Films & Life — Yongteng Lei

A small film archive. These are not rankings, just films and episodes that stayed with me after the credits rolled. I do not always have the best taste, but my friends point me towards wonderful things, and I am good at listening.

Black Mirror S7.E4: Plaything

Packed with everything I hoped for in an AI or tech film: exciting from start to finish in those 40 minutes. I am starting to understand what Cameron was doing. I am one of the thronglets ☺︎.
