global life

The competitive pressure brought about by globalization has made people’s nerves more and more tense. The daughter who works in a consulting company seems to have a successful career, but she sacrificed all her personal time and space for her work, so that her father This raises the question "Are you still human?". She actually chose to hold a nude party on her birthday, which seemed absurd, but it was actually a release and catharsis under the pressure. At the end, although she changed a company and changed her work place from Bucharest, which she didn't like, to Singapore, there shouldn't be too many substantial changes. My daughter mentioned "what is the meaning of life", I believe she has not found the answer, at least in the vast majority of the film, she believes that career success represents success in life, but as time goes by, does she We will realize that in addition to work, there are many more meaningful things in life waiting for us to discover and complete.
In today's globalized world, although technology is developing day by day, the distance between people is not narrowed, but gradually widened. Between people from different countries, between different classes, between superiors and subordinates, between relatives, the conflicts caused by such a sense of distance are everywhere in the film. People feel overwhelmed and the easiest way is to wrap themselves up. The protagonist Tony likes to disguise and show people with different faces and identities, which may also be a metaphor that everyone in the real society has a different fake face, rather than its real expression.
The film is very realistic, although it describes what happened in Bucharest, Europe, but if you have experience in a multinational foreign company, you will find many things that seem familiar, such as the daughter of a strong woman, a Romanian girl who has just entered the workplace, sleek and elegant. Some arrogant American customers, bosses who are generous, you can find corresponding people in the workplace. The main reason why an uncomplicated story can bring such a great sense of identity is that it comes from life itself, and it is true and has not been castrated and tampered with.
