in my book.
@@pilotavery you thinking he deserves it don't means that she does. He should go to jail and get the death sentence.
Her killing him just makes her a killer too
Me and my ex boyfriend (of 4 years) watched this episode together, I swear it was because of this episode why we broke up so badly.
I started crying over the 'monkey needs a hug' and thought it was awful what happened to her. My ex completely disagreed with me saying she deserved it. He got so angry that I sided with the mother. Our relationship went down hill from there.
I'm glad he's gone as I've watched it again and it shows what type of person he is.
It's so awful to me too that someone can agree with such horrible things even if they're not real. I've lost many people upon disvovering where they stand in various topics and it's always too sad because nothing has really happened in real life. I hope you can move on and be happy
For real? I say good riddance, then
Good for you! I send you Joy, positive thoughts and strength
Definitely a red flag and u dodged a bullet.
That's one of the dumbest reasons I have ever seen for a breakup like holy fucking shit were you guys like 15 when you broke up?
Nish is very different. She isn't torturing random people for the pleasure of it, she's gotten revenge for her father (and her mother).
By killing an actual human being...sounds about right.
@@nirupampratapgiri9420 were her parents not actual human beings?
@@MelissaG84 They weren't killed! Her father was electrocuted for being a convicted murderer and her mother killed herself. Whereas, Nish committed cold-blooded murder.
Exactly
@@nirupampratapgiri9420 you cant be serious
The museum was like a compilation of every episode. One of the best episodes so far.
-a device that allows you to feel the sensation of other people
-transferring human consciousness into other people and objects
- uploading human consciousness as computational representations.
imagine this actually happened :(
I need more content like this
This episode was 3 stories into one and all of them were f'ing lit
I binged this show all day and it literally made me afraid to sleep
SpaceWizard ; What if you’re in a cookie right now, and Black Mirror was intentionally included in your simulation to break the 4th wall of your treatment & make you go insane 🙃
I fell asleep last night after watching this episode, white bear, and the Christmas story one
My dreams were fuuuuuuucked
Black MIrror: Black Museum is the "Marvel: Endgame" as its basically just the biggest crossover in the series.
Not ONE mention of how Shuri is STILL Shuri-ing?! I only watched this for her, and I needed this, Black Mirror. Also, I believe it's probably unlikely the doctor hurt the news reporter since he was watching the news about the missing woman, when he shattered the whiskey glass. He then tortured himself, and then the homeless man. If she was missing before all of that he wouldn't needlessly have hurt himself.
i was just abt to say this!
What are you talking about, Shuri-ing?
This show is soooo underrated it should be everywhere
...this episode had me balling has the credits rolled so many fucked up things.
Not everyone could handle watching this stuff I think. I'm a deep person and heavy thinker, nothing really scares me in that regard, but this show did. Something about how terrifying it is, combined with how it gets to the core of the human experience, and you can't help but reflect and then be afraid of what you see. Because you're human after all, no matter how different you think you are that is hard to deny. So it forces you to come to terms with some bad shit that is part of being human, and so part of you.
@@Dezzyyx ok so believe in god and after life just want to hear your opinion?
I BINGED BLACK MIRROR!
And yes, I was emotionally compromised.
Me: feels like binge watching
Huh black mirror looks fun...
Me hours later: 😶
*Me after White Bear:* _"I'm gonna kill everyone and then myself... I'm gonna kill everyone and then myself... They'll thank me... They're all gonna thank me...they'll thank me as I'm killing them... And then myself..."_
I 100% binged Black Mirror. I think it might be the most amazing, twisted show ever created and I’m living for it
As a fellow Guyanese, when I recognized Letitia Wright as the lead in this episode, I fangirled hard. That being said, I thought this episode had some of the best writing. It was engaging throughout, kept giving elements of a tapestry that came together at the end, and is an episode that I feel like watching again just so I can pick up on the cues I missed.
