L'Emploi

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
