This is a world of machines

This movie was recommended on Weibo, and I didn’t look at the cast list when I watched it. Later I found out that the actors are really awesome, with my favorite Al Pacino. The whole play is basically dialogue. The actors’ faces are the main content. The scenes are very simple. In the office and the bar, the environment is deliberately narrow and cramped by the director, giving people a sense of suffocation. The feeling of rain and night at the beginning was also depressing. After the rain and the sky cleared, things seemed to have taken a turn for the better. I didn't expect all hopes to vanish until it turned into despair.
This power supply mainly describes the life of real estate salesman (salesman). The pressure of life and sales ranking force them to do everything they can to complete the business, but everything is not satisfactory, the supervisor is inexperienced, the boss and the staff All kinds of betrayals, the various situations of the customers, and finally thought to complete a big one, but in the end it ended up with nothing. In all kinds of chaotic emotions and chaotic dialogues, the film slowly tightens the rhythm and brews the emotions slowly, until finally everyone explodes.
As Rome said at the end, machines are machines. People have become working machines, social systems have become machines, and everything seems to be clockwork in an orderly manner. But the end result does not seem to be happiness. The weather in the play implies something. At first it was the evening of heavy rain, and things started to become tricky and uncontrollable. Then came the heavy rain in the night, and things seemed to become severe and even hopeless; on the sunny day the next day, things seemed to be there. After a turnaround, I completed a few big orders, and started to yell at the supervisor a few times with confidence, but in the end it was nothing. The broken glass door actually indicates the operation of the machine, and the final result is shattered, and the glass slag on the ground may also indicate the final collapse.

    A group of movie stars showcased textbook-style performances. Jack Lemmon and Al Pacino were the best, followed by Kevin Spacey.

Glengarry Glen Ross quotes

  • Dave Moss: What did I do?

    George Aaronow: You listened!

  • Shelley Levene: I'll cut you in on the $82,000 sale I just closed.

    Williamson: Bruce and Harriet Nyborg? You wanna see the memos? They're nuts. They used to call in every week when I was with Webb and we were selling Arizona. They're nuts. Did you see how they were living? How can you delude yourself?

    Shelley Levene: I got their check.

    Williamson: Yeah? Well, forget it, frame it, it's worthless.

    Shelley Levene: The check is no good?

    Williamson: Yeah. If you wanna wait around, I'll pull the memo. I'm busy right now.

    Williamson: Wait a minute! The check is no good? They're nuts?

    Williamson: You wanna call the bank Shelley? I called them. I call them four months ago when we first got the lead. The people are insane. They just like talking to salesmen.
