    I don't know where I got hit, but it's a smart and smooth image. The male protagonist's small face and big eyes are pierced in the collar of the windbreaker, and his eyes are like a little lamb who is just entering the society, especially at the end of the table. The qualifications are conspicuous. It seems that I have seen most of my life / the scene where the girl said that the fast food restaurant smelled very heavy and sprayed perfume on the male protagonist is...

    1. Olmi's early works to establish style and credibility, through the perspective of a country boy, tell the trivial anecdotes that happened before and after finding a job, and through the hardships of Italian social life, satirize the greed of human nature and the mechanization of industrial society to teenagers The annihilation and corrosion of innocence & hope. 2. Compared with the ups and downs of the dramatic conflict, the director pays more attention to the details of daily life: the...

    The front is bright and lively, very youthful, the girl is like good weather, the ending is a little melancholy, the girl has not made an appointment, the boy's new job has arrived, set up camp in the dull office, and discuss seniority with a bunch of old men and ladies, maybe this It's the rhythm of growing up and getting older. Great...

    #North Film FestivalPhoto#Biff's favorite Italian neo-realism masterpiece. The key step for a boy to become a man is to get a job and go 9 to 5. Stepping into society seems to be the dividing line where everyone goes from innocence to sophistication. And the most valuable part of this film is that it faithfully recorded this dividing line. Those things about work are the same everywhere, suppressing individuality and judging seniority, but I also see the difference in Italian work, the boss who...

    BJIFF, very in line with the realistic style of Italian films of the same period, the natural performance, the young and ignorant, the fledgling newcomer in the workplace, can't forget the male protagonist's eyes, like a bird in shock, with a trace of sadness, looking lonely, waiting for his beloved in the rain, For a dance party without a female partner, I seem to have experienced every scene myself. Although the movie is old, the dazed state of mind that just stepped into the society is very...

    A friend who works in a very intense and exploitative job. He told me that the stronger the ability, the company will only give you more things to do. Then I sighed, I really want to fall in love, I really want to have a little life of my own outside of work. After two days, he was...

    The anticipation of love before work, the loneliness of brokenhearted after work, and after a night of indulgence at the dance party, it still stretches to the endless repetitive mechanical sound in the end credits day and night (the lights are turned on during the day). So real. // first...

    Too close to the city. During the peak period of municipal construction, the teenagers in Wusong Town entrusted the relationship to sit on the predecessor of Line 3 = the Songhu Railway entered the city to find a job in a state-owned enterprise and met the citizen-class girl in Huangpu District. Very realistic content, the eyes of the young man, without great joy and great sorrow, go to work is almost like this. After joining the job, it suddenly expanded into a group portrait of depression in...

    The Italian "stream of life" mainly represents Olmi's every film as a surprise. Compared with the brilliant masterpiece "The Tree of Clogs", this film is more refreshing and gratifying. With an excellent sense of the lens, he presents life in a sometimes sloppy, sometimes succinct manner, and brings out a touch of Kafka. Everyone who has had a job search experience and a boring office life will find the feeling from this...
