Nosedive Long Answer

At first, I thought that because it was a show being played in class, it was going to be boring. But

it turned out to be pretty good. It started off with an interesting scene where random numbers

were popping up with no explanation leaving a hook for the viewers. I personally feel like the

movie had a meaning and that’s why we watched it. I think the lesson it taught us is to like

people for who they are and not based on other people’s opinion. During the show we filled out a

sheet that got critically thinking about the show and how it relates to us in real life scenarios, I

personally could relate, because in real life people judge me and other around me based on what

other people have said and made up. Lacie was a clear target and from the moment Naomi

invited Lacie to her wedding I knew something was going to happen. Lacie wanted to move to a

nicer neighborhood but couldn’t unless she got her score up to a 4.6. Lacie initially thought that

by going to the wedding her score would increase due to the amount of people at the wedding

with high 4 ranks. One of the questions asks if I would use this app if it was a real app. My

answer is no, because if it was a real app the amount of discrimination and hurt it would cause

would affect our everyday lives. It would affect people’s self confidence and self esteem. In

today’s society us people, already have enough judgement towards each other that it already

affects our everyday lives. Towards the end of the show, I kind of had guessed earlier on that she

was going to lose rank. In the end she still showed up to her friend’s wedding and gave her

speech. It wasn’t looked upon as something good, but she said it because she learned from the
trucker that once she is as low as she is, She doesn’t have to care about what other people think

about her. Honestly, I feel like it was a great show and I look forward to watching another

episode in class.
