"Ultimate Interview": Nothing to talk about

Many movies are nonsense, but success becomes a classic. For example, "Chain Saw", "Battle Royale", and even "Puzzling Fang". The protagonists of these three movies are very pitiful. They are all trapped in a relatively claustrophobic and terrifying space without knowing the truth. If you can't escape this space, you have to wait for Death to arrive.

"Ultimate Interview" is obviously taking the path of a claustrophobic space, but this time the protagonists are willing to walk into this claustrophobic space, and hope that in 80 minutes, they will be the only person alive in this claustrophobic space.

But "Ultimate Interview" was unsuccessful in nonsense. The three relatively classic movies mentioned above all have a relatively established premise, that is, facing life and death. When a person is facing survival or death, he is driven to desperation, and when he is pushed to the extreme, you will not be surprised what he does. But in the "ultimate interview" there is no such choice of life and death, just for a job. Even if the annual salary of this job is considerable and the future is boundless, it is not guilty of using a trick to deal with opponents for a job, right? Even the villain who always has a trick is not guilty of torture to extract a confession or murder, right?

Normal people face this kind of interview, out of ten, they withdraw. He would not cry like the interviewer in the movie, would rather be beaten, be interrogated, or even risk a bullet to continue this absurd interview.

From the premise, it is unconvincing, and the whole tossing process is also the same, so even if the ending does not happen that hurts the truth, you will not forgive the mystery of this movie.

Of course, there are some smart audiences who have dug into the deep meaning behind the movie and interpreted the movie from the perspective of clinical trials. This is also nonsense. However, it's smart, and it's better than the movie.
