    Well this was ahead of it's time.

      Pretty privilege has always been a thing. Anyone who thinks this doesn't exists is crazy.
      The real two problems with these people is that, the dude tried to change everything by himself and the attractive woman should not be that naive about the world she's in.

      @@richariot8325 No. Bing is not a hero in this story - he is just one of the people the camera focuses on.
      Bing likes her because she's pretty - her prettiness is actually emphasized on in this film. She got the ticket because Bing found her attractive and wanted her company. Even on the stage, she got an adulteress job for her looks.
      Bing does the same thing - he works for the one shot he could get. He tries to preach to them about the human principles they're breaking. But then, he gets offered a position outside of the cell - he goes for it. He's not killing himself.
      Also, keep in mind, he only got hired because the crowd got silent and actually listened to him. If they laughed and told him to die anyways, the hosts wouldn't have offered him any shot even if he was speaking the truth.

The only difference is some are more gilded and glamorous while others can be even worse than the one you already have. The best thing you can do is try to escape the cage and find a new life. Alas this poor man is just in another cage and he will have to live with that for the rest of his life.

      It’s an allegory of the Black Mirror creator who also wrote this episode. Charlie Brooker was just another nobody like us until he started ranting against British pop culture and has his own show called screenwipe. Besides black mirror he has also made the two running series at the end of each year since 2020 called “Death to 202x”
      Now he’s just as rich as the people he is ranting against, but now he’s paid for it and arguably has a better life than the rest of us.

Now here I am three years later, my post pandemic-new normal self writing this comment and painfully realizing that this dystopian reality is slowly coming true.

These days college degrees are useless, and jobs don't pay, so the only hope of escaping the lower class is to get yourself internet famous or bend your morals so you can make it to the top. Even if you do make it, you'll end up selling your soul trying to maintain your worth. There's no middle class, and we have no idea who's actually in charge, what we are working for, who is actually benefitting from this system, and who is making these rules.

They already do that in China and if you pay attention to the world the 'World Health Organization' (aka Bill Gates company which he owns through donations) wants to implement biometric I.D which would track everything you do for the benefit of people's "Health."
      I've been trying to warn people about this since it was proposed not long ago (maybe a month ago)
      Many nations agreed to it! The few that didn't were African countries, which makes you wonder, besides the obvious point of control, why Africa a continent many first worlder's see as needing help Health wise, would reject a proposal for the benefit of public health. Because it's BS!
      Currently it's on hold, but if people don't start acting now that terrifying episode could LITERALLY become reality! Please please please share this information with anybody you know who has seen that episode or whom you think would care.
      If you want more information on biometric I.D a youtube channel I would recommend would be "The Hill" for one, Jimmy Dore if you wanna hear a comedian discuss our current state of affairs, although there are many channels in which you can find this information.
      Seriously though this isn't some sort if joke this is real and scary 😱😭

    all joking aside getting paid to ride a stationary bike to help augment the town/city's power grid does seem like a sweet gig *IF* you can ride as much or as little as you want and get paid for the power you generate

      Energy is too cheap for the pay to matter. 1 hour of biking makes about 100 watts of energy, so if you bike as a full time job for 8 hours a day 5 days a week, even in a country with expensive electricity you'd come out with basically nothing. Denmark charges 36 cents for 1 kwh, so you'd make 5 dollars a week in an ideal situation.

    Closed space, bikes to produce energy, everyone has to contribute. They're either on a space ship or a bunker because the environment is uninhabitable, solar energy isn't an option and water is scarce is what I gather from the rationing scenes. The lower social level people have to produce energy and do maintenance while middle level members produce entertainment, higher level organizes and programs the experience. They are unseen because it would break the illusion of being able to climb socially. We only see the lower level who is surprisingly uneducated about the inner workings of his own environment, so he is angry about it. He was probably born into this place many generations separated from the first people who were pushed there because all he knows is to spin on bike to get ahead without a care about why until the end. Where he makes a lot of wild connections about the inner workings of his surroundings from the limited perspective of a lower class energy producer.
    I could connect this with anything really, personally I don't know what the writer had in mind when making this but I can deduce it has something to do about the entertainment world's sub-culture and its effect onto the masses of its consumers. We're all in this together. But in a dark way, that ignores the importance of every single role. So everything in this world is forced instead of explained which would be equally as effective to keep everyone in line. Except for a few troublemakers who justify their ignorance with anger, this story of control is a bit dramatic in that the solution is removing their humanity, but is still beautifully told.
