Who ruled that justice must triumph over evil? If this is the case, then the world will no longer be called the world, society will no longer be called society, and the earth will no longer be called the earth.

    A very powerful film, the result of contradicting mainstream values. The cruel reality is often like this, being sold and still helping some money, about the truth, what we know is often a fart!

    Would you feel more comfortable getting rid of a symbolic criminal? We always think that we can solve the problem by finding the key person, and we think that as long as this "outlier" is eliminated from our society, we will succeed.

Arlington Road quotes

  • Michael Faraday: They asked you what you stand for. You tell them, you stand for blowing up families. For orphan sons. Your father really killed himself you son of a bitch? Or is that just where you got your start?

    [steps on Lang's neck]

    Michael Faraday: Call it off.

    Oliver Lang: It's for you, Michael. We're doing this for you. It's for all of us.

    Michael Faraday: It's not for me, call it off!

    Oliver Lang: Are you happy in your godless suburban life?

    Michael Faraday: Call off the bomb! Call off the fuckin' bomb!

    [Lang smashes the walkie talkie]

    Michael Faraday: No!

    Oliver Lang: They sent your wife to her death, Michael! Surely you won't be sorry to see them go?

    [Faraday runs off]

    Oliver Lang: Go on... run. You're too late!
