Yes, I think this movie is about the alienation of the division of labor to people. Ha ha.
Channing Tatum jumped into the submarine dramatically and turned around to pose a pose, just like in a musical film he starred in, he also jumped from the table to the ladder with the same action, and turned around to pose a pose. Even in the movie space, you can't tell whether he is performing another musical or defecting to the Soviet Union.
In the end, work swallows everything and involves all of us. There is no life outside of work, no personality outside of occupation, your job is you, and you are your job.
The cute western movie star took out the rope to pass the time while waiting for the actress. He couldn't even put sauce on the pasta, because it could tie a knot with the noodles and become another rope for the cowboy. The two musical stars even sang involuntarily when they were dating. The two gossip female reporters were so similar that they couldn't even distinguish each other.
The most vivid is the ever Joe. Whenever the film company needs an "ordinary person", Joe will come to complete this task. He is a "professional ordinary person", a professional person.
Hail, Profession!
The first shot of the movie, the huge set reminds me of the fish oil factory where I am working. I repeat the same action thousands of times a day, and time crawls slowly as if it freezes. The fatigue after work every day makes me too tired to think. The people around were empty eyes and speechless. I dare say that if I continue to work here as an adult, I will eventually become like them. Hearing a longer sentence will feel beyond the scope of my understanding.
On my only rest day of the week, in order to escape the occupation of me, I decided to watch a modern ballet performance. It is such a coincidence that the theme of the final work of the performance is actually a joking expression of the alienation of people from the division of labor. The same humorous style, the arrangement, lighting and music are all exquisitely exquisite. At the end of the performance, I was thinking, is there really any essential difference between the dancers who perform the same work repeatedly every day and the objects they ridiculed-factory girls like me?
The Coen brothers used their movie to tell us that there is no difference. Even if you are a dancer or a big star, you can't escape the fate of being alienated.
So, what makes Eddie Mannix feel that this job of managing an acrobatic troupe is so correct, more correct than managing an airline, even if it is too difficult, he doesn't know if he can continue, and he doesn't want to give up?
Because this job will give people an illusion from time to time, an illusion of forgetting that oneself is working, an illusion of art rather than business, an illusion of a hero rather than a cowboy actor, a sacred rather than nothingness. Illusion of meaning.
In the final scene of Hail and Caesar, Clooney's passionate performance made everyone stop their work and listened to his divine speech intently. In that short moment, they were truly moved, a divine illusion shining on everyone.
It is ridiculous that this believer of God can forget even the necessary condition of faith is faith, which makes this short illusion burst like a soap bubble.
After working in a fish oil factory for 9 days, I finally quit my job with no end to it. The first thing I did after resigning was to see Hail and Caesar in the cinema. To pass the time before the movie started, I bought a lottery ticket. The lottery salesman had a smirk as brilliant as Scully Johnson's face.
After I walked out of the movie theater, I thought with a wry smile, if I really want to continue to live, I'd better find a right job.
