Connors is the regional sales manager of GTX, an international large-scale transportation system manufacturer, with an annual salary of $120,000. He has a big house, a luxury car, a beautiful wife, and two children. Everything seemed perfect, but the global financial crisis affected his originally peaceful life. One day, Connors was fired, and only three months of salary and employment consultation were paid to him. After being dismissed, Connors was unable to adapt to the unemployed life, and still maintained the "quality" of his past life, which is what we call "the donkey but not the driving". He doesn't even go to some low-level job opportunities. However, after several months of persistence, he finally couldn't hold on, sold the car and house, and went to work as a decorator that he had dismissed before. Since then, his life has changed, and he slowly understands what life is like. But his old colleagues did not have that good luck. His old boss Phil was also fired. After months of looking for a job and competing with young people for the same position, he was completely disappointed in life and chose to end his life. However, most people’s lives have to continue. With Connors’ continuous efforts, he found a job he was familiar with and started a new life; the former GTX first vice president was unemployed after a few years. Months sinking, start a new business. . .
This film focuses on individuals under the financial crisis, hoping to jump out of the perspective of conspiracy theories at the corporate and organizational levels, and to more fully reflect the impact of the financial crisis on the lives of ordinary Americans. The main line and the side lines in the film are intertwined. Ben Affleck and Tommy Lee Jones’ interpretation of the characters in the film is meticulous. It truly shows people’s feelings of depression, loss, and lack of security after unemployment. This is easy to cause. The resonance of people with the same experience has practical significance nowadays. The film’s true performance of life and the portrayal of the character’s psychology are all highlights, which are worthy of the audience's careful taste.
