Hi Everyone, today I’m sharing with you my explanation and analysis of Playtest.
This episode is the second instalment of the third series of Charlie Brooker’s acclaimed show Black Mirror, which can currently be streamed on Netflix.
The story revolves around Cooper who finds himself being used as a guinea pig to test an innovative new video game and he soon realises that he’s signed up for more than he bargained for.
As always I hope you enjoy this video and thank you to all my subscribers for your ongoing support :)

I totally missed the fact Saito alternated between being fluent and not fluent in English. Things like this is why I love this channel. Can’t wait to see more!

the whole montage of pictures in the beginning of the episode seemed very dreamlike to me, i thought immediately that this was either a hallucination or (maybe more likely) a staged scene, like hte intro to a video game.

Suppose level 1 is the real world. Then, the real Saito looks exactly like the Saito in Cooper's imagination. But when Katie took Cooper in the white room, he hadn't met or seen Saito, had he? Then, how could he know about his aspect? Or am I wrong?

@themptytree3145 Жыл бұрын

Edit: this is entirely possible. He knows his face, and we can't say that his imagination produced the exact same Saito as in the real world. In the real world, he wears a black polo, whereas in his imagination he wears a white T-shirt.

One thing doesn't stick to the theory. Cooper died before the whack a mole game and he imagined everything afterwords.Which means he imagined Saito( being the stereotypical game designer) but he never met him in real life, so at the end when Cooper is dead and Saito walks in to ask Katie about the experience he looks exactly the way Cooper had imagined him. I hope this makes sense and sorry for bothering

@tottythetwink6189 2 жыл бұрын

I totally didn't know this episode existed. I thought I watched all of that season Edit: Looking at the form and it said "cause of crash- phone interference" and "observation-called mom" I think he died on the plane and he never turned off his phone in the first place. During the turbulence and realizing the possibility of the plane crashing he regrets pushing away his mom and tries to call her so say his peace or his goodbyes. Causing the plane to malfunction totally and crash

@LondonCityGirl 2 жыл бұрын

I don’t know why you should feel so threatened about race playing an element in people’s experiences and outlook in life. It was not a criticism of the protagonist. Race is a part of life and although it may make you uncomfortable to acknowledge that different races and in fact different people from different countries have a different lived experience and approach to the world, it’s a fact.

@LondonCityGirl 2 жыл бұрын

Oh and the same goes for gender. People don’t choose what they are born into so just highlighting the fact that his race, gender and nationality may have made him more susceptible in this scenario is not an attack on him. It’s silly to pretend everyone is the same - we don’t live in some imagined utopia.
