Netflix removes the most experimental episode and the most experimental

In 2018, the writer Charlie Brocker and director David Selid were created “Black Mirror” called “Bandersnatch,” That was to be a bold media experience. The Bandersnatch plot followed a young program called Stefan (Fionn Whitehead) in his endeavor to adapt one of his favorite novels in adventure (also called “Bandersnatch”) in an open video game. It is in 1984, and such games still are modern. He cooperates with Colin (Will Polater), a game designer, and the two heads with heads of heads on creative control and how the game should be. There are sub -plans about Stefan’s dead mother, and evidence of the world forward based on what he says in treatment.

A way to circumvent “Bandersnatch” is that the movie itself is an adventure story. The film was broadcast on Netflix, viewers were encouraged to keep a ready -made remote control, and they had to make story decisions for Stephen where they appeared periodically on the screen. If Stefan accepted Kullen’s show to shoot his game, for example, the “wrong” path is considered, and the movie will start again. There are also multiple ends, including the superior end where Stefan realizes that it is inside a film chosen adventure on Netflix. On average, “Bandersnatch” should take about 90 minutes to see it. In Toto, different film clips work five hours and 12 minutes. Seeing every repetition of “Bandersnatch” will be an affair throughout the day. When I saw it, I got the end of the definition.

“Bandersnatch”, of course, requires certain types of home films display techniques to work properly; The story of choosing an adventure will not work in a stage with a crowd. As such, it’s a great new way to watch a movie. Does the reaction help or hurt a narration?

And “Bandersnatch” was not the only time that we tried Netflix with the “narrative”. They have placed many special offers (most of them children) under the slogan of interactive special offers. Unfortunately, according to A new report from AV clubAll these special offers are about to delete them.

“Bandersnatch” was not even the first interactive interactive for Netflix. The first came in 2017 as “Puss in Book”, which is a spindle of “Shrek” concession. Netflix also reused the 2015 video game, “Minecraft: Story Mode” to an interactive movie 2018. Most of the interactive Netflix special shows were directed at children, and included films such as “Cat BRGLAR”, “We have lost man” and “Battle Kitty” (waving on the horizon cats on these special shows for some reason). Most interactive special offers were based on the existing IP, and included “Barbie: Epic Road Trip”, “Johnny Test’s Ultimate Meatloaf Quest”, “Stretch Armstrong: The Breakout”, “Carmen Sandiego: for theft or not to theft,”.

Interactive special offers for adults included “Bandersnatch”, but also the “Unbreakable Kimy Schmidt” episode, but also “Kimi opposite the priest.” There was also a series of documentary interactive offers starring Bear Gryls, all under the slogan “You Vs. Wild”. Interactive special offers were abundant enough to make one assume it was not just a modernity, but it is a new way to tell stories. In a world of “the second show” and films at home, interactive films seemed to serve as a good way to ensure that the fans were paying attention closely. Movies and video games overlap.

Netflix was in the perfect place to make interactive films, and technology (most of the time) has worked. Unfortunately, all the films will be deleted close to the platform. According to AV Club Report, Netflix is ​​subject to a huge redesign, and will make the new user interface technology impossible to move in interactive films. And if they are not on Netflix, it will be difficult to fill it. Maybe as downloadable video wheels?

The Netflix article, most likely, indicates that interactive special offers are likely to be closed for the already dual video game market. Netflix currently produces about 120 interactive mobile phone games, all of which depend on its properties. Selling these games appears to be more profitable to the company than keeping their digital interactive film library.

Netflix, of course, is barely the first interactive fictional films. Interactive reactive leadership simulation files were tampered with the bankruptcy with a return in the 1950s, for example. In 1961, William Kasal, the genius director, reached the idea of ​​”Punishment” for the horror movie “Mr. Sardonis”. Immediately before the film, the audience members will be encouraged to suspend “thumb” or “thumb” cards, to vote on whether or not the villain should be punished. Of course, “Mr. Sardonicus” was not really interactive, as Castle was never written or shot at the “happy” end.

In the 1980s, with the appearance of laserdissc technology, interactive accounts became easier to simulate at home. Several animated Laserdis films have been released over the course of the contract, most of them in Japan.

The year 1995 witnessed the release of “MR. Payback”, a 30 -minute short display in theaters. The audience members got the “voting” paragraphs, and their voices dictate how bad the protagonist (Billy Warlok) is punishing the people who disturbed him. Bruce McChel, Christopher Lloyd and Lezli Istrbruck also appeared, while ICE-T and Paul Anka played themselves. The experiment failed, and no one cared about the success of technology.

There was also an interactive supplement to “Wargames” in 2015 It is called “#wargames.” This film has benefited from multiple screens, all of which operate at one time, and the narration changes based on the screen where the scenes were enlarged. I have worked well enough, but it is still strange.

The world may not be ready for interactive films. But one can reassure that we will continue to experience.
