Postmodern Abyss: Black Mirror

Figure 1: It is said that a horse will reflect back to you what is in your heart. This is why it symbolizes the shadow side, or dark side, because any impurities come to the surface when gazed upon. It is essential to see this side of ourselves if we want to rid ourselves of any impurities, therefore it is also the most truthful and self-aware. source: http://www.vincentfink.com/2020/01/05/black-mirror-bee-episode-hated-in-the-nation/

’Black Mirror’ confronts viewers with uncomfortable truths about their relationship with technology and modernism, paralleling a critique of prevailing moral values. It challenges the very fabric of existence. The series beckons humanity to confront the ethical dilemmas embedded in our pursuit of advancement, blurring the lines between progress and our moral decay.

Black Mirror is one of the cinematic works that I personally believe has a very high level of subliminal messaging in a way that makes it has a large domain of viewers (which is a main interest for publishers, for revenues) but still present a sophisticated philosophical assertion. It might relate for the popular movie —that I admire as well— V for Vendetta (2005) which many people liked for different reasons: the action adventure, the ambiguous relationship, the anarchism vibes, the anti-anarchism vibes (catholic monarchist V).
