Office Space (1999)
A dark comedy about unfulfilling work
Office Space is about workers in a company fruitlessly doing useless jobs for a manager who hasn't a clue. It's about high-paid consultants who at their best tell you the obvious, and at their worst turn black into white.
The workers rebel, and then the trouble starts.
What's sad about this movie, and ultimately what makes is so funny is that the dysfunctional company described in the movie is reality for lots of people.
I like the characters in the movie most of all. I liked the employee with no assertiveness, the employees who become greedy and deal with the consequences and the managers to just take, and take, and take...
This movie belongs in every American boardroom.
Qualcuno in ascolto (1988)
Not bad for a film nobody has ever heard of
This is a suspense story about a man isolated by geography (he works in a satellite earth station in the alps) and a boy isolated by the loss of his father. They meet via shortwave radio and then the man sees some nasty doings via his big antenna. Technically it's not TOO infeasible. It's a fair yarn with moderate tension. It's an adventure story that anyone in the family could get sucked into. If you don't see anything better at the Video store, give it a look see.
