the company men (2010). directed by john wells.


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
