The lighting, the sets, the colour, that clock!

In my opinion, this is a very underrated movie.

You punch in at 8:30 every morning, except you punch in at 7:30 following a business holiday, unless it's a Monday, then you punch in at 8 o'clock. Punch in late and they dock you. Incoming articles get a voucher, outgoing articles provide a voucher. Move any article without a voucher and they dock you. Letter size a green voucher, oversize a yellow voucher, parcel size a maroon voucher. Wrong color voucher and they dock you! 6787049A/6. That is your employee number. It will not be repeated! Without your employee number you cannot get your paycheck. Inter-office mail is code 37, intra-office mail 37-3, outside mail is 3-37. Code it wrong and they dock you! This has been your orientation. Is there anything you do not understand, is there anything you understand only partially? If you have not been fully oriented, you must file a complaint with personnel. File a faulty complaint and they dock you!

The Hudsucker Proxy

Weird?  Yes!  Confusing?  Yes!  Entertaining?  Very!

Just hearing the title &quot;The Hudsucker Proxy&quot; confuses people.  I told my mom the other day, &quot;I got &apos;The Good, The Bad and The Ugly&apos;; &apos;The Big Lebowski&apos; and &apos;The Hudsucker Proxy&apos; from the library today&quot;.  You know what she said? &quot;What was that last one?&quot;  Uh-huh.  Not many people know what a &apos;proxy&apos; is, and Hudsucker sounds a lot like &apos;sucker&apos;, so it really freaks people out sometimes.

That&apos;s a reason why it&apos;s so good!  From the moment it starts - with a &apos;comedic&apos; suicide scene no less - the audience is left saying, &quot;Huh?&quot;  It stars Tim Robbins as a dimwitted mail room worker for a large company.  On his first day, the president (Charles Durning) kills himself, leaving Sydney J. Mussburger (Paul Newman) with a plan to elect a moron for the new company president so that their stocks can go down and they can sell.  Naturally, Robbins&apos; character is picked.  After that, he gets barraged by co-workers, stocks, the press, and undercover reporter Amy Archer (Jennifer Jason Leigh).  Naturally, Robbins and Leigh fall in love.

Sounds rather normal doesn&apos;t it?  Well, when you watch and meet characters like the immortal Clock Man Moses (Bill Cobbs) and the evil Aloysius (Harry Bugin), and even get a surprise visit from Durning&apos;s ghost, you&apos;ll change your mind.

Of course, it&apos;s still no &quot;Godfather&quot;, but if you have nothing to do and feel like watching an interesting Coen comedy, pop in &quot;The Hudsucker Proxy&quot;, 8/10.
