      Teenager, after 20 years, you can leave the damage to your eyes from that lamp

      Teenager, after twenty years, you can leave that lamp for damage to your eyes. ——Chen Zha

      This is a movie that almost everyone can find the same feeling. The feeling of helplessness at the beginning of entering the workplace, the hope, waiting and loss when you are in love, I believe most people have experienced it. . The story of the movie is very simple. It tells the story of a 15-year-old country boy (Dominica) who went to the big city to find a job, met a girl (Margery) and fell...

      What movie will keep me thinking about it, of course there are many, but this Emmanuel Olmi's "Work" (also translated "Youth Troubles" and "Job" 1961) is an extraordinary talk to me .

Although I recorded a lot of films in those years, the...

      Shit, what does a job mean?

      After I quit my job and stopped to look at the world around me, I realized that there are actually many pictures worth stopping and watching. Accidentally saw this black and white film fifty years ago, director Olmi's debut, the 93-minute film describes the job hunting of a young Italian country boy who was young in the city. The life and work of the clerk, and his psychological reality.
          After watching the film, I have a great resonance, isn't this boy who I am now! Simple but fearful...

      icy house

      When Dominic, a young man from a small town, was looking for a job in the big city of Milan, his clear and pure eyes seemed out of tune with this empty and depressing world. When applying for a job at a big company, a large number of job seekers wait outside the door, and then take a screening test, a physical test, a balance test, and so on. Each job seeker is like the goods to be selected being put on the shelf in batches, and makes actions and reactions according to the instructions and...

    Evaluation action

    The film shows the hardships of social life in The Republic of Italy, satirizes the greed of human nature, and raises a very intriguing question, that is, the relationship between the tension and monotony of industrial society and the ruin of youth and innocence. The whole film focuses on the detailed description of daily life, which restores the ordinary life of a small employee and the psychological reality of Il posto. The director...
