the first part of the three meals, breakfast, was my favorite, and this video is brilliant. I think breakfast shows how we can be robotic in some terms. (wake up, eat, work, bed) I give it a 10.

I don't want to contradict your view.. but for me, "Breakfast" shows, how modern jobs can affect people.. they're becoming robotic, like you said, but they're also getting treated like a robot, they have to "function". E.G. when you are working as a cook, you just have to make a meal, nothing more. It's like someone sticks some coins in your throat and gets a meal for it, nothing more. This is, what I see in it. But you may be right as well.. I think, Svankmajer wants to be arguable in his work.

I agree with this and have something to add. I wondered for a while why in Part 1 he's got two 'switches' of the food provider/person who eats. I think it's to show how the older people haven't adjusted to this lifestyle yet- you see how the first guy (who is older) has to read the instructions several times, and the second younger red-bearded santa guy is in and out in a minute. Just my $.02