One point. You mentioned that because Nish kept Rolo’s keychain, she may not have a better moral high ground than the customers who pulled the lever. I beg to differ. The customers were out for kicks. But Nish was out to settle a score for her parents and to end Rolo from his reign of torture.
I even liked their names. Nish, according to urban dictionary, referring to a girl who is particularly intelligent and funny. Nish figured out how to free her father. And was witty enough to humour a mater manipulator like Rolo to trap him. And Rolo, what I could find was from the Rolo chocolates, having a “shallow and inverted shape.” That he is in his character.
i watched the whole show in three days😂
Jj Lamadrid me too! Like, this week. And I already want to watch it again just to catch things I missed.
same, I watched it this time last year. Glad it's finally get more popular
yes dude it’s such a good show i under estimated it tbh😂
Same
Jj Lamadrid it’s crazy good
I feel like nobody talks about the racial aspect of Claytons treatment and torture. Talking about a “future where mobs take justice into their own hands” ignores the years that black people have been unjustly punished by courts because of racism. That’s context that surely could’ve informed the show - in my reading of this episode anyway
Nope, you don't get a pass to act a fool because someone was mean to you, your daddy, your grandaddy, or even his daddy. Go ahead and try it, you're just gonna prove a bunch of bad people right about you
@@lithuaniaball what a stupid statement to make.
@@lisaalma47 N.
The cloning without consent sign could also be a reference to Be Right Back
You're right
I binged this show while braiding my hair, which is a 2 day event, at least.....I was creeped out for days afterwards 🤦🏾♀️
Great binge! Plus great hair! Win win! X
"I would be absolutely out of my mind to go through every easter egg I found " NOOOO .... " so im gonna " YESSSS
The news story on the death of the reporter was also on the tv when dawson decided to start hurting himself so it likely wasnt him who killed her
This video deserves way more views, likes and comments. Well edited and nicely analyzed... Great job, man.
The problem with Clayton's case is he is punished criminally separately. He signs away the the rights(ownership) of his digital/electrical(soul/consciousness) without knowing or relizing the implications of his actions. This is comparable to signing away your Power of Attorney with knowing what this means.
The fact he now owns this representation under contract is why he is able to continue to operate. As Clayton's consciousness is now a property or object as I am certain there would have clauses capturing this essence.
At 0:59 there is a screen that says double suicide in reference to the dating plot in White Christmas
What do you mean
@@gelsm8709 Watch White Christmas and you'll understand.
@@Xgil2Play okay I watched it and now I understand lol
By the way, you've done a GREAT job of explaining these episodes. Not only are you adding insight, but you're also increasing my enjoyment of the show. I like the show as it is, but by going into detail about so many things, you often point out details that I didn't necessarily catch on the first viewing. It greatly enhances my enjoyment of these individual episodes. Keep it up! I look forward to more!
Theres no way u could take pleasure in torturing a real person without being a psychopath
Matthew Beechey there is a way, called revenge
@@mikaeleugh546 Nope. Only a psychopath could extract pleasure from seeing someone suffering endlessly.
@@Horny_Fruit_Flies I respectfully disagree. Someone murders your entire family let's say. I doubt it would mean you are a psychopath for wanting to see that person suffer endlessly.
@@gygeson5888 You do realize that infinite punishment is *infinitely worse* than ANY finite crime, even genocide? Even Hitler? That's how infinities work. There's no way any mentally healthy person would sentence someone to infinite suffering and punishment.
@@Horny_Fruit_Flies Again, I disagree. If someone raped and murdered my wife, then I would have absolutely no problem with then suffering for eternity. You think that makes me a psychopath and I think that makes me a loving husband and human. I don't fail to realize anything. I want to be as respectful and clear as I can. I simply disagree with your thesis 'that only a psychopath could extract pleasure from seeing someone suffer endlessly'.
You really have to take a break in every episode. Specially this one
That's what makes this show so good!
