      Genetic modification is too dangerous: in order to improve human abilities, they turned people into half-human, half-horse monsters

      Whether in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, or in a small city, going to work is quite helpless.

      Except for a few people who love work, most people go to work just to earn a salary, obviously reluctant, and have to be exploited by their bosses.

      I recommend this movie to everyone today that tastes a little bit heavy, but the "working dog" will be very refreshing after watching: in order to increase productivity, capitalist companies that do no evil have turned people into half-human...

      Who else is sad to find a name here?

      The beginning of the movie is so funny and sad...

      Cassius took a forged resume and came to HaoShi to apply for the job of an operator.

      He was sitting at one end of the table, humble, careful, even with a trace of fear, watching the boss sitting at the other end of the table jokingly looking at the false things.

      After being dismantled, Cassius's expression gradually dimmed with the boss's merciless accusation.

      This is the first ups and downs-the protagonist is...

      I AM FEELING SORRY .BUT ONLY FOR MYSELF

      Can movies now be so absurd? But if the latter is not so absurd, maybe you will feel that this is a too "normal" funny movie, it is not so interesting, seeing the current movie market is exhausted in order to find the audience’s G-spot Lost my mind.

      At the beginning, the male protagonist couldn’t put the bottom on the phone, and after using the voice of the controller, he would say sorry to bother you. This sentence opens, but when you see it, you will feel that this sentence is sorry,...

      [Film Review] Sorry to Bother You (2018) 6.9/10

      American Hip-Hop artiste Boots Riley's debut feature film, “Sorry to bother you!” is the de rigueur opening line for a telemarketer, before he/she might or might not have the chance to heap on their stick-to-the-script coaxing patter. The movie starts when our young hero Cassius Green (Stanfield, a multi-faceted leading man in the making) is applying for a telemarketing post in the RegalView Company...

      Have you ever thought of dying

      Have you ever thought of dying

      Sometimes I thought about it, because sometimes I was alive

      Sometimes I want to live when I die

      Sometimes I feel pitiful, some mean, some cowardly, and some treacherous. I have never taken drugs, but it seems that I feel like a restrained and capable person with a strong mind as described by others. Can resist all temptations, but it just officially started, it is really difficult to stand to earn money.

      I remember that there was a boss...

      This should be the best black movie of the year! The mundane office comedy theme is constantly integrated into the experiment of genre innovation, from the serious demonstration of the living conditions of the black group, to the tit-for-tat and well-organized labor protest, and then to the bizarre human-animal hybrid thriller and suspense plot. The plot always makes the audience laugh and surprise in unexpected places. What is even more rare is the "Stick To The Script" in the laughing and...

      I just turned over the first chapter of Huxley's Brave New World. As someone who could not read the book, I turned on the computer to watch the film. The industrial production line after World War II and the contemporary production line of bioinformatics were actually properly connected. However, it is true that the creativity is good and the character is strong, but the whole is like a headless assembly line horseman, or a white powder in a promiscuous party. If the scabs end, Supercaller...

      6.2 points. The original intention is good, try to explore class issues. But unfortunately, the rhythm is a little out of control, and the breaking point is delayed. In the end, I don't know if it was limited by the budget, or the script was not rich enough, it died down and stopped...

      This is really a brain hole movie, jumping directly from the black circle and the workers circle to the centaurs and Martin Luther King. . . I admire these buddies who can visualize the brain images of taking drugs, reading philosophy books, or dreaming. I give you a thumbs...

    Movie plot

    The story takes place in Oakland in a parallel world. Cassius Green ( Keith Stanfield ) , a down-and-out black young man with strong self-esteem , lives in his uncle's garage and owes four months of rent. He got a job as a telemarketer in the "HaoShi" call center. Asked by colleagues, Cassius found a shortcut to improve performance, that is, disguising his voice like a white man in order to improve the effect of sales. Colleagues were...

    Evaluation action

    "Sorry to Bother You" creates a pleasant and creative atmosphere while radically telling the story. Director Boots Riley did not take all topics too seriously, but presented his core theme of anti-capitalism in an unforgettable visual way   . (Comment on "Vulture")
    The film is definitely one of the biggest brain holes in 2018, comparable to 2017's "Escape from Death". Comedy, surreal, American anti-masochism, and social allegory are...
