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...
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.

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.
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.
