#NOSEDIVE BLACK MIRROR LACIE HD TV#
My biggest takeaway from this episode was the realization that even though this is just a tv show that seems like a far-fetched idea, is actually more current than we might like to believe. She ends up in a jail cell, without technology and is forced to face the facts of what her life has become: Only concerned about her social gain.īlack Mirror | Nosedive Featurette | Netflix That is, until her whole trip derails and she is given bad ratings left and right. In the film, she gets invited to an old friend’s wedding, this friend is of a substantially higher rating, therefore Lacie sees this as an amazing opportunity. Lacie is constantly seeking the approval of “higher rated” people: in order to gain popularity as well as climb the socioeconomic ladder. Everyone has the tendency to put their best foot forward online, despite the turmoil that may cause to those viewing it. How realistic is your social media? How often do you take dozens of pictures before posting one? How often do you see other peoples socials, that lead you to criticize yourself? That is one of the major themes in this episode. The reason that I am choosing to focus solely on social media is because of society’s current dependency on it.
We see right from the beginning of the episode that it focuses heavily on not only social identities, but socioeconomic identities as well. The episode is called Nose Dive it follows the main character Lacie, and her journey through social media. There is one episode in particular that relates extremely well to social media, and allows the watcher to think of changes they may need to implement in their real lives. You might be asking yourself how does a show like this have anything to do with media literacy and social media. I am not sure how many people are familiar with the show “Black Mirror,” but it is one of the most interesting and thought provoking shows on Netflix.
