EOC: "9 to 5" week 3

The 9 to 10 film is about a movie of how women feel about their boss, in this case are three secretaries that have a sexist boss. The movie focus on how these women fantasy of how would they kill their own boss since he has been a horrible and disrespectable person. But how did they come up with the idea and what sources did they use to gather all the information.

T hey focused on a theme and then did some research on it. Most of the people directing, or writing the film had never been in a office atmosphere and had no idea of how would the secretaries day be and even that they actually all of them had fantasy of how killing their boss.

The writer stayed the necessary time in the fox offices to research and make focus groups to the women that work there and gather the information.
In the film you can see many issues that the characters face in their work atmosphere in this case the secretaries. For example back than women were treated poorly in their jobs as if they were the boss slaves. They were never taken seriously.

In the other side the boss would not even respect them such as he would make them disrespectful offer and dirty talk to them as if they were a street girl. He would only see them as a sexual object.

The film was made to bring a message out and for people to relate to the film, in case everyone has had a boss that we just hate! It’s been more than 25 years and many people from a young to older generation relates with the movie and has fun and laugh about since the film at the end all ends up working well.
