Anyone watched the black mirror film on Netflix?

[Calvinsmam]

We watched this last night and it was a fun premise but my god it lasted forever.

Just wondering if anyone else has watched it and if they picked different choices and if that effected the outcome?

Yes the whole point was the different choices made created a different scenario I got the choice of getting rabbit back and going with his mother on the later train and he just died in present day, very interest take on the butterfly effect.

Im not sure the different choices did give you a different outcome as it kept sending us back to change our choices so no matter what we did we ended up with the same outcome (if you see what I mean?) and we didn’t really have a choice at all.

Was interesting but a bit long and repetitive.

You didn’t go through all the choices then, mine ended with him going to get rabbit and him choosing to go on the train with his mam he died in clinic with his therapist his father was very much alive but Stefen was dead of course I went through the other choices prior to coming to that conclusion.

That’s how mine ended too.

I thought that was the outcome everyone got and the point was that the choices were irrelevant because that was the only outcome available.

he went to prison in the end in mine.
it did go on and on

I played a couple of times and had different endings. One time the camera pulled back and it was taking place in a tv studio. Another time he was in a prison cell.

If you google, you can find diagrams that people have made which show the different pathways, where they go back, where they diverge and the different possible endings. Sometimes you're directed back (eg if you decide that he should work at the studio instead of at home on his own), but other times you have genuine choices.

I thought that technically it was excellent (very smooth when you made a choice) and there were interesting ideas. It did freak me out a bit when he began talking about feeling that he was being controlled, even what to have for breakfast or what music to listen to. I'd made those choices at the beginning so it was as though he was talking about me controlling him. Similarly when you had the choice as to whether he bit his nails or scratched his nose, he moved his hand and then held it back with his other hand as though he was resisting what I was trying to make him do.
