just on the day that donald trump is elected as president. poor alienated white men wanting to be heard in the era of recession and globalization, pining their hopes on a man known as a pussy grabber and doesn't pay tax. are we that naive?
not that i don't sympathize with the struggles of the men in this movie. i do - of the middle class dealing with its sense of insecurity in corporate jobs. it's an easy watch that doesn't make demands for us to think of the underlying issues - like why job creation is retarded, why CEOs are paid big bucks while ordinary workers are laid off in droves, why men still put their self worth in a job in order to be men.
something worth reading on the last point - men at work
