The End of the F***ing World (2017)
Great show.
Its not edgy, cliche, or funny really. It tackles real issues of attachment and abandonment in a world full of people that glorify narcissistic tendencies. The growth of the characters is gradual but real in just one season. It has comedic writing without being overall condescending to any one thing in particular.
Its romance without the sex, drugs, or cliche drama that is in most shows that cast teen actors. Its refreshing to watch something that doesn't paint a teenager as an idiot or some spoiled child. Instead as people with real thoughts that can cut deep. Well done and has you hoping for more, but ends satisfyingly with an almost tearful point.
The Social Network (2010)
Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg is an asshat that made an ungodly amount of money selling everything about you to everyone that would by it... all while smiling and pumping your kids full of ads.
Go ahead and kiss his ass some more.
Her (2013)
Terrifying.
A machine shows a man what it is to love unconditionally without letting ourselves get in the way. Its beautiful.
Black Mirror: White Bear (2013)
When does justice become hypocrisy?
When is enough truly enough? The crime chosen is the most horrendous they could think of. This way we as a society can sit back and say this is what happens to a for doing something like that, but aren't they doing the same thing?
Another stab at the way our justice system is breaking. Some people will see this as fitting for the crime. Isn't that what is truly horrific about the episode anyways, that someone would actually think this is what justice is?
Justice aims to right a wrong whereas revenge simply aims to get even...this goes so far as to not only get even but torture. Its okay though, buy your ticket and join the mob.
Black Mirror: White Christmas (2014)
A stab at the inequalities of the SO registy.
A man responsible for the death of a elderly man and the indirect death of a child freezing to death gets brought to justice by a man that gets put on the sex offender registry. Great. Except the guy in the cell ends up with less consequences then the person on the registry.
Perhaps that's the point anyways, that the sex offender is the hero, perhaps even the victim of poor circumstance. Yet in the end he pays the bigger price then this selfish murderer that couldn't get over a break up. The question is who was the true danger to children?
The biggest stabs were when the man on the registry steps outside and a person sees his silhouette and picks up the same murder weapon used on the elderly man. That and the murderers copy being sent to thousands of years of torment...except that's not the real person is it? Its just a copy of his person, its not really him as was explained earlier in the episode.
The director does a great job of showing us everything throughout the narrative and giving us a real taste of the inequalities that labeled "sex offenders" face. It makes you think twice about hating people on the registry.
