      Would you sympathize with someone like him off-screen?

      Looking at it all the way, I can see that almost everyone except the male protagonist is stupid, retired policeman, stupid female policeman, stupid shop owner, madman, restaurant manager, waiter, and ex-wife. I think it is these indifferent people who make the poor man go. On the road of no return and hope that the male protagonist will start a happy life with his daughter in his arms. In the end, he retired from the policeman's solo, what he said. It really hurts to stand and talk without...

      The Tragedy of Aries

      Falling Down is an exemplary work on how to deal with this shitty world.

      Michael is somebody we all want to be, being able to say all the things that we want to say, do all the things that we all want to do; although it is exhilarating, it doesn't lead anywhere. In fact, this kind of inner anger will eventually destroy us.

      The old cop, however, is kind of a saint. He is able to navigate this shitty world with ease because he is full of humor, forgiveness and love toward...

      No one is born good-natured

      No one is naturally good-natured, and no one is immune to foul language, but they have the rationality to clench their fists and loosen them, and the self-cultivation to swallow when something comes to their mouths. Coke is too expensive, this is not a reason to smash the shelves; breakfast is not served after the time, this is not an excuse to fire a gun; because of traffic jams on the road, it is not a reason to abandon the car and block other people's roads... Finally He asked...

      forced out anger

      Through the protagonist all the way home, it shows the current situation and problems of American society in the 1990s... All of them have been approved... The color and sound are handled very well, and the constant noise and tinnitus surround, reflecting the protagonist's impending outbreak... The only drawback is that Why the protagonist is irritable and irritable, from the beginning to the end, I feel that this is a cynical laid-off worker's revenge for social injustice, but it does not...

      The desperation of an unemployed man, watching a bit of an anti-hero fan of "God Bless America" ​​in the middle, and then turning into a real police and gangster movie. The hero's last fall was very imposing. Looking at the cast list at the end of the film, I found that this character didn't even have a name, so it was called...

    Evaluation action

    If "Urban Heroes" were produced in the 1980s, it might become a favorite movie for the audience. When a white hero shoots drugs or takes revenge on a rapist, the audience will cheer for it. Joe Schumacher and his screenwriter Abby Ro Smith have yet to make a revenge movie, and when Douglas pulls the trigger, the structure of the movie cannot inspire cheers from the audience. Maybe this is feasible for ordinary audiences, but for more...

    Movie quotes

    • Bill Foster: Hey. Why are you putting barbed wire on that fence? Is this how you rich people amuse yourselves? You put barbed wire on the fence so innocent people like me can hurt themselves looking in?

    • Frank (Golfer): Hey, you there! What are you doing there?

      Bill Foster: Just passing through.

      Frank (Golfer): Nobody said you could play through! Get off my hole!

      Jim (Golfer): Frank, Frank, he said he was passing through. Passing through.

      Frank (Golfer): He's not even a member, look at the way he's dressed, for Christ's sake! Would you get off my golf course?

      Bill Foster: I am!

      Frank (Golfer): Go back the way you came!

      Jim (Golfer): Frank, Frank, listen, I don't like the looks of this guy. Leave him alone, will you?

      Frank (Golfer): [getting worked up] Listen, what am I paying my fucking dues for? This is my golf course! If I want to play here, I will play here, you understand? If he gets hit with my Titleist, that's his fucking problem!

      Jim (Golfer): Don't yell at me, I'm just here playing with you.

      Frank (Golfer): FORE!

      [Foster ignores him and keeps walking]

      Frank (Golfer): FORE!

      [Frank hits his ball, Foster ducks and falls to the ground to avoid getting hit by it. He pulls out a shotgun out of his bag]

      Bill Foster: FINE! What the hell are you trying to do? Kill me with a golf ball? It's not enough you got all these beautiful acres fenced in for your little game, but you gotta kill me with a golf ball? You should have children playing here! You should have families having picnics, you should have a goddamn petting zoo! Instead you've got these stupid electric carts for you old men with nothing better to do!

      [he shoots their golf cart, it rolls down the hill. Frank clutches his chest and falls to the ground]

      Jim (Golfer): Frank? Frank? What's wrong, Frank? Frank? Frank, are you OK?

      Bill Foster: Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

      Jim (Golfer): Oh my God! I gotta get some help!

      [Jim runs off. Foster walks up to Frank, who is writhing on the ground, having a heart attack]

      Bill Foster: What's wrong with you?

      Frank (Golfer): [gasping] Heart...

      Bill Foster: Your heart? Something's wrong with your heart? Well, what can I do?

      Frank (Golfer): Pills... pills...

      Bill Foster: Pills? Where are your pills?

      [Frank tries to say "cart" and points down the hill, Foster turns and sees the golf cart plunging into a water hazard]

      Bill Foster: [smirking] Well, I guess you're out of luck, aren't you? Your little cart's going to drown. Now aren't you sorry you didn't let me pass through your golf course?

      Frank (Golfer): [wheezing, barely able to speak] My... golf... course...

      Bill Foster: Yeah. And now you're going to die, wearing that stupid little hat. How does it feel?

    • [the gang members try to get revenge on Foster with a drive-by shooting. It fails and they crash their car. Foster calmly walks up to the wreckage and kneels down by one of them who is lying injured on the ground]

      Bill Foster: You missed.

      [he picks up the gang member's Uzi and fires a shot]

      Bill Foster: I missed too.
