So interesting! What a shot, and the composition is so beautiful. From the beginning I was thinking, how many times this scene has to be cleaned! The word exhibition is very interesting in it, which means that everything can be exhibited. The rhythm of this "fast life" is not the fast life we ​​recognize now. It is humorous, human, and blindly slow. It seems that they do not feel fast, but they are quite "slow" in their hearts, a slow car. The regular office, mechanization, is scary behind it. I have criticized too many things, what I know and what I don't understand, and even now, it still reflects the future of mankind. The Industrial Revolution made people go to the production line and turned them into machines. Now that machines are invented, it means that machines will replace humans. So what are humans? What are our human rights? Who is a man, this is the progress of the times, and we are constantly renewing our thinking, but this is an ancient question. Love the last shot, cleaning the glass to make the car roll over, it's funny, it's humor, not comedy. Finally, let me share a little bit. It's really not too good to look at a multiple of 1.5. It looks better than the original multiple! Reminds me of Chaplin's "Modern Times".

    Completely abandon the comedy revolution of close-up and close-up, build a story with the setting, widen the audience's sight distance, and leave blank space for allegory. Western style high-end black half a century ago, functional proletarian of modern formula theory.

    The use of glass and space is breathtaking. The scene in the restaurant is so messy and complicated but the schedule is extremely interesting. The whole movie reflects the director's genius in scene scheduling, perspective selection, and setting. The ubiquitous humorous details express a mockery of "the seemingly minimalist but extremely troublesome modern design". The whole story takes place in more than a day, is bland and interesting at the same time chaotic and complicated, and the if there is no romance is to polish.
