The parts with him whacking the punching bag felt like some sort of performance art.

I think he's trying to say something about the state of violence in the modern world and how easy it appears to cover our eyes by shielding ourselves and withdrawing into our umbrellas. A false sense of safety from the rains of injustice in the world.

Edit: Or perhaps because the man is wearing a fine suit it's a commentary on classism. The upper-class gentleman prefers to stand on the shoulders of the working and middle classes (the chair scene) all the while supported by his own economic safety net. The watermelon scenes likewise display the power of the wealthy to control and destroy the food supply of the working man.

The punching bag scenes are separated and distinct because of the handles of the umbrella. This is done to demonstrate that whether with a hooked (crooked) or straight handle, the upper class has the power to control and dominate. This implies that the problem is systemic, rather than individual. Whether by crooked or honorable means, there can be no true equality or harmony between the wealthy and the poor.

Well, this might also be only advertising to try and sell you an overpriced umbrella
