This is a very interesting movie. Playing 6.0 is a bit wronged. At first glance, it looks like a comedy story about a mid-life crisis in an entrepreneur. The reality is very complicated, and it is extremely scary to think carefully. The title Extract translates to squeeze, which is really a master. Because if translated into extraction, there must be too many partial questions. That's us to see who squeezed whom.
First of all, the male protagonist is the boss, according to Marxism, the evil capitalist. But the director has given this evil capitalist full justice. He is humble, kind, talented, and gifted, and he has succeeded in starting his own business from scratch. Facing all the evils around him, he just accepted it and laughed it off. First, the director has a dark wave of employees, lazy, ignorant and greedy. Female employees go to work and chat, stop work on their own, affecting the entire production line, and immigrant Mexican workers are stupid and stupid because of language barriers. The forklift driver was engaged in rock and roll, and the foreman who watched the accident was injured in an accident and finally went to the company. The most hateful thing is the medical consultant in Daben, who uses medical treatment to engage in drugs to pull people into the water. In addition to telling you to take drugs, it is to let you take care of others and green yourself, which is a complete disaster. At the unit level, the male protagonist was heartbroken. (His manager also paid tribute to his own performance of "Burst Drummer" at the beginning, saying how bad the employee's band was.) But even so, the male protagonist still didn't want to fire them, work for them, and endure it all. But when the injured employee was deceived to sue the company, and even brought the company on the verge of bankruptcy, all the employees showed a selfish and stupid side. Also ask for shares. They think that the company is going to be sold, but even if the company is going to be sold, and you receive your salary every day, you don't have the right to ask for shares. Even though he threatened with a strike (when confronted with the boss, he was bothered). Chunchun is a scum. Coupled with the ugly face of human rights lawyers scrolling in the advertisement, it can be described as black to the bottom. Is this the actual situation of employees in the United States? It may be a bit exaggerated, but if we look at the situation of American workers with reference to the two films "Starting War" and "American Factory", on the other hand, this film is really dark and interesting.
In addition to the main contradiction, the director strengthened the secondary contradiction of family relationship, giving us the illusion of a middle-aged crisis film. First of all, his wife refused to live a normal married life with him for a long time. This mistake is impossible to wash. He rushes home before 8 o'clock every day and fails. After returning home, he finds that you have tightened your trouser belt. Whoever changes it will understand what it means. In the end, the male protagonist has to insist on his ridiculous moral bottom line, taking drugs to look back on himself. At the beginning, the director made a suspense, and then gave the imagination to the audience, making the audience think that her wife still loves him, nothing happened. In the end, it was all real hammers, 15 times. Speechless. There was also a nightmare neighbor, who always blocked the intersection and forced others, and was scolded to death in the end. . . Just such an entrepreneur who worked hard and complained about a good character, and was finally tossed by these scumbags, and finally returned to work for Lu's own little brother. It is really a god-like greatness. The director just wanted to say, who is squeezing whom? Without his existence, can you leave you idiots? It is definitely not possible in the movie. In the end, the protagonist seems to forgive everything at the end. At the end of the mythical personality, this character is so magnificent, even not so real.
What's interesting is a dark thread, that is the female thief Cindy, 100% green tea. A wicked person. But if we take a closer look, the director gave this female thief a godlike position. The first is the object of admiration for everyone in the whole film, who want the wind to get the wind or the rain to get the rain, strategizing, and winning a thousand miles. Everyone went round and round. In the end, how did the core contradiction of the great entrepreneur, the male protagonist, be resolved? Yu Gong, the thief woman controls the injured man, and when she says she withdraws the lawsuit, she withdraws the lawsuit. One day the clouds are scattered, Yushi, I will be passionate with you all night, and everything will be returned to you. Let you free yourself from old feelings (both body and soul). You say that you are not good enough. She is free from the social structure of labor and capitalists, and directly asks for it. Is the real heroine of the whole film, a flying fairy from the sky. Look carefully, the film starts with stealing the guitar, and ends with stealing the sports car from the human rights lawyer. Properly walked to the pinnacle of life, everyone was played round and round by her. But looking back, without her presence, could the labor conflict between entrepreneurs and labor be resolved? It is possible that this endless loop of squeezing each other will never be reconciled. The boss runs the business to make money and maximize the benefits. Employees also want to take more money. An inevitable contradiction arises here. Almost unsolvable. So this movie should never be just such a passing score.
