Needless to say, the typical modernist architecture in the film is the most direct manifestation of the meaning of modernity, which is more evident in Playtime. The difference is that this modern collection is an embarrassment for the film's protagonist, Mr. Hulot, and for his sister (Mrs. Albert), a housewife who is proud of this "modern" life- It is an absurdity that is more ironic than M. Hulot's embarrassment.
When the party is held, the high heels of the ladies always adhere to the placement and direction of the slate in the yard, even if this placement is not suitable for the natural walking pattern; Mrs. Albert prepared a surprise for her husband - a modern automatic door -- but trapped themselves in absurd embarrassment; and the oddly shaped squirt fish in the middle of the yard expresses the meaning of modernity most profoundly, because the squirt fish can only be present in the presence of people other than family members It will be turned on, so it not only becomes a symbol, but is consumed repeatedly as a symbol.
A brilliant director sometimes doesn't reveal his intentions so clearly and thoroughly, but somehow I still like that Tati does it, and it's really convincing for him to use comedy to show the reality of the dilemma :)
