Blak Mirror: White Christmas

Black Mirror is a British series created by Charlie Brooker that talk and show how the world Could be with all our "fantastic" technology. Black Mirror shows a black society Where Have improved the technology without any moral or ethical wall and people Have Become Slaves of Their Own "progress".

I read from the author of the series That the title comes from what you find in every wall, every desk and in the palm of every hand: the black and cold screen of a TV, smartphone or monitor.

Black Mirror is a whole of different episodes without any relation Between them, I mean; you can watch without Have Seen number three number two or one. They are only related with the topic and the structure but are completely independent With different characters and stories.

I really love this series and I think it is fantastic! I started watching it last year to episodes Because We saw in class. The series is only in Inglés so you can see the Original version, but Also you can find it with subtitles. There are two seasons With three episodes each one. Everybody is impatient waiting for the third season of the series, but we Could see one special chapter for Christmas and, like all the other chapters, it was great. Now I would like to talk about this last one: White Christmas.


I think it is the longest one and it Could Be Considered like a film Because It Seems really one. In there we can find famous actors like Jon Hamm and Rafe Spall Who are the two main characters. The chapter is divided into three stories, but each one is Very Important to Understand the main one, Although They are not linked.

All starts one Christmas day Where Jon Hamm and Rafe Spall Should spend it in a small house in the middle of the nothing can go anywhere without Because of the extreme wind and snowfalls. It is supposed That They are in the hunt since four years ago. Jon Hamm tries to start a Conversation with Rafe who does not like to talk much and Explain His past life. Jon Hamm tries to Talk with him and I starts to Explain to him how His old job was and what I Makes.

Then the different stories start to alternate and each one is a clue to what is happening and Understand Where They whos are.


The technology is to criticize in the fact of "blocking" people in real life in the same way you can do in the social networkers. In this view of the future, people If They Could block people get angry With them or if They only do not want to see them or listen to them.


At the same time, people have a graft in brain and They are reliable to take out Their mind from Their head and use it like "slaves" at Their service stored in a little machine called "cookie".

Then anyone can take your mind and explore your regards, Thinks stealing all your secrets or privacy, freedom and intimacy.

In White Christmas, there are some topics That Were Already dealt in other chapters before, like privacy or the fact you can take out your mind. But it introduce new ways to use the technology.


All is fiction but at the same time everybody knows It could be very true and it is the more frightening thing, I think. All the technology there is in Black Mirror is nowadays in reach and the view of a society, like is shown in Black Mirror, is not as far as We Could think.
Black Mirror has a very critic view of new technology and the society That is building around them. Every chapter is full of contrast and keeps you thoughtful for some days.

I recommend it a lot, although  you do not want to see the critical side, ever chapter is intense and full of intrigue and Things That will leave you stunned.
