I paid attention to this film because the protagonist is a senior headhunter, which is consistent with my workplace status. Even if the score is not high, I continue to watch it. Therefore, I mainly make simple comments from the character positioning, the story content and the rhythm of the filming.
The interpretation and complex of the male protagonist's headhunting role in the workplace is very accurate. It may not be understood by the bean friends in this industry.
However, this film puts the competition among colleagues in the entire industry, including performance fighting, forging fake offers, using sympathy to obtain job information from candidates, and backhanding candidates to PK, etc. Such despicable methods are all in foreign headhunting. Common in the company.
Due to the tense working environment and a lot of exaggerated or false information, the headhunter is exhausted every day, and it consumes the energy of caring for family members, friends, and people around him, and becomes critical.
Even as an executive, the insecurity of being fired in minutes also explains the capitalist vicious circle that makes headhunters work hard and forget about family and life in order to keep their jobs. This is the main conflict of the film.
The role of wife and housewife is also patient and bears humiliation. Its lines are too few, it is difficult to reflect the character style. Especially when I learned that the feedback at the moment my husband left was "oh my god", it was a bit too subtle. The whole movie is like a one-man show for the male lead.
The son's role is heavier than the mother's, and the plot logic of interacting with the parents from beginning to end is reasonable. The little boy's illness was finally cured, which also highlighted his father's role.
Rhythm:
However, there seem to be too many conflict points in the whole movie to be expanded in one movie, but we want to cover everything, so that the whole movie looks relatively bland, without magnifying, expanding, or discussing any of the conflicting points in depth.
For example, the male protagonist cannot balance his career and family, competes with colleagues and candidates/clients, makes choices before his child's life is at stake and busy work, and adjusts conflicts with his wife.
There are so many conflicts that you don't know what to talk about in detail, and the audience's feelings are just revealed, and the next conflict is hastily ended. So I didn't feel the same way that I walked in the depths.
I think this is the main reason for the low score of this film.
