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 himself: Am I a bad person? As a moviegoer, I don't know how to answer him. Is he sick, society sick, or both he and society sick? D-Fens finally chose to sentence himself to death, so what about the society, who will treat it?

Such people are so paranoid; such love is terrifying; such a world is so crazy.

    The first set of shots is really plagiarized...

    Sad company employee, sad father; sad old policeman, sad husband; sad thug, sad boyfriend; sad society, sad American dream. Reminiscent of De Niro in "Taxi Driver", Arthur in "Joker", and Lao Bai in "Breaking Bad", everyone was originally just an ordinary person who wanted to live a good life, but was gradually forced into the crowd. the edge, until it rises up against it. The Chinese Dream is also giving birth to a violent generation, but we don't have guns. While doing cruel things, he asked "Am I a bad person" in doubt? Too many people have passed the age of confusion and are still full of confusion in this rapidly developing world. The opening traffic jam scene was really well filmed. Douglas was not only wrapped up in the car, but was also overwhelmed by irritability and anxiety. In the end, he abandoned the car and fled despite everything, and finally ran out of a small hole that made people gasp. In the end, Bill pulled out a squirt toy gun and exchanged his life for his daughter Adele for a pacification fee, the last birthday present a father could give his daughter. In memory of Joe Schumacher.

Falling Down quotes

  • Nick: What kind of vigilante are you?

    Bill Foster: I am not a vigilante. I am just trying to get home to my little girl's birthday and if everybody'll stay out of my way, then nobody'll get hurt.

  • Bill Foster: This is a gangland thing, isn't it? We're having a, uh, a territorial dispute, hm? I mean, um, I've wandered into your pissing ground or whatever the damn thing is and you've taken offence at my presence and I can understand that. I mean, I wouldn't want you people in my back yard either.
