An insanely brilliant work of art… the comedic and tragic aspects of life condensed into 15 wonderfully entertaining minutes. 10/10!
Do as you're told and collect a paycheck. Stand up for yourself and get fired. A perfect picture of the corporate world.
That's most jobs Inc mine
This was a great short and the actors, especially the protagonist, deserve a lot of respect. A great metaphor for a life of an office worker.
Ten years just to add one line to his CV. "And why did you leave your last job?" "I stood up." "We'll get back with you, (ruffles papers) Mr. Vidal."
Isn't that just what people do though; spend to the edge of their means and beyond into to debt. They put themselves on a hamster wheel and just get to running, soon they can't stop without loosing everything.
Well told, great story! Thanks!
So many different hidden meanings or metaphors 😊
The amount of courage one needs to step up to change... laid bare with such manic episodes its the irony of a meaningful life.
Its a metaphor for life....... Oftentimes, people are conditioned to do nothing, even when conditions are harsh...... it takes a long long time before people finally decide and are brave enough to make a change.
That's a good way to see it, also I think it's about the life we waste grinding away. Really is sitting in a chair for years much different than most of the jobs people do?. When he finally stood up from the chair he was fired almost like saying, don't step out of line in life and follow along like everybody else and don't think independently or you will be fired from society.
I think it’s about not giving your time In life just for money
I've recently been obsessed with watching short films on UA-cam, and this one is probably the best I have seen so far. brilliant!
Oh, schade. Heißt das, wir haben den besten Kurzfilm jetzt schon gesehen ? Ich habe gerade erst angefangen...😊
@@stefanier.562 Don't worry there are lots of amazing ones! Just keep looking..
Hahaha same!! My kick started today. Not mad about it 😂😅✌️🍰
Nada. How a highly motivated human being becomes imprisoned... I feel it in my bones! Great work!
We see how important the small interactions are, the cup of coffee, getting up going to the printer and being able to pee when needed…..
That's so acurate for so many jobs today.
Every job in a way like get up against the system. Money doesn't equal happiness but really life isn't about happiness when you think about it
@@Weareallimperfect well, if you think about it, the life it's designed and given to us, and sustained by God, the creator. Wether you believe it or not (yet), there's evidence for that. So in that case we are created for a purpose that is to glorify Him. And one of the ways we glorify God is by being happy, by having joy in all we do.
@@ionutneda6964 yes I see but also to glorify God we have to grow and growth is deeper,faster through suffering(sanctification) of ourselves. It's like when bad things happen to good people it's a lesson that we all need to do better as a whole. Happiness is good but fleeting the same as bad times don't last but it's in the bad times,are the greatest lessons.
I agree that life is not just about happiness.So,what is it about, everything...
@@coconuciferanuts339 suffering, progress, some happiness then repeat maybe? I think so at this point
His face when he got fired 😂😂😂😂
With the cumulative 30 percent raise, he was a rich man by the time he got fired, with more than 20k euros a month pay.
... but his wife.
Inflation exists
Reminded me somewhat of the Government Job I had where 3 years; except that I had a Desk, a Computer and a Telephone.
No IN Tray, No OUT Tray, No Duty Statement describing My Job, No work of any kind.
Just 3 years of absolute boredom for 7 Hours and 21 Minutes, Monday to Friday.
Now we know why taxes are so high and the government’s employee numbers so high. All in the name of creating employment so statistics can be fiddled.
I did a similar government job back in around 1990. Only lasted less than a year. Only saving grace is that I could listen to the radio. That is the only thing that kept me sane.
Security at the social security office. Just sitting down in front of a computer.
Stunning, thank you!
Most people couldn't handle a job like this.waste of time and life doing nothing even if u are being paid.
Powerful little film. Thoughts: be careful what you wish for! Ease isn't an end in itself. Stimulation, challenge, variety are ESSENTIAL, not just optimal.
This is on point and definitely one of those creations that needed to be made.
Hanging on the edge of his seat, literally
To sit for 10 hours and do not a single thing can’t even go pee or eat…I just simply could NOTTTT
It's basically solitary confinement.
@@eugenetswong literally
I would gladly work for 15 years and walk away with 6.4 millions+ 😂
@@abdullahmahdi3158 only 15?? Wow. That could buy me a lot of freedom. Yeah, maybe I should do that.
En dos palabras irónicamente gana más que el vigilante ,,,
Cuando le.dice.lo que gana el vs.. coge depresión ....
La vida tal cual
Muchas gracias por esta reflexion!
What does he care now, he wants to get up and has money in the bank. Very funny. 😅.
I'd go STIR-CRAZY!!!!
Just like real life 🤣
EPIC!!!GENIUS great story
OMG, it took him one year to figure out a diaper and a water straw.! This man deserve that job.!
