The underground world is a huge world, dark, cold, but self-sufficient. Even though the salaries of the ticket inspectors are low and no one looks down on them, they are still slacking off. Everyone lives day after day, like a walking dead. Of course, this meal is not so easy to eat. They have to face all kinds of pressures and dangers: vicious competition between various squads, all kinds of weird passengers, notorious super fare evaders, and even Scary mysterious serial killer. As for the male protagonist, I don't know why, but he never even goes to the ground. He goes to work during the day to check tickets, and when the subway finishes work at night, he sleeps directly on the ground.
The male protagonist's life rule is broken until two things appear: (1) He meets her, the daughter of an old train driver, full of youthful energy and ideals. (2) He bumped into a colleague he had previously worked with on the ground. Through the dialogue between the male protagonist and this colleague, we can know that the male protagonist used to be very good and asked to do the best every day. But after a long time, the male protagonist began to have a kind of inner fear, afraid that he would not be able to meet his own requirements and continue to be excellent. So, he gave up completely, he went underground, and started a simple and brainless life.
How the story develops and ends, for example, how the male protagonist develops with the girl, how to pay for the serial killer who is not in the subway, how to resolve disputes with other groups, etc., you have to see it yourself. But overall, the film is dark and humorous, with a lot of symbolic symbols running left and right that will keep your brain spinning.
Now I will talk about my feelings after watching this movie.
Some people compare the film to "Fight Club". I admit that there are similarities, but the main theme is still not the same. If "Fight Club" is about consumerism, "Kontroll" is about mediocrity. Kontroll is actually Hungarian control (Controll). This film tries to tell everyone that we have the ability to control our behavior and destiny, at least we have the ability to control our brain to think so.
In real life, as we grow older, we constantly start telling ourselves the horror of failure and the slim chance of success. The fear of failure begins to haunt us, causing us to forget many of our childhood ideals. So it's not the failure itself that really beats us, it's this terrifying inner demon. One day we looked around and saw that everyone had turned into zombies. The endless cycle of eating, sleeping, going to work, and getting paid is a sanctuary for our bodies and minds. At that time, maybe we will think all this is so sad. The way out? That is to control our behavior, destroy our inner demons, and strive to do better every day.
In fact, this is a movie that has a great impact on me personally, because I seem to see my own shadow in the male lead. After watching it, I am very happy because the movie gave me infinite courage: because "Be All You Can Be" is under our control.
