Despite the majority of the people on our planet having monotonous, often terrible jobs, there are few movies about them. I don't mean plots where the underdog gets involved in some crazy crime or becomes a hero against the odds. I refer to the theme of being poor and underappreciated being everything.
The majority of the rich, as the driver of economic disparity, certainly don't care for poverty except as entertainment, but the slaves of our world are equally to blame for using soapies, fake reality shows and mindless action films to escape.
This isn't about blame, but me explaining why I think there are too few necessary movies that teach us the plight of our fellow human beings. 'The Chambermaid' deserves companions such as 'The Street Sweeper', 'The Tollbooth Operator' etc.
Don't let me be so sociological as to be insensitive to the fact that this is also about the main character struggling to overcome her shyness so as to be less alone, and, more importantly, struggling to be more versus a world that's bigger than her.
As sub-theme, 'The Chambermaid', indirectly yet clearly asks and answers: "Do you leave your respect and responsibility at home, or carry it with you as a hotel guest?"
