Uninterested in politics, he was distant from most of his colleagues in the naturalist movement.įailed as an actor, Bang earned fame as a theatre producer in Paris and in Copenhagen. He lived most of his life with his sister, but spent a few years living in Prague in 1885–86, with the German actor Max Eisfeld (1863–1935). īang was homosexual, a fact which contributed to his isolation in the cultural life of Denmark and made him the victim of smear campaigns. Among his other works are Det hvide Hus ( The White House, 1898), Excentriske Noveller ( Eccentric Stories, 1885), Stille Eksistenser ( Quiet Existences, 1886), Liv og Død ( Life and Death, 1899), Englen Michael ( The Angel Michael, 1902), a volume of poems (1889), and recollections, Ti Aar ( Ten Years, 1891). The latter won for its author the friendship of Henrik Ibsen and the enthusiastic admiration of Jonas Lie. Among his more famous stories are "Fædra" (1883) and "Tine" ("Tina", 1889). After some time spent in travel and a successful lecture tour of Norway and Sweden, he settled in Copenhagen and produced a series of novels and collections of short stories which placed him in the front rank of Scandinavian novelists. The book was considered obscene at the time and was banned. The main character was a young man who had a relationship with an older woman.
In 1880 he published his novel Haabløse Slægter ( Families Without Hope), which aroused immediate attention. How many of them feel suffocated and hopeless? If this film makes even ONE person take a day off and go fishing, it's done it's job.When he was twenty he published two volumes of critical essays on the realistic movement. It makes you think about all the millions and millions of damn cubicles out there. this movie is great, whether you're an office worker or not. fresh air, hard labor and a bright orange vest in the perfect antidote to ummm. In the end Peter discovers this is the way to go. Peter's cronies Michael and Samir are classic software engineer guys that could work at any company, and Peter's construction-worker neighbor (Oswald!) is a refreshing change from the white-collar drones that infest his day. and Milton makes you feel a bit of sad sympathy, especially when he doesn't get any cake.
We all know someone who obsesses a little TOO much about their chair, or how many paper clips they have on their desk.
Gary Cole's droning delivery and poor Milton's despondent mumbling doesn't get old. I am surprised to see Jennifer Aniston in a movie this entertaining! The use of hardcore gangsta rap as the soundtrack to the boys' underhanded deeds and violent ass-kicking of office equipment is hilarious and brilliant. Kids in the Hall did it, and now Mike Judge has done it also. Hooray for Mike Judge! I didn't think there would be a way to make fun of "office life" without merely being a living Dilbert strip and using all of the same tired old workplace jokes.
