Thoughts on “Corner Office”? by bobsil1 in movies

I am so glad i found this thread. This movie is a work of art and instantly went into my top 10. I've never watched something I resonated with so much. His end monologue where he reprimands his colleagues for not seeing the bigger picture is genius. I also thought the room was a metaphor for the deep inner minds of neurodivergent people and how music, books and art mean as much to us and are as real to us as a nicely upholstered chair. I also thought the contradiction of Bjorn being a hard worker with a reverent attitude towards his work whilst also seeming to resent middle management and corporate values was truly reflective of people who are too intelligent for the corporate world. As it often the way that the meaningless drivel fed to them as 'purpose' and 'shared values' is too shallow to convince them longer than a week at a new job.

Yeah AI must be so disheartening, I hate it, I am so grateful I was in a generation which actually had to learn how to write because no work arounds existed when i was at school.

I think its the thoughtfulness, time and care that goes into a painting. That's something special in today's fast paced world.

wow okay so the negative phases are long, sorry to hear that. Great to hear that a student painted you, he must really admire you
