After seeing this movie I simply cannot forget it. A man woken up to go to work, obvious depression and numbness. On his way to work you see many different absurd jobs of "ordinary" people. But, obviously, he is highly ranked - he is wearing a suit, taking taxi to work... We can imagine that the servants in his home and others that serve him on his way to work consider that he has some important well paying work position. And you find out that he truly does! From the position of "ordinary" people with their boring simple jobs, his job in some tall nice building might seems something to envy for. In reality, his job could be even worse than theirs.It is such a reflection of reality because the higher positioned you are, the more crap you have to take each day.

I was attracted by this film very much. In this film, there is no dialogue and music. There are sound of foot or opening a door only. Thid affect makes think what is happening. Next, I was attracted because this film is mysterious very much. I thought that this film attracts people by marking us feel mysterious. Also, at first, I was not able to understand what is happening. However, I understand what is happening a little at last. Maybe, I think that this film expresses the current society. In the world, almost of all are employed. We live by working. Also, when we go shopping, there are people who sell goods and are employed. When I thought this point and see this film, I was fear. However, I don't know why I was fear. As a result, I think that this film makes us think many things and attract us.

The seed for this animation film can be found in the Indian a 2006 ad- film, for Happydent White(https://youtu.be/GWvxt1IL9Wg). Though this commercial is all about bringing smile to your face, but deep down it shows the same ordeal faced by employees all around the world.
Now bout this short film, from the start you have a bad feeling for the guy for all his acts, but as soon as he lay down as a door mat, you start seeing yourself in this man.

This is a story of a man who wakes up and goes to his work. It is simple story, but this has many unique scenes and is a little unrealistic. All the things he uses are human, from the table to the taxi. At first, I feel that this is full of humor and an interesting way of expression. However, I changed from the first image of this film and find the meaning of this title. Furthermore, I began to feel something fearful. It is because, of course, there is no dialogue and music, but mainly because of his astonishing action.
In addition, the sound of his snort is so cold and hopeless that I cannot help thinking about what working is. The way of feeling about it differs from person to person such as blue- and white-collar workers. This film is a symbol of working in modern society and might express the filmmakers own thoughts on this theme by the scene after the credits. Watching this film gives us a good opportunity to think the meaning of what we are doing every day.

The man at the center of this feature lives a mundane life. He is employed as are all figures in this film. What we have here is technology reduced to human terms, where taxi drivers actually carry people on their backs. Where a man literally is a doormat to his boss. Obviously, all is metaphorical. It's interesting how many of these short features show life as being pointless and depressing. Jean-Paul Sartre, you have been proved correct.

people as objects. pieces in a long routine. same gestures, same movements, same way and steps and duties and beginning of the day and the end of the work day. social criticism. obvious truth. reflection of irrationality of contemporary society. the well known facts who, on the screen, are real terrible. but this is the structure of our life. and the great virtue of this short animation is not to put the mirror front to its public but its beautiful simplicity. because nothing could be attached to a cold, realistic, maybe cynical verdict about us by ourselves.

You service other people, other people service you. Everyone has his/her own role in the society. Just do your job. Sometimes you feel some little power in your job while other time you feel powerless because your are at someone else' control.

Haven't we all experienced being tired of life? The same daily routine, the lengthy and overburdening trials, the same dramas, the awful people, neverending personal issues, etc., you get the picture. And doesn't work make it all worse? The same drudgery of having to get up every day, the same daily routine, the lengthy and overburdening trials, the same dramas, the awful people, never-ending personal issues, etc., you get the picture. This appealing crudely animated film perfectly encapsulates all of that. Used and abused, tried and tired, weary and wearily the clock ticks on...

With its low-key, quiet, almost ASMR aesthetic, 'The Employment (2008)' is oddly calming in its own rustic sort of way. The short is essentially an extended metaphor, one that takes aim at our capitalist society. It's pretty powerful, even if it doesn't exactly shout about its importance. It just lets its events speak for themselves, silently portraying a series of domestically outlandish scenarios as outlandishly domestic as possible. It's hard to describe how relaxing it is thanks to its very specific vibe. It's an impressive, well-considered and entertaining short film that has something to say and says it well.

people. as objects . or tools. at first sigh, a society criticism. in fact, a warning. about manner to discover the other. a splendid animation because each of its viewers discovers his universe frame. because it reflects frustrations and need to escape from status of piece from a series.an animation who represents more than artistic success or a great revelation. it reflects the every day reality and represents good opportunity to reflect not about an absurd, without soul system but about personal reaction front to that provocation.a dark movie. and a sunny end credits. one of animations who seems be a parable. in fact, their are only the clock for wake-up.
