She is strolling through the photos quickly, giving all of them five stars without seeming to really look at them. She is strolling through an app that looks very similar to Instagram, but instead of liking her friends' post just once like Instagram allows us to do, she has to rate the photo from a series of one to five stars.
Ga, Lacie has her eyes glued on her phone. Each house resembles the next, and even the color scheme of the neighborhood looks serene and calming with all the pinks and purples. She is outside of her house but still inside of her neighborhood, and just from a few shots the audience can tell that it is a very picturesque area. Yet I want to focus on the beginning of this episode, the opening scene where Lacie is doing yoga. You know what I mean-all the plot twists, the character development, the answers to all the questions, ect.
In a lot of Black Mirror episodes all the "good stuff" happens towards the end of the episode. However as Lacie is diving deeper into her scheme, she realizes that her plan is not as flawless as she thought it was. Determined to obtain her dream home, Lacie hatches a plan that will put her in the same circles as The Elites-those in the community with the highest ratings-and if she is on her best behavior, their ratings will give her the boost she needs to obtain her 4.5 end goal. However, she is told that if she is able to boost her rating up to a 4.5 that a very generous discount would be given to her. Lacie wants to move out of the small home she is currently sharing with her brother, but realizes that her dream home costs more than she can afford. Her whole life is centered around social media, and she is constantly thinking of ways to boost her rating. Lacie Pound has a solid rating of 4.2 that she tries very hard to obtain. This rating system is like a social hierarchy where those who have higher ratings are given more opportunities over those with lower ratings. "NoseDive" takes place in a reality where citizens are rated by one another based on a five star rating system.
