In terms of structure, it is a bit procrastinated. The paragraphs without dialogue have little effect on the plot. It should be as concise as possible, and don't give too long shots. I skipped them all.
From the point of view, it is mainly to satirize bureaucracy and the contempt of ordinary citizens by the government and big companies. But I think that social progress will inevitably lead to social complexity, and the complicated social structure will inevitably bring bureaucracy and dehumanization. For the resulting tragedy, we can only express helplessness and try our best to find the cause and solve it. There is absolutely no point in expressing anger, or angering in an individual case without regard to the social causes of tragedy.
Bureaucracy is something that can be seen everywhere, but it is difficult to solve. The director used the entire film, but only broadly reflected the superficial phenomenon of bureaucracy, and did not investigate the root cause behind it, completely wasting the film, leaving it only with sensational effects.
In the "Magic Stars" and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" I have read, there are passages that satirize bureaucracy. As an indictment of bureaucracy, these spoof movies achieve the same effect as this one in just one episode.
During the phone call with the protagonist whose life was hanging by a thread in the coffin, the company's personnel director informed him that the company had separated from him and recorded this part of the testimony, which was overdone. Recording for what? Naturally, it is for evidence in court. Once such a practice is made public, it will definitely be an uproar in public opinion, not to mention in Western society, even in China today. Such an approach is impossible.
Through many police and gangster films, we know that it is normal for the hostages to fail to rescue. Of course, this is a tragedy for the hostages, and of course they should be angry. But to be fair, the police also have the helplessness of the police, and no one's anger will help.
Simply expressing the anger of the hostages is a bit hypocritical.
