Response to Le Corbusier, one of
the most famous modern architecture, his work is very simple im shape and form
but very functional. All of his work is very logical and straight forward. He
think everything should be simple, so Jacques Tati did a film called Playtime,
which to me is to making fun of Le Corbusier theory of minimalism. The film is
about making the city very simple in architect form and to see how people react
to it.
The film is in colored but the
idea of putting everything simple, the film look like black and white. The city
is very simple and very organized. The office is just like a big box that has
many small boxes inside to separate each room, which look very weird to me. And
the funniest part of the film is that Hulot ( the main character) get lost very
easily because the building is too simple that they can’t tell the different. And
there is another part that he was lost because he saw the man that he need to
meet on another side of the building, so he walk to the man, but actually it
was just the reflection of the glass wall. The whole building is covered by the
glass wall, so there is reflection everywhere.
After watch this film, I don’t
think I want to stay in this kind of city, where we do everything the same. To
have same car, same work, same office, wearing same kind of clothes. Life probably
be very boring. I kind of prefer the city that I’m living right now. People
should have their own way of lifestyle. We can take any kind of transportation
like car, bus, or BTS. We should have freedom to choose whatever we like not
everyone is all the same. It is more interesting to have different kind of
size, height, stlye of building than having all building look all the same.
