The Entire History of You

The Entire History of You is the third and final episode of Black Mirror’s first season, which is a British science-fiction anthology television series. This episode was the first episode that was not written by series creator Charlie Brooker. It was created by Jesse Armstrong, who is a sitcom writer, and directed by Brian Welsh. The episode shows us our possible future where a "grain" technology records people's memories. Thanks to this technology, people can re-watch their memories. The Entire History Of You is starring by Toby Kebbell, who is a lawyer in the episode. Jodie Whittaker and Tom Cullen are other supporting actors. This episode received very highly positive comments and was listed among the best episodes by prestigious reviewers. It has become very popular because it shows us a real and possible future and its problems. The name of the episode refers to saved memories and its rewatch function. Whereas we can rewatch the happy moments that we never wanted to forget through this technology, grain also records our secret memories. The main topic of the story, it's that we should not intervene in the natural flow of life with technology.

In my opinion, this episode is so stunning and realistic, so I like it. However, it's not my favorite Black Mirror episode. “Shut up and Dance” and “White Christmas” are harsher and more striking compared to “The Entire History of You”. Also, I realized one more time that we ought to not intervene in the natural balance of life. The episode handles the main issues that it is dealing with success but I wish we could see more things about grain. For example, when it was put? Or, is it put as compulsory? We see that it was put in a baby so is this grain hereditary? I think there are a lot of unanswered questions but when I look at the show as a total, I can say I'm impressed.

Some questions and my answers to these questions:

Who in your opinion is the father of the child?

I think that's Jonas because we know that Liam and his wife are trying to have children, but they don't have a child yet. Here, we can consider Liam might be infertile. Maybe Liam's wife wanted children, but she thought Liam might be infertile, so he made a boy from Jonas.

At one point in the story, his wife says, "Not everything that is not true is a lie." Do you agree or not agree with this statement?

I disagree with this statement. This episode, for instance, shows that some things we remember from the past may not be exactly that way. The thing we remember isn't quite right, but it's not a lie.

You can answer the questions via comment. Thanks.
