The Academy Award for Best Picture has triggered a wave of collective trauma across the island as locals mistake the title for a documentary about their own miserable existence.

While Hollywood elites celebrated the political thriller, Singaporeans assumed the six-time Oscar winner was a gritty cinematic tribute to the 8:00 AM Circle Line commute.

"Walao, I thought this movie about my life leh," remarked one exhausted office worker while weeping into a $9 iced latte.

"Every day morning fight for seat, afternoon fight for table, night fight for Grab—truly one battle after another sia, why the ang mo director never give us the trophy?"

Experts suggest the film’s success highlights a global trend of exhaustion, though Singaporeans remain the undisputed world champions of suffering.