Superb metaphor
They both have the same job.
The ending should have explained why the "job" existed... kept watching only because I thought that loose end would be tied-up.
There is no reason. The story is about his internal battle
😂 brilliant
dieses meisterwerk wird niemals einen "wichtigen" preis gewinnen. daher erkläre ich es zum kurzfilm des jahrtausends.
Brilliant.
I could not do even 1 day for 3 times my salary...nice short movie 😊
Brilliant!
THE EMPLOYMENT DREAM - WOW!
Ive had jobs like that .never lasted more than a few days. The military broke me when it comes to push up jobs. I would rather live by my wits outdoors sleeping in a car than get paid for nothing. Nothing is insanity. ❤
el mas hombre de ellos es aquel de pelo canoso! pudiera ser uno de los trabajadores mas viejos cuyo papel es vigilar sin ser visto, creo que el lleva mas tiempo alli
We can do some great things even if it seems we are doing nothing.
Fantastic
The less you do in this life -the less you happy. The more you do good for needy people in particular the more feels you live a life not just sitting in chair.
I was hired as a lab chemist and spent my first three months reading SOP's. Mostly stared at a cinder block wall.
I would sometimes find myself drooling and enjoyed the feel of the saliva running down and dripping off my chin.
Super weird
But my perception
That person is human, interviewer is destiny
His commitment and his loans are his trap
Chair is the illusion
His mindset is trying to get out but traps never allow him to do, his mindset is voice of god
Destiny gives the path, traps and commitment never allow to chose the different path, we never follow our inner voice, ultimately we lose our lifetime and when we decide lot is lost
eso explica la cadena de la vida de hoy, cada uno tiene dominio sobre su vida! podemos cambiarla dandola un rumbo positivo para nosotros y nuestra familia. solo requiere una condicion, saber a donde realmente queremos ir, despues todo lo que tiene que ver co alcanzar esa meta es puro plan de vida, por eso creo que él acabo asi al final de la historia. el hubiera trazado un plan para no acabar como el otro, ya que habia ya terminado sus deudas
No questions were answered.
newly found gem :*
Such a creepy and sad story.
That was moving, it reminded me of like, people's drug addiction stories
El sueño español....pero pudiendo salir a fumar 😂
Good thing is that I played Control with Spanish voice acting.
This movie had me almost peeing my pants.
excellent
but by doing nothing you are actually doing something...
Que triste pobre Hombre
He should have invested the money, keep expenses to minimum, quit after achieving financial freedom.
Some of the Spanish words used surprised me. His word he uses for "ass" is "culo". It is correct but it's also concidered vulger.
I would think they'd use "nalgas" or "fondallo". Of course they isn't supposed for kids and it might not be vulgar in Spain.
He is a very handsome man...especially when he grows the beard!
I couldn't do it.
I think we spend so much that we are in a vicious circle go to work spend go to w I rk or debt
At 10 years it’d be €250,000 per year. 30% compounded annually. But what was the objective and moral of the tale?
I am wondering too. He got more into debt, wife got child, was his. Got a dog, wife left him. He stood up.and his income left too. Yes, he was being watched. Saved the company $$ as the security guy quit...at the end, still a job, got paid For doing no production but got screwed by wife. Jobless, old and with child and a dog. No benefits? No vacation paid?
That's basically life. A hamster wheel. Same old same old. Basically the same work day over and over. Maybe some variation, but even in the variation, there is a pattern. Other points: Then you have people living at the edge of their means, then boom, fired. Spending too much time living to work and not working to live. Not taking care for your needs, not setting healthy boundaries with those close to you leads to trouble. You should set some $ aside for the future. Even when you think no one is watching...you could be wrong. People can get fired for dumb reasons. Sometimes quitting a job because it is boring and driving you mad, quietly and slowly, is a perfectly good reason. Don't sit around in a bad job just because it is the easiest thing to do.
what is the final conclusion on this but ?
Ha ha ha. You never know
👍🏾👍🏾
It’s okay, he made enough money to retire happu
No he didn't. He was in debt.
😂👍🏼
🙏🏻🙏🏻😄
IF U DONT HAVE ANY ANIMALS! TO TEND TO THEN DO ALL LIFE A FAVOR & GO LIVE ON MARS OR EVEN BEYOND THAT S U MIGHT HAVE AN IDEA EVER BETTER... R.I.P.
Nope. Nada. Non. De rien.
Oh nooo 😵😵👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
I think it’s about the relationship of human to God, people tend to be a good person or follow the rules only because they thought God is watching.
the ending is crap - too bad
I’m confused? Is this a welfare recipient in the US?
So majestic, wonderful and excellent film. Great story and life-changing lessons. 🪑🎬👏
At least he cab draw some unemployment now. Blessings! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Aye yi yi... that was insane. Literally. 🫤
