Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, The Future Of Streaming

If you have not seen "Black Mirror's" new movie Bandersnatch I highly recommend it. It is a thriller that lets you decide what happens next. I know that sounds insane but it's true. Some people think of it as a simple computer game but it's nothing like a computer game, it's a Netflix movie. If you have seen "Black Mirror" or know of it then you know they are well known for getting people to think. "Black Mirror" usually takes it's time setting up the scene and the feel of the show but once you are into it, it is action packed until the end.

Bandersnatch is about a kid who wants to work for this gaming company and his debut game "Bandersnatch" will be his ticket in. I don't want to spoil the movie for you so I won't give too many details. So basically like I said you get to pick what happens next in the movie. You pick the main character's actions and words. Depending on what you pick, you will be sent back in the movie to an event that already happened or you will move forward. Each set of decisions you make will lead you to an alternate ending.

I believe that this will be the future of streaming because it gets people into the movie and instead of falling asleep or just using the movie as background noise it is almost like you the viewer are making the movie. It is a really cool concept in my opinion that will keep people interested throughout the whole movie and not just the first 45 minutes to 1 hour. A lot of critics think that the creator of "Black Mirror" is making people think too much or just making a simple video game with the movie. The responses that he gave was basically if you don't want to think then don't watch black mirror. That is the simple way of putting it. "Black Mirror" is a show to make people think about there actions. The creator is trying to make us more aware of our daily actions. In my opinion, "Black Mirror" is a symbol for the TV screen. When a TV is off or completely black, it is like a mirror. I feel like through these shows we are watching ourselves and our bad habits through the "black mirror". I could be wrong, who knows.

To wrap things up, I really do believe that this is one of the best things to stream and you won't regret it. Even though it is just a movie you do get caught up in decisions. You only have two options and 10 seconds to pick one. In my opinion, it is very intense and great to watch alone or with a group of friends. It will have you confused and surprised also, happy and sad. There are no wrong decisions! Some are better than others though. Go check out Bandersnatch you will not regret it.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
