Based on real absurdity

For the business world, the public is always full of complex moods. On the one hand, they are somewhat curious and even yearning for it. Especially many young people are always passionate about making a name for themselves in a world full of opportunities; on the other hand, they are It is also full of awe and distrust. In the eyes of more people, it is a world of absolute interest full of intrigue. Therefore, the more literature or film and television works we see about the business world reveal the dark side of it. In these stories, there are always old and cunning businessmen, pitiful low-level workers, shameless politicians, and sometimes full of conscience. Reporter, insider. Some people portray it as suffocating, while others portray it as heartening. As masters of black humor, the Coen brothers used exaggerated and absurd methods to describe various phenomena in the business world in "Hedsack's Agent".
In general, the film feels interesting, the film is very funny, and for Chinese people, the scene of the hula hoop popular in the United States once happened in China, so it can arouse everyone's interest. interest. In terms of plot, the film does not have much new ideas, and the character setting is also a fixed mode of commercial films, but the film that arouses my interest lies in the fact that it is called "the amount of information is relatively large" in the current words, and it is more comprehensive in a short period of time. A business world. This time, the old and cunning businessman is Masper. After the death of his former boss, he tried to lower the company's stock price in order to acquire and control the company. Reading this passage, I can’t help but think of the reality in China. At present, when many state-owned enterprises are restructuring and engaged in MBO, it is not uncommon for this kind of management to turn the company into negative equity and then turn it into private property. On the Internet, newspapers and magazines often A group of experts explained this process, and it took a long time to make it clear, but in this movie, a meeting of a group of high-level people made it easy to understand.
In this movie, the lucky and unlucky character is Norville, and his "trick" is the hula hoop that once made thousands of people twist their buttocks. After an invention or business model is successful, people often seem to realize that the principle of the invention was originally simple. This is the case with Walkman, BT download, and Blog, and the hula hoop in the film is even more so. A small ring is so popular that it has achieved a Norville business miracle and Masber's business tragedy. In the film, Novel is just a figure who was originally set to be a puppet, which is also a portrayal of commercial reality. In the film, Novel, who looks silly and stupid, was originally used as a puppet manipulated by the directors at the backstage. But Norville of Mu Na also had the ambition of being a professional manager, so he made the company vigorous and spoiled Masber's good deeds. In contemporary business models, the so-called contradiction between management and capital is an eternal topic. We can see news about the dissatisfaction of the board of directors with the managers almost every day. The capital predators kicked it down. Novel's experience basically sums up the typical process of a manager. At first, he was full of fighting spirit, humble and easy to accept new things. At the same time, he was frustrated in the initial stage because of his advancement. Then, he succeeded, he became famous, and he became a celebrity in the social field. Everyone was willing to approach him. At the same time, he became proud, self-serving, and conservative. And often, the contradiction between managers and capital is often planted during the peak period of the company, not to mention the peak of the company in the film is unwilling to Masber, but they often have no chance to win the disobedient manager during the peak period of the company. , Finally, found an opportunity to expel him under Novel's self-depravity, making him discredited.
In the film, the desperate Norville even had the intention to lighten his body, stepping up the tall building and preparing to jump off. In fact, with my "gloomy" psychology, I hope that this piece will end with the death of Norville jumping off the building, so that the absurdity and funny in the front will be in sharp contrast with the tragedy at the end, and this is the real "black" humor in my heart. . However, the black humor of the Coen brothers has always rarely had a tragic ending. This is the case for "The Big Bowling Bizarre Kidnapping Case" and the same is true for "Ice Blood Storm", and this "Hedsack's Agent" also has a happy ending. However, the Coen brothers certainly did not have time to tell the story of Norville’s re-emergence, but instead use the soul of the dead company’s former boss to save Norville. It seems that the Coen brothers also understand that in a cruel business competition environment, a situation like Noville can really only rely on divine power or miracles to make a comeback.
In addition to the main line of business struggle, there are other branches in the film that reflect various social links related to business society, such as the role played by the media. On the one hand, they used all means to grab news for circulation, but at the same time some people maintained a professional conscience, or contradicted professional ambition and conscience like the female journalist who eventually fell in love with Noville. Regarding reality, especially the cruel black reality, it can be presented directly in the face of reality in terms of expression techniques, or it can be displayed as absurd and entertaining as in this film. This "Hedsack's Agent", in my opinion, is a successful film, allowing the audience to come into contact with the truth and absurdity of the commercial society in Wan Er's smile.

    The two brothers are not suitable for this kind of noisy comedy. Their sense of humor is inseparable from the absurd and bloody atmosphere. A slightly more relaxed theme is not their victory. I don't like the "Three Kings of Prison Escape". In this movie, the jokes are very rich in design, and one after another burden, I can't wait to be accompanied by the laughter of a sitcom. Too deliberate but not funny, their past movies need to be reminiscent to realize the ridiculous

    Tim Robbins hadn't done The Shawshank Redemption at the time, the Coen brothers were just getting started, and Sam Raimi was just a screenwriter. #Look at how it looks like now#. The biggest feature of the story is the irony of the huge monopoly system. So many pipes and typewriters and stamps. An exaggerated manifestation of a cumbersome bureaucracy. .

  • Amy Archer: Norville Barnes, you don't know a thing about that woman. You don't know who she really is. Only a numbskull thinks he knows things about things he knows nothing about.

  • Sidney J. Mussburger: Yeah yeah, sure sure.
