Ironic story
Whether it's the narrative structure, character development, or the balanced interplay of humor and pathos, everything is masterfully executed. The story's premise isn't groundbreaking—similar plots can be traced back to Gogol's The Government Inspector in 1836, which exposed the corruption of high-ranking officials.
Yet this film goes beyond mere satire of modern workplace slogans like "996" and "optimization." It raises a profound question for our era: How should society treat those deemed "inefficient" in the face of progress? The answer it offers is collective resilience—we must weather the storm together.
Even with its utopian ending, the film's substance is undeniable. It forces a reckoning: Do we become willing agents of self-exploitation, or dare to pursue our ideals?
