Did anyone catch Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror last night? I thought it was really good. Very disturbing, but very good.
I think my view of human life is more optimistic than Brooker’s is, though. I can’t see so many people watching a man in mental agony for hours, not turning off their screens. Not so many. Surely…
And that twist at the end was nasty. Before that, I was almost expecting it to be the princess herself who was behind it all- she’d grown tired of the pressures on her and decided to mix things up a bit, or something along those lines. Like a comment on how Kate Middleton and Diana before her were expected to act- loved by all, the People’s Princess, all that jazz. But no, it wasn’t that. It was a test of society, and we didn’t come out of it well…
Hey, would you watch the tape of the Prime Minister doing what he had to do? What if it was David Cameron?
