“Advantageous” by Jennifer Phang (USA, 2015)

Advantageous

Slow-moving satire of the corporate world that dehumanize the individual.
A movie depicting our world in a not too far-fetched future, a world that has no advantage to offer for us, humans, a world in which we have to become inhuman to survive.
Among some of the ideas brought forward:

  • We should talk about “natural deselection” because humanity makes the same errors again and again
  • “There’s nothing fiercer than a mother’s love”
  • Corporations prefer to fire women because they will stay at home, and men won’t
