Money Worshipers

The movie looked very depressing, and it was full of anger, anxiety, complaints, complaints and deceit. It turned out that when I was reading an article, the article mentioned this movie. I thought there would be a good speech in the movie, but when I watched it, I didn’t feel it at all. Maybe the content was not compact enough. The reason.
At the beginning of the movie, the different performances of various sales in the restaurant. Shali and Moss are lying. Moss is full of complaints. Norman is going to deceive others in another way. George is relatively restrained and timid but still full of dissatisfaction. They all hope to get new customer information and negotiate business over and over again. However, the upper management of the company only sent people to talk to them about sales and to motivate them. To be honest, they didn't feel that this person's words had any incentive effect, and in the end they still gave them old orders that they felt hopeless.
Shali continued to work hard to make a list that he felt hopeless by deceiving. He felt that he had a big order, only to find that the customer was crazy.
Moss tried to pull George into the gang to steal customer information, but George was timid and did not dare to participate. Moss still threatened that George did not dare to speak about it.
The ending of the movie is still a bit bright. I could not guess it. In the end, it was Shali who stole the information. I thought Shali made a list of 80,000 yuan overnight, so he should not go to steal customer information. Matter, but after the ending appears, it feels understandable. Shali’s biggest problem is lack of money. He doesn’t have a hundred dollars on him, but his daughter is seriously ill and is in urgent need of money. The hospital has stopped special care for his daughter. At this time, he has poor sales performance and no new customers. He wanted to reach a deal with John, but he seemed to be dissatisfied with John’s request. Even when he reluctantly agreed, the reality still told him cruelly that he now has no capital for such a dark transaction. "At this time, as long as he can make money, Shali is willing to do anything. At this time, Moss can't cooperate with George. Shali appears. Finally, the scene of Shali returning to the work department on rainy night should be a suggestion made by the director. A foreshadowing.
Norman seems to be a very optimistic and open-minded person, talking to others, being calm and friendly to colleagues, and willing to listen to Shali’s narcissism, but this is when his own interests are not touched. Threatened, when John destroyed the lie he made up with a few words, he could no longer calm down.
I don’t know whether they like their job or not, but they can’t lose it because of their livelihood. When others say that they are not suitable for this kind of work, their instinctive reaction is to resist. They resist all factors that are unfavorable to them, and constantly look for opportunities to shirk their responsibilities. Because they cannot and do not want to be the last losers.
