How many ways can someone pretending to be happy in the corporate world potentially off themselves? There are several not so subtle methods indicated in the scene among a backdrop of the classic bullshit corporate motivational posters. The expression that Rey has of pretending everything is great to appease his boss but masking a deep emptiness and dissatisfaction is just spot on with what I've seen myself time and again in corporate offices.The title is excellent! I actually laughed a little bit out loud when I opened the poster, as I had seen the title before I started but not the visual design... not at all what I was expecting to find and I still get a kick out of it. The motivational signs are well done, just bland and vague enough to not convey anything important while also instilling a feeling that they are supposed to and you just don't get it. Incorporating the title into one of these posters is cheeky and fun, adding to the bizarre nature of the scene.
My criticism lies mostly in the detail work of the various elements. The composition is there: the perspective of the desk, the placement of the various lethal items, and most importantly the scale and perspective of Rey; all effective and well placed. I think the edges could be cleaner, shadows worked out more and the angle/perspective of the items of the desk could be manipulated to look more realistic.
