If it's a simple joke, it doesn't mean much, and there are many meanings behind the dialogue. The story is about two clerks in a small shop and a video rental shop who were forced to work overtime on Saturday, with a hundred dissatisfaction written on their faces, and a lot of things happened on this day - good and bad, until closing at night.
The story of the speaker at the beginning made me, who was eating hot pot, almost burst out laughing. A man came to the store to buy a cup of coffee and drank it there. Every time a customer came to buy cigarettes, he would tell them about the disadvantages of smoking, and even took out X-rays of lung cancer patients. His impassioned speech not only made many people give up the idea of selling cigarettes (and bought XX chewing gum instead), Also let the clerk become the target of public criticism (the only gainer). A group of angry people threw cigarette butts at Clerk, who was smashed and hid under the counter, daring not to show his head. At this time, everyone's eyes suddenly turned white - it turned out to be Clerk's girlfriend who had just walked in and sprayed the fire extinguisher at everyone. Under her loud pressure, a group of people who were just too righteous just now suddenly lost their confidence and confessed to the instigator. So, she scolded the instigator: "Bring out your ID!" As a result, at a glance, it said, a salesman from XX Chewing Gum Company.
Not happy. Such a profound political implication was so easily expressed by them, which is really awesome. And the characters in the film are all talkative. Everyone is eager to express their opinion, and it is endlessly expressed.
In the past two days, I picked up Wang Xiaobo's "The Joy of Thinking" again. This book has had a profound impact on me, and every time I flip through it, it's a new pleasure. Unlike the guys in Clerk, I'd rather be the silent majority. One is that his voice is weak and his role is weak, and the other is that he is really tired of those moral guards. Where did so many "military representatives" come from, one flickering on the left and one on the right. Wouldn't it be better to listen to the right ear in the left ear.
Aka, I forgot to add, the rock music in the heavy metal era is really good. There is a song in the 1/3 at the end of the film that is especially good. I remember a lyric called "Do you know your way..." Blablabla, who knows what it is called Tell me I ha.
