Javier Bardem and Almudena Amor in “The Good Boss”īardem’s Blanco wants to soothe his employees with his velvet purr of a voice, the sonic equivalent of a cup of cocoa and a seat by the fire. It’s about making company problems disappear - just like how most corporate human resources are there to protect the company more than improve employee quality of life. But none of his meddling is really designed to help his employees. His Blanco thinks that he’s charm personified, someone who can solve all his employees’ problems through the force of his charisma: for poor Miralles, he thinks taking him to a brothel is the way to get him to forget about his wife. And there’s Liliana (Almudena Amor), the new marketing intern Blanco immediately takes more than a shine to because she’s beautiful - or in Blanco’s words, “tall.”īardem is a hulking presence throughout “The Good Boss,” someone who looms over his company as much as manages it. Blanco’s handyman Fortuna (Celso Bugallo), whose son is a hooligan known to beat up immigrants. Jose (Óscar de la Fuente), who’s just been laid off and has set up a camp in front of the factory to protest. There’s Miralles (Manolo Solo), whose disintegrating marriage leads to him being distracted on the job and screwing up key shipments that’ll cost the company money. Not to mention, sometimes you have to make “difficult decisions for the good of the family.”Īnd, my, do Blanco’s “children” have problems. And in an all-staff town hall that opens the movie, he talks about how he sees his employees as his “children.” Then he goes on to say that, of course among one’s children there will be favorites. That’s foreshadowed early on in Fernando León de Aranoa’s slight, but never boring satire of capitalism - a movie that isn’t quite sure what it’s saying, even as it mesmerizes you with Javier Bardem’s performance.īardem’s Julio Blanco owns a factory that makes scales. And he has all the team-building buzzwords down: especially about how his employees are his “family.” But giving your management of your company such a personal touch can backfire spectacularly. He probably subscribes to the Harvard Business Review. There is a theory that Ant-Man will fly into Thanos's butt to save the galaxy, but that probably won't happen.You know he’s read all the best management books.
The story picks up after the dramatic conclusion to Infinity War, which saw the evil Thanos snap his fingers and immediately wipe out half of the galaxy's population. The director's cut would only be about two minutes longer, he estimated.Īvengers: Endgame hits theatres at the end of the month. And everybody that saw the movie felt the same way," he said.Ĭo-director Anthony Russo is also quoted in the piece he said only "very little" was cut from Endgame. "We got to a point where it feels very exciting and goes by very quickly and in the end is the perfect length. And if a movie doesn't feel like that to us we continue to trim, we continue to shape, we continue to bring that time down."įeige confirmed that Marvel made cuts to Endgame "to a certain extent" to make sure it didn't overstay its welcome while also delivering a satisfying conclusion to 10 years worth of storytelling. And movies that you just don't ever find a good time to run out to the bathroom. Movies that you want to see again as soon as it's over.
