Antiwork movies I have seen are:
- Office Space (now on Prime again, was payable till recently)
- Brazil
- Metropolis (much of)
- Quadrophenia
- 9 to 5
- The IT Crowd
- Sweeney Todd (I think this counts, there is much likening of capitalism to cannibalism)
… Any suggestions? Or things with a similar vibe, perhaps more in the anarchist line.
This Q was asked not too long back .. but any more suggestions?
I also love movies where the protagonist is just an average schmuck, at least until propelled out of their depth by events. I suppose “Total Recall” counts, or sticking with PKD, his “Galactic Pot-Healer” novel.
Novels have wider themes, but examples I can think of are
- The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists (piecework decorators)
- Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (piecework lathe operator)
- Charles Bukowski has some of the rejectionist, embrace-dropping-out vibe
- Some Dickens is horribly realistic about the inhuman conditions of Victorian labour
…?
