A much appreciated satire, hilarious and thought-provoking, recommended by Mark Fisher in his essay "Capitalist Realism". Mike Judge, the director & writer of the original animated material, makes an accurate depiction of daily life at work in a service-oriented corporation. The obsession with layoffs, the quotidian harassing by the boss, the absurdity of bureaucratic demands, the boot-licking of the submissive faction VS the fear and hopelessness of the rest, and even the most mundane details (esp. the constantly defective copy-machine) hit home. Much material indeed for social commentary. The most striking is the tyrannical order of EXPRESSING YOURSELF, a revelatory contradiction.
大卫芬奇再一次无视观众的智商豆瓣上有人说这部戏硬伤颇多但是就我看来那些硬伤无非也是一些好事之徒牛角尖之举不管有多少地方看似不合理但是却不可否认这是一部好片所谓人生如戏戏如人生PS:道格拉斯还是年轻的时候比较帅PS2:in the movie, it's a game, but in the life, it's not.
