Black Mirror OST - 15 Million Merits

Music from Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror by Stephen McKeon

[@STLCODPS3123]

Honestly the scariest part of the episode for me was where they literally force you to view screens almost all day. When bing covers his eyes to avoid seeing Abi becoming a pornstar, it tells him “resume viewing” with the pitch getting higher and higher. They force everyone to constantly view and absorb their content. He had very little free will in this world, if any.

[@thescreenviewer1349]

And it is the reality. Everyone is watching their phones 24 7

[@towarzyszmarcin474]

​@@thescreenviewer1349yea. We still have choice not to but the content and drama nowadays is as idiotic as in the movie presented.

[@Youre-absolutely-right]

@@towarzyszmarcin474 we have the illusion of choice, we're gonna act like we have one, but we're still all addicted to this daily bullshit going on and it's only going to get worse as time goes on. If you can manage to break out it, hats off to you.

[@dreamingrice]

I can always picture the scene with this song. That ambition when Bing is trying to get 15 mil. again

[@rrt2306]

and his weird af dance practice

[@reynalduscristianus]

dreamingrice while watching it I could only think about 2 things, either he was going to kill the judges or kill himself in front of everybody...

[@TheOldBlackShuckyDog]

dreamingrice I think of the bit where he just stands there looking at the wall until he is called in

[@BeSk9991]

Anyway, I was quite surprised that he didn't mention Abi when he got chance. I thought he was going to shout at the judges because of what they made from her.

[@pab1381]

Watching when people’s food get stuck so he can wiggle it out to save merits and tells the lady he already drank his persuasive juice or whatever.

I don’t know why but I’ll always consider this the theme for Black Mirror. Even though I know it’s not, it just fits as the theme song for me.

[@greywalker505]

I think the fact that it played over the Season 1 trailer helps with that.

This song perfectly highlighted the horror and dread you should feel at the end of the episode. I've only seen the first 2 episodes of this show so far, but I have a feeling the this one will stick with me for a long time.

[@LunarPenguin42]

Charles Dahill its not liked so much but its one of my favorite

[@ofctoastghost]

yea

[@BlackPlated]

But it is used in a very uprising and adrenaline pumping part of the episode.

[@Calebv319]

This defintely brought the oh shit factor to this episode

[@mrawesome669]

I was getting so hyped and pumped up when this was playing. The music with him cycling is so intense!

[@A_Dragovich]

This episode stuck with me... I love it a lot. I remember my thoughts while watching it... "Oh, is he gonna end himself with that shard?" But then I look at the progress bar and see that it's not over yet. "Oh, he's going to go there himself and kill Judge Wraith! For revenge!" Nope... He puts a shard to his throat to give a speech. The crowd is chanting "Do it! Do it!" and I think "He's gonna shove a shard in his throat now?!" Nope. He succumbs... Falling victim to what he made a testament against... All of those times, I expected for the episode to be over. But then I realized something... If it did end the way I expected it to... It would've been a happy end. Despite the fact that Bing dies one way or another in all cases... But you're not allowed a happy end... All you will get is a gut-wrenching ending. A cherry on top of a gut-wrenching episode. I really felt I was about to throw up after this episode, that deep it got me... And somehow... I liked that.

[@fernandohp322]

I definitely feel with you. The whole show is depressing tbh. But it widens your perspective on life, and what will the future hold... Every episode is a possible future.

[@fabian5002]

This theme made me have a rush of adrenaline while watching that scene.

[@nikaless]

fabian5002 I felt the adrenaline like no other, like everything I ever wanted was twice as wanted for me.

[@scottbarnes6077]

this episode was by far the best I've ever seen in the series, I'm on the last episode on Netflix and personally this episode gave me the most feels. This episode will make you feel everything intended. A work of art, a masterpiece if you will.

[@v10moped]

That scene is me saving up for a car.

[@trippleCS]

although we all felt angry that abi went on and pretty much left him even after him paying for her. But i feel as if the ending wanted us to know that he no longer cared, and his life is much better than hers, which is why they made her look weird at the end, wheras he finally was able to drink something real and look at something real. She is still stuck and in prison, but he looks to be free

[@Zeshhhh]

I think it's more complicated than that, Abi didn't fully chose her future she had to drink some weird juice beforehand to be more easily corrupted. Bing's life is no more than an acceptance of the system he tried to break but he couldn't because no matter what he said he has no true power and those with power do not want to listen to him. He looks to be free yes, but it's yet another illusion or "thing that's not even there". I personally think what he looks at at the end are screens, just without mindless ads.

[@trippleCS]

@@Zeshhhh oooooooooh. Thats good man, never thought of that. Gotta rewatch now

[@Zeshhhh]

@@trippleCS Hell yeah ! It's my personnal theory, have a nice rewatch then !

[@Josh-Jones]

Well, he is not really free at all is he? He is wearing the shackles of having to do this show and is living within the system. The difference is that now he IS PART OF the system which he despised earlier in the episode. So, when he did not have the power he was rebellious against the system, but once he had the ability to benefit from it, he essentially sold out and became part of it.
