The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

《第三类法庭》(英語:Conscience),是香港電視廣播有限公司製作時裝電視劇,監製王心慰。此劇是邵美琪和溫兆倫第五次合作的電視劇,曾於1999年5月下午在翡翠台重播,2009年1月4日在TVB星河频道“周日中午劇場”時段重播及2016年12月16日在TVB經典台重播。 故事详细介绍了三种法庭:一种是现实意义中的法庭——刑事法庭,另一种是传媒,即编辑、记者们通过对时事下结论来引导观众和读者。但一些不義人士仅凭个人喜好、对自身利益以及如何更好取悦读者写些极不负责任或别有用心文章。一个人可以战胜刑事法庭並操纵传媒,法庭却无法逃避第三类法庭——良知(conscience)。可谓立意之深用心良苦,同时又着力批判了传媒。负责、实事求是的观点在部分人心中沦丧,法律对罪犯无能为力。此外该剧中又穿插了青蛙公主和青蛙蝎子现代版,通过海怡前后强烈反差及海怡与阿诺之间感情冲突,反映了人性脆弱善变,剧情紧凑,高潮迭起,引人深思,並探讨的不只是人与人之间的爱情,更多的是人性、良心,与其它一些纯粹商业片相比简直天壤之别,但此劇收視欠佳。 2026年6月25日,主演本劇的苗金鳳病逝,終年80岁,爲表悼念,翡翠台自2026年7月15日起,深夜11时55分重播本劇。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
