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 in trouble. In the context of modern film and television works, it is not only the protagonist, so the falsehood is understandable, so the overall mood of the audience here is still sympathy for the protagonist.

However, just when you think that the male lead is not good enough to be worthy of this job, there are even greater ups and downs, but the boss tells you that the male lead has been hired.

However, it is not because of the misjudgment of the male protagonist's ability, nor is it because of the boss's compassion, but this is a job that was originally done by "garbage".

The hero smiled awkwardly.

The boss said he didn't care about what Cassius did, as long as he could talk and call according to the script. The male lead, even though it was an ill-fated method, but his desire to be motivated was melted into his awkward smile. This also laid the groundwork for his refusal to stand with the insurgents later. The male protagonist is eager to succeed, so once the opportunity arises, he will especially cherish it.

I looked at this sad beginning with a smile, but the more I look back, the more I feel that maybe I should cry at this beginning.

When you read this story, do you think this is just about a story called Cassius?

No, you were wrong, and I was wrong too. I thought I was not the person in the story, but I was. I am not saying that I am Cassius, I am saying that I am also facing his plight.

And this stalk, the screenwriter runs through the whole show.

Watching this movie, I feel like reading "The True Story of Ah Q". The only difference is that the people inside and outside the movie are readers.

Why is Cassius reluctant to protest with Squeeze and them? It is not that he feels that he does not belong to them, or is even higher than them. "Today is your day to dominate the world. You are Regalview's elite bridge......", the bullshit in the elevator fully reflects his self-conceived sense of superiority. After Cassius heard it, he was surprised and proud. He had a meal.

But this kind of superiority that only takes him seriously gradually made him nowhere to stay.

Cassius left Detroit's party and came to the party of the white boss, thinking that he would receive him with respect and praise as a member. However, in the eyes of those white people, Cassius is nothing but a black man of use value, without respect and praise, only prejudice. Cassius was asked to share his funny stories and asked to sing rap. At this time, Cassius couldn't go back to the original party, couldn't blend into the current party, and he was already a person without belonging.

Later, Cassius suspected that the boss let himself inhale the mutant medicine. Cassius finally decided to leave the boss's group. He finally found out that he was also one of the people squeezed by the boss's group. All this is because of his worth as a black man. But I think to say that Cassius is awake seems to exaggerate him too much. The reason why he returned to his original group was only driven by fear and anger. It is very unlikely that he would really want to speak up to the group he belongs to under the influence of his conscience, because his conscience is not easy to come by, nor is it easy to give up. After all, Cassius is just one. selfish person.

Cassius is not only selfish but also stupid, unable to do big things. Although it is not worth advocating to become a white horse puppet in terms of value judgment, in capitalist society and in the world of adults, if we talk about the pros and cons, we will find that this is simply a good deal. Fortunately, in real life, some people live more thoroughly than Cassius and succeed.

I said above, "The screenwriter asks you to listen to your own story but doesn't tell you" this stalk is used throughout the whole show. Therefore, Cassius is certainly not the only group of people who think they are superior in the movie. Remember the black man waiting outside the elevator? Obviously a black man has to learn "white voice", thinking that he is different from the person on the first floor, but is he still talking about the white voice? Is he different from the person downstairs, or the one who speaks the white accent is not him. He is different from the person downstairs. Does he still feel different when everything is gone?

However, in my opinion, the biggest group attribution error in the whole drama lies in the capitalists represented by wooryfree. Worryfree

The controlled laborers are exhausted every day for a little source of livelihood, betraying their freedom. It seems that they are the worst, but they are not. A great singer once sang a very philosophical sentence: after all, we all kids of the God. And capitalism is with God. Capitalists manipulate capitalism? Quite the opposite. The working class is struggling in capitalism and is tortured by capitalism so hard to survive, but can the capitalists escape? In order to pursue profit, the capitalists sold their souls without knowing it. If we put more emphasis on the spirit, wouldn't the capitalists be more pitiful? Whether it is material or spiritual, we are all deviating, and we are no longer called human beings. The capitalists and the working class are the same group, and their opposite is capitalism.

But the reason why we can't see clearly is precisely because we are wandering in these groups, how vain the promises of some groups sound, and how vain we are. So white people discriminated against black people, and capitalists suppressed the working class, so you despised me, and I despised him. And the poorest person among them is probably a robin-like person.

So there is no story that has nothing to do with you, in my opinion.

Sorry to Bother You quotes

  • [first lines]

    Anderson: So it says here that you were manager of the Rusty Scupper restaurant for five years. And then a bank teller at Bank of Oakland between 2014 to 2016. Oh, and you were employee of the month! What's that trophy in the bag there?

    Cassius Green: Oh, Oakland High moot court champion. I'm a salesman at heart.

    Anderson: *That* is intriguing. Mainly because I was the branch manager at the Bank of Oakland between 2014 and 2016, and you, Mr. Green, you never fucking worked there.

  • Anderson: One more thing, Cassius. *Stss!*

    Cassius Green: ...Stss?

    Anderson: [points to sign above his desk] S.T.T.S. Stick to the script.
