Fight for the dignity of men

I don’t know if it’s a comedy. I felt a little bit heavy when I watched it. The promotion cake was in front of us, sweet and inviting. The two men began to fight hard, with 18 martial arts, all kinds of tricks and tricks appeared in an endless stream, and they would push each other appropriately when it was critical. For such a small supermarket manager position, why do you do your best? The wife is like a flower and a girl is like a jade, for the decent life of the family. The film continues to revolve the scenes of being with the family in the gap between the two people's open and secret fights. Being with family is warm and happy, as long as the embarrassment of life is not so aggressive. However, in the film, the scene of Doug and his wife being molested by the homosexual next door is repeated again and again. The embarrassment of his wife and the yearning for the house make Doug dare not relax again and again, and even we outside the story feel heavy pressure. On the other hand, Richard, who met his wife and finally bid farewell to the absurd life of the past and set up a family, also cherished the current family doubly, and wanted to live a good life to satisfy his wife and children. The intrigue competition made the strings of the two men tense. It can be seen that they are both on the verge of collapse. However, as long as the camera turns to the family outside of work, the two men pretend to be in front of their wives and children. If nothing happens, the manager position is determined to be won. Doug's wife has offered part-time teaching several times in order to provide for the room. Doug always tries his best to prevent it, even falsely claiming that he has got the position. On the one hand, there is a horrible job and the result of a dazed promotion, on the other hand, it is the family warmth that I have worked hard to create. Giving a decent life to his wife and children is a matter of dignity for men. When Doug's wife persuaded him that the lioness would also go out for food, Doug said, I am not a lion, I am a man. The smell is moving. Even though his wife tried her best to comfort him, he still felt depressed, frustrated, and embarrassed.
Dignity can make people feel that they live upright and live in a beautiful sunshine. It is an urgent inner need, otherwise they will feel like an animal. Dignity is not only to gain respect in front of others, it is more important to people's recognition and affirmation of oneself, and it is the satisfaction that people can feel when living according to their own values. Men’s values ​​are undoubtedly the first to support the family. In order to pursue this dignity, the two use various improper means. From their struggle, it can be seen that this is also contrary to their values, that is, they are in In the process of pursuing dignity, they trampled on their dignity. This is why they are particularly painful. Therefore, they are constantly hesitating and struggling. Every time they framed the other party, they could see their regrets, Richard When De decides to confess to his wife that he is an addict, he has some words: to be an honest person. These are undoubtedly their inner voices and the values ​​they want to uphold. Only by persisting can they feel dignity. But society, cruel competition, seems to deprive people of their dignity. We cannot comment on the pros and cons of a competitive society. We are just inevitably striving for survival in such a society. In a competitive landscape where either you are up or down, we are in an irresistible competition. On the road, it seems that giving up dignity is the inevitable result of involuntary self. Fortunately, the film puts something warmer for us behind the competition-home. If you only survive for survival, compete for the sake of competition, and utilitarian for the sake of utilitarianism, then you lose the meaning of being a human being. It is similar to machinery and no different from animals. This is obviously unbearable, especially in When the inner value of a competitive society is worn out, some support is needed even more.
As mortals, our home is a precious symbol, and it is the final destination of our wandering souls. Therefore, it is meaningful to fight unscrupulously outside. The humbleness of low eyebrows and knees outside is also a human body at home. The face of life turned into the dignity of a man. So even if Doug’s introspection is not arranged at the end of the film, it can still move people’s hearts, but in order to show honesty and integrity, the person’s true nature cannot be obliterated. The oppressed spring still has to be restored, so in the end Doug is still in the interview. Chad said good things. In order to give people hope, in the end Doug was promoted. Doug finally made a soaring posture, a posture to continue fighting.

The Promotion quotes

  • Jen Stauber: Goodbye banjo-fuckers!

  • [Richard explains to the board of directors the sign that cited the deli clerk as employee of the month for "cutting the cheese."]

    Richard: 'Cutting the cheese' simply means 'cutting the actual cheese'. It doesn't have a double-thing? So I just missed it. Because in Canada, it's 'cracking'.

    Mitch: The expression.

    Richard: It's 'cracking', in Canada, yeah. We crack the cheese.

    [Long pause between Richard and the board of directors]

    Richard: Cracking it? Cracking the cheese? So I simply, really believed that Rogelio had been given an inter-deli award... for cutting the actual cheese. I'm sorry.
