NOSEDIVE REVIEW - AITOR DIAZ



NOSEDIVE


Nosedive is a chapter of the science-fiction British serie Black Mirror. It’s the first chapter of the third season and it was released on 21 October 2016. The episode is set in a world where people can rate each other from one to five stars as if they were a product.


The society qualifies each other with a mobile app from 1 to 5 and their socioeconomic status depends on the mark they have. Lacie, who’s a 4’2, has to raise her mark for acquiring a discount on an apartment. Lacie receives a call from Naomi, her childhood’s best friend, who invites her to her wedding. Naomi is actually a 4.8 and Lacie thinks it’s a good idea to be surrounded of highly-rated people, so she decides to attempt to the event.
Unlucky events caused people rate Lacie negatively, decreasing her average mark. Because of that, Naomi decides to tell Lacie to not come, even though she had done an exhausting trip. Lacie reaches the wedding and starts her speech about how Naomi really is, an horrible friend who doesn’t care, causing her mark decrease more and more. She’s arrested by the police and once she enters prison she realises that she’s now free, free of that stupid society that ranks people.


For me the best part of the episode is when she realises that what the other ones think isn’t important, that you don’t have to dress up as another person for them to like you.


I wouldn’t change anything, I love how it ends.


I highly recommend the film because in my opinion our society will turn as the episode’s one.

INFORMAL LETTER ÁLVARO NAVARRO HERNÁNDEZ

INFORMAL LETTER Hello Amelia, What’s going on? I have just received  your email because I was spending a few days in a Royal Academy so I couldn’t read your message. I know that you have a big deal for this summer between working on your dream job as a dance teacher or visiting your brother to Australia. I know that you haven’t seen your brother since High School but, in my opinion , you may talk with your brother once a week using Skype. Also, it seems to me that this job is only one opportunity for you to live new experiences as a professional and you must enjoy it. I tell you all this because I feel that your had gone to Australia because he’s chasing his dreams and you should do the same as him. I hope my advice were helpful for you. Lots of kisses, Álvaro.

INFORMAL LETTER DAVID GÁLVEZ NAVAJAS

INFORMAL LETTER  Hi Amelia,  How have you been lately? How are you handling this unusual situation? What are  you doing not to get bored? Hopefully you and all your family is good!  I received your letter but I couldn't answer it because the wifi didn't work. It is well  known for me that your dream since you were a girl has always been to work as a  dance teacher. Nonetheless, do you think you would be able to do it, as you have  been injured this year? In my opinion , you have to pay more attention to the doctor,  who told you that you could not play sports until next year.  On the other hand , you have the opportunity to go to Australia to visit your brother  and spend the summer on the beautiful beaches that we were seeing last class day!  Furthermore , you will rarely have another opportunity to go to Australia, so you  should take advantage of it. Finally , your brother would be very excited to se...