Really makes up for the short seasons
I had to take a 5 month break after watching 2 seasons
The monkey still has me sooooooo fucked up. I think that's one of the parts that we, as viewers, cannot even conceive. She's truly alone, unable to move, no one can hear her scream, and most of all SHE'S IN A TOY MONKEY
"She stumbled upon the museum" - That doesn't make sense, she came there specifically to get revenge, which you also confirm. As for the reason her mom was in her head was so that she could witness the revenge. She even says "How did I do mom?" and the mom says "I'm so proud of you" or something like that.
Dezzyx yes by the end everyone should know she didn’t simply stumble upon the museum. Her mom probably told her how to get there and was coaching her the entire time.
Your explanations of the episodes are the best, thank you ! I see so many more things now and even understand some of the episodes so much better.
The UN made it illegal to give cookies less than 2 expressions like the monkey toy... but also made it illegal to destroy them.
I didn't question her at all, it's definelty not the same😂 her dad was innocent so that was ACTAUL justicr.
You missed one Easter Egg. There was a model in the museum of the hanged man from The National Anthem
Good catch!
I actually cried watching this. Nish seeing her dad broken made me think about my dad. I felt so fucking bad for him.
This is one of my top favorite episodes from Black Mirror, thank you for creating such a great video!! This is my forever favorite show besides AHS :)
This episode was so dark but it has that very sweet satisfying ending
Ayee keep it up! I'm astonished by all the black mirror episodes and when u explain it with more details its even more of a mind blowing trip!! I love analyzing the small details they add to each show.
Very much appreciate you going through the references to all of black mirror in this episode, I was looking for a video that included them because I didn't understand quite a few. Thanks!
Broke TF outta me when the step mom had the mom up against that wall and the bear was so cute, innocent looking, mirroring how the mother was helpless, and she responded "monkey needs a hug. Monkey loves you."
*Trigger warning*
It was like child or animal abuse in a sense
I cried. Horrible. 😭
But my favorite episode.
The short story style of this episode was brilliant.
I agree it works
An anthology episode in an anthology series.
Been binging your videos on Black Mirror. I adore the detailed and concise breakdown; this got me thinking. Your videos are titled Ending Explained when really what you do is a breakdown of the tone, plot, and subtext while providing insight on the narrative and shedding light on Easter eggs. For accuracy breakdown would be the correct title but I would agree you would reach a greater audience via search with ending explained. Anyway I really appreciate the time and effort spent on these videos and pointing out things I overlooked. Not to mention all off the little details about the writers and story inspiration. Top marks sir. I anxiously await your breakdown on season 5 as I do watching Season 5!
Nish's actions
Is it truly justifiable or is it as inhumane as what the antagonists in the other episodes did?
Keeps me thinking.. I really love this series because of the way it tackles moral and ethical issues in a manner that makes its viewers realize things and wonder about things.
irene x shuhua x mina ; It’s arguably worse, because she is fully aware of how immoral it is & that she’s serving the punishment purely for sadistic revenge, rather than productive rehabilitation 😅
She could've just let him die by poison (still murder) but pushed it further by putting his conscious in with her dad then wiping them both. She killed him twice
its always questionable when a black person gets revenge on a white person.
Harve Seks you mean code? Stop acting like it’s actually her father. It’s just a copy of what her father was. She murdered a man and destroyed the evidence she’s in the wrong here.
AritheVirgo o no it’s just common knowledge that murder is bad. Or are you just unaware of laws, or morals. Stop bringing race into topics that shouldn’t involve race.
Binged two seasons in one go. That then bandersnatch came out, I spent hours going through the different options. Worst nightmares ever, so you’re disclaimer is so warranted.
This has instantly become my favorite Black Mirror episode by far.
18:25 How tf are there so many people who seem to get excited & pleasure for watching him getting tortured & suffering forever? Are there really THAT many psychos?
I absolutely love the way you breakdown black mirror I wish I had you watch all my favorite shows and give me your take on it.
