The Black Mirror season arrives on Netflix on April 7, April 10, marking the decisive turn of the series. Or rather, the return, after the 6 seasons of the season, which set off horror.
Charlie Brooker, his creator, this time offers a firmly human and emotional approach, where the love and complexity of human relationships is the heart of beating the season. Definitions.
Turning point that is focused on humans
From the first episode of the 7th season, “ordinary people”, the tone is set. We warn: You want to wrap the ball in the ball loans … This is a love story that is usually ordinary, between Amanda and Mike, which is explained by Rashida Jones and Chris O’Dov.
But this is a story that drama when Amanda is a victim of a serious health problem. To survive, he must use a new technological name Rivermind and whose subscription will stop growth … (any similarity of the famous platform may not be suspicious!)
This episode is not satisfied to get stronger; It touches the heart. The struggle against Amanda and Mike with the logic of medical technology, its prohibited indicator, which creates a reduction, reflects the strict criticism of our consumer community. It is no longer just a matter of survival, but also a sacrifice and devotion. A theme that is deeply resonated in our time. This is an episode that really forces us to ask about many topics, including the end of life.

Nostalgia and love in the heart of stories
The season also explores nostalgia – Charlie Brooker is a precious theme, even if he looks at the future straight eyes – through stories that lead to lost memories and forgotten love. For example, in “Eulogy”, Paul Gamat depicts a person who opposes what he has in memories of his great love story, has long left.
Visual techniques where characters literally penetrate into their old photos becomes a strong way to test regret and pain. The case question our memories of who we are. Unfortunately, there is bitterness in memories. But it is also a reminder (like electricity) that technology can have an unexpected emotional impact. And that not everything is missing.
And what about the “Rever of the Hotel”? A true gem that reminds us in many ways “San Junipero” … This episode pointed to the real turn of the Black Mirror story with its love story that ends well. This time, technology is used to connect two creatures that were not doomed to get to know each other. It is both a timely journey and a literally impossible love story that has Isa Rai and Emma Corin, who radiates beauty and accuracy in the role of a star in Hollywood’s golden age.

A critical look about technology
Through these stories, Charlie Brooker is pushing to think about technology with technology again and again. It comes to our choice where it is scratches where it hurts. In a world where innovation is comprehensive, whether these achievements are crucial or will be approached in isolation.
“Bane Black” plays this idea closer to the topic of revenge, where deeply human feelings, such as jealousy and hatred, destroy everything in its path. It is the nonsense of man who is at work, those who fail to overcome childhood damage to make him a engine, a creative, not a destructive engine.
Technology plays its role, but it is only an excuse to remind us once again, using it inappropriate, that it is still and always our emotions that make us guilty.

An astonishing conclusion
The season ends with “USS Callister: Infinity” as expected and is afraid of joining the 4th season crew. Yes, we are wondering what the digital clones of Nanetti (Kristin Milliot), the Nate (Ossetia Sadil) or James (Jimmy Simpson), which lost in virtual infinity.
This episode, although rich in surprises, is deepened by moral dilemmas related to technology and identity. Has a digital double real existence? Does his life have as much meaning as his or her original? The question of how ready to go to go is to get rid of our reality central, through all these players who are lost in this game for hours, which is eliminated. A brutal reminder of a pop cover that hides behind each technological advancement often neglected humanity.
In short, the Black Mirror this season 7 succeeds in getting married to a human drama and a biting satire. He invites us to think about our relationship with technology and our emotions, and offers stories that deeply echo our reality. In this more and more technological world, the black mirror drives us that humanity and emotion are essential – the bite of remembrance will never be unnecessary – and that the stories we hold are what really defines us.
