The office is also a besieged city

The besieged city is a metaphor for marriage, but it is similar to an office. In some companies, employees may not want to do it a long time ago and want to resign; at the same time, there are many people who can't get in because of their foreheads! But marriage faces the same person, who is annoyed by the same person hysterically trying to escape, but in the office, facing all kinds of disgusting people and endless troubles; you can just quit your job, pat your butt and leave if you are not working well. If you don't have a place to keep your master, you will get a lot of trouble if you want to get a divorce.

The office mainly talked about some trivial things that happened in the office. It is a pseudo-documentary in form, and the characters clearly know the position of the camera, so the characters often smile awkwardly at the camera, wink, or even talk awkwardly. This was definitely a pioneering work back then.

Tim is a very ordinary office clerk and has a crush on the famous front desk girl. He is smart, serious in his work, and good in performance, but it is not his ideal to be in a position where he can see the end at a glance. He is eager to change the environment. Tim does not want to be mediocre for a lifetime. He has his own academic ideals. He even I want to go back to campus and continue to study the psychology I am interested in, and I am eager to become a psychologist. Although personal efforts are important, we must also consider the arrangements of fate. Just when he was planning to leave, just when he gave up six pence and chased the moon, he was promoted, and he got a raise. Academics are illusory things and not bread. He is a very practical person, so he can work with peace of mind.

David is the manager of the company. He is a very unserious person who moves all the time, but he is always pretentious; he likes to say witty things, but he can’t make jokes; he does things to the employees. The office romance is quite nuanced, but he hired a beautiful female secretary ridiculously or even shamelessly; very literary, like to discuss Dostoyevsky with his subordinates, but always shy. He is still a master of leverage. During the department training, he met with the trainer to raise the bar. You said west, he said east, you said three-foot sword, he said six-jun bow, you said teamwork, and he emphasized that he should do himself well. The trainer asked everyone to watch the video to learn, and he was going to have a concert. He is like a kid and a bastard.

Gareth is actually a very tragic little man in the market. He does his best to flatter his superiors. According to the agency calculations, some of the behaviors of his coveted female colleague and Li Meiting in "The Besieged City" can almost be seated, but at the same time he is diligent and conscientious. Conscientious. He always emphasized that he had been a soldier, he was a man, but he was not so manly in his heart; he always emphasized that he was a superior professional, in fact, everyone was the same, the eldest brother Mo said that the second elder brother, there are as many pockmarks.

In terms of content, the office presents the state of a group of people at work. They are doing a boring job that they are tired of, but they have to persist because of their livelihood. For a modern person, happiness generally comes from two aspects: work and relationships. Getting a sense of satisfaction at work and having fun in it is and should be the meaning of work. Otherwise, what is the difference between a worker and a slave? In fact, most people can't get satisfaction from work. The so-called work makes people happy, that's bullshit. An adult, if he can't get satisfaction from work, and his relationship life is devastated at the same time, then he will really be ruined. Tim is like this, and so am I.

The Office quotes

  • David Brent: The reason I put "If it's in you, I'll find it" is, if I waste good time and money looking for it, and see it's definitely not in you, I don't wanna be sued 'cos you haven't got it, so, you know, not gonna get me on that.

  • Tim: It's like an alarm clock's gone off, and I've just got to get away. I think it was John Lennon who said: "Life is what happens when you're making other plans.", and that's how I feel. Although he also said: "I am the Walrus I am the eggman" so I don't know what to believe.
