护士献身

A much appreciated satire, hilarious and thought-provoking, recommended by Mark Fisher in his essay "Capitalist Realism". Mike Judge, the director & writer of the original animated material, makes an accurate depiction of daily life at work in a service-oriented corporation. The obsession with layoffs, the quotidian harassing by the boss, the absurdity of bureaucratic demands, the boot-licking of the submissive faction VS the fear and hopelessness of the rest, and even the most mundane details (esp. the constantly defective copy-machine) hit home. Much material indeed for social commentary. The most striking is the tyrannical order of EXPRESSING YOURSELF, a revelatory contradiction.