Well Black Panther's sister is a super genius in the MCU. So I can see why she's so smart here. 😎
i feel like when talking about this episode we cannot ignore the parallels between Claytons case (automatically being ruled as guilty, evidence tampering, a whole documentary being stated as fake news) and the treatment of black people in real life. look at central park 5 and what happened to them? Clayton was painted as guilty from the start and wasn't even granted a fair trial. even Nish hinted at it being race-related.
this episode finally made me understand how cookies actually feel pain. i really didn’t get it before because i thought it was just a computer. but it’s a digital version of them and it feels real pain. this show is incredible.
I only saw Black Mirror for the first time just over a week ago.
Binged it in 5 days.
cheesesteakphilly How is your brain intact
Considering how many times Rolo has caused others to suffer and how many Clayton keychains must already be out there, I think his punishment is justified, I dont think Nish takes sadistic pleasure in seeing Hanes suffer, she smiles because justice has finally been served not only for her father, but the countless others Hanes proudly told her had suffered from his creations, he clearly holds no remorse for his actions, even going as far as to keep the monkey with Claire's conciousness in it rather than modify it or move her conciousness to the cloud.
It's also worth mentioning that the exterior of St. Juniper Hospital is Senate House in London, which was also used as the exterior of O'Brien's apartment in the film version of Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Best episode!
when I originally watched Black Museum I assumed that she put her mom’s consciousness in the car. And that’s why she could see her only in the car’s mirror. As stated in your video she is brilliant, there’s a possibility that was the case.
Great video! I love this series
I started watching Black Mirror in 2016 and finished it yesterday bc each episode was a lot to handle emotionally. Can't imagine what it's like for people to binge the whole show.
Wait… people really see nishs actions as unethical? Some of us really live in different worlds boy I tell you. She got revenge on the dude who tortured her dad in the most inhumane way as possible. Imagine seeing your FATHER in that vegetative state he was in. Y’all make me sick
“We see a future where someone can be unjustly punished by a biased accuser .” Well my friends the future is today!
This guy broke down every little morsel of this show to perfection! Black Mirror is my favorite show now and I thought I wouldn't feel this way after Breaking Bad but I'm addicted!
I cried when she said "Dad Happy birthday"
just realised the rats are called kenny and hector, referencing the characters in shut up and dance
he said it in the video
Ok, this is officially my favorite episode up until now!
the fact that she put the monkey to also watch him be tortured was amazing
As far as the Keychain, even though they've been made illegal, you KNOW there will be people who hold onto them. There would even be people who would buy them (like people who buynazi dinner plates.)
Also, Nich kepted the museum curator's keychain torture for personal reasons. The cops slid the time inside the VR world out of a broader sense of justice. The recreators were out for a lark or Sunday picnic. The museum patrons were the same kind of people who would beeline to the freak show at circuses. What Nich did was pure justice (but that didn't mean she couldn't also enjoy seeing the museum curator hoist on his own petard.)
Ah, I also just love the little tidbits of info you get at the beginning, looking back
"I'm here for my father's birthday"
"Oh, are you his present?"
"Sort of"
"It may be old fashioned of me, but it's very daring for a young lady to travel on her own."
"Yes, that is very old fashioned of you." (while thinking: you should be the one feeling unsafe)
Also, the turning point of the first story happens when some senator is poisoned, and by the end of the story Haynes also gets poisoned.
Great analysis. You didn't mention the car, though. Didn't it look like an old clunker retrofitted for electric power, and could that be foreshadowing because it looks more like a car owned by an American of modest means and not one a rental car company would have in its fleet to be rented by a British tourist? The car also plays an appropriate song, "Always Something There To Remind Me", which in the opening I assumed was a random song on the radio, but when it started back up when the car did, I realized it was a tape, which means she chose it as her personal soundtrack as she drove away with her grim souvenir.
as ALWAYS : best analysis on the web ! attention to details on point ! keep up the good work !
I've watched every episode of Black Mirror. After your videos I want to rewatch them for third time) good job
