i guess i’ve still got some more healing to do

it’s obvious that ben stiller knew exactly what he was doing when directing the show. like those symmetrical shots that symbolise the severed minds of lumon, or the colour grading of the hallways, designed to hit that cold, curious part of our brain and to SIT. US. DOWN.

something that also captured my attention was the contrast between the usual, soul-destroying routine and featureless workplace, to the final, where everything is chaos; the camera more shaky, and the obvious alarm going off, accompanied with this rushed music to make us feel more panicked.

not to mention the acting. everyone is just so perfectly monotone and dull and uniform; to the point it’s almost uncanny, and gives us this odd sense of uncomfort.

shout out to these guys, they my goats
