Truth, big time.

Glad this is a fresh comment heh I've had a few days like that. (I'm in IT doin' tickets how ppl do)

I was 20 (almost 21) when this movie came out and liked it then. Now, I'm almost 50, and see it in a completely different light. After half a century of seeing what a garbage dump life is it isn't just a superficially entertaining movie. The way he looks at it all he wants is an honest job, his wife and kid and to live the American dream and be left alone. Not justifying some of the things he does by any means, but I can understand him. Amazing the way age changes your perspective on things.

@Pacho Pacho - Anybody can live the American dream, it's what YOU make out of it, not what others portray it to be. My family and I immigrated here, didn't know the language, were dirt poor and after working our asses off are now successful. We live our version of the American dream.

False. it's a story about being a HUMAN in the U.S. Plain and simple. It has nothing to do with race or "privilege", and has everything to do with class, and just trying to be a decent person in a world filled with very shitty people who assume privilege.

@@zapkvr - What "Privilege?" please tell us about this.

If this was adapted to a video game, I would buy it.

Yeah, it's called a movie...a fantasy written by a playwright, scriptwriters in Hollywood, and acted out in front of the cameras with a director, a producer, a wardrobe master, makeup artists and they act it over and over again until they get it right. That is what it is. It has absolutely nothing to do with anyone's reality.

That was the moment he became Heisenberg.

He's definitely sane, he was literally subjected to constant narcissitic abuse. He encountered a dozen of insane people. He's the only sane one on screen.

I also like "clear a path you motherfucker!"

“Well maybe if you wrote it fucking English I could fucking understand it.”

It's a classic, not underrated from those of my generation. If asked what my favorite Michael Douglas movie is, without hesitation it's Falling Down.

Still have it on VHS myself!

I think it's just the lead up to the key line: "l'm going home, clear a path".

Yes more subtle is the fact that you think he’s snapping throughout the day and then realize he’s been crazy for months before the story even began.

A little common respect for everyone you come across can do wonders for humanity.

My philosophy too, mate!

It's odd that I stumbled on your comment as I don't call people rude names in the comment section of youtube. I thanked a doctor for posting a summary of several recent science articles on covid and I was attacked for stating a simple "thank you" comment.

That’s profund and the correct attitude

Yeah, I thought of that when I saw that shootout outside the bank in North Hollywood like the movie "Heat" -- when I realized those two guys drove in traffic to get to the bank in body armor with guns and ammo all over. They were in the car in front of you, possibly, when you thought of honking your horn and giving them the finger at one point, not realizing they were suicidal killers.

I can understand that. What a classic.

This is a very movie-inspired statement. In real life, people shouting around like madmen are most likely dangerous and people who don't speak up are most likely easy victims.

The 'Phantom' has spoken. We know return you to our regular programming.

Very true

And I can assure you that in real life, if this situation happened, no matter what you say, Michael Douglas would be dead. Calm or not. Lol Fuck outta here with that calm b.s. This is a movie. The shit that happened in this scene wouldn't have happened like this. AT ALL.

@@anthonyjoseph618 It takes time for that to happen. In this case, in real life, he would be dead. Just stop defending this comment. It's naive af. And if you want to test out the theory if whether or not a quiet person can be a killer then you stay quiet for a while and see what happens. lol

He was never the villain to me. I cheered for him from the get go.

Actually when I was younger, I still saw him as the protagonist.

A lot of men can relate to this character. They go to college, get a job, are law obeying citizens just trying to eke out an honest living in today's ridiculously expensive society. They did everything right and everything society tells us we should do and it didn't get them very far. Then they lose what little they did have... their job of 20 years or their wife divorces them and they have to pay child support and only get to see their kids once in awhile while their wife has already moved on to some new guy. Many men have a similar story. Most don't snap like this character but you can easily see how it can get to this point.

@@notnigglergracuncate2818 me too. He plays the part that our inner selves would love to do but are too scared to.

Nice works where it's needed. Being an asshole 'just in case' will likely get you into more shit than out of it. The key thing is being able to judge a situation accordingly and use your instincts while reading signals from someone you may get into a confrontation with.

@Pacho Pacho race baiting, are ya?

Quick, what's their names?

@Pacho Pacho bravo for taking 20 something minutes to look it up. Or, as I like to put it, you have no clue who they are cause they're bit actors. Michael Douglas on the other hand is an A List actor name from an acting dynasty. You are race baiting, nothing more than that. Cut the bullshit and stop trying to separate the world. There was no malice, and nothing race related in the dude's comment. By the way, their acting was sub par at best and in roughly 3 total minutes of the movie, versus the main character that starred in it throughout. GTFOH

@Pacho Pacho dude.. that is the name of the game in Hollywood.... the actor tries to convince you they are the character they are playing..

@Pacho Pacho Yes, they played their part well. If they didn't, it would probably be two other Mexicans.

As much as I like this movie, I'd say Frailty is the most underrated movie ever (at least out of the ones I've seen)

A wonderful shot

I almost started shit with a guy in my town in the street for giving me dirty looks. Later on I talked to him at a coffee shop and found out he was training in knife fighting for years to be a martial arts instructor and always carried a knife hidden near his belt. That could have gone wrong for me, looking back.

well, he was breathing fast and acted intimidated so I think the gang members sensed fear. what they didn't realize is that he wasn't scared, he was getting angry.

Everyone has their breaking point.

I knew a bouncer and pro fighter who told some guy in a bar to stop talking to his girlfriend. The guy said not use that tone with him and asked him if he wanted to fight, not realizing it was literally the only thing that bouncer knew how to do. He fought almost every day for years. So he said, "Sure" in a way that was so matter of fact, I imagine, that the other guy should have paused. Instead, outside, the bouncer dislocated the guy's elbow for him.

@@StephenDoty84 Wow. Sometimes lessons are not fun. My best friend in the mid 80's was in a bar. Two guys were pinching girls butts, and just causing trouble. The bouncer who had a black belt threw them out. They started cussing him, so he started walking toward them. The next thing he knew, he got stabbed in the chest. About 20 guys came out of the bar, including my friend. One of the trouble making guys had a wooden leg, and these 2 grew up in a bad part of town. They were mean, dangerous, and weren't playing around. They turned, and acted like they were leaving, when one of them pulled out a 32 revolver, and started unloading it into the crowd. My friend got shot in the leg, and another got shot in the right shoulder. Everyone started scattering, as he reloaded, and began shooting again. My friend said they were about 25 yards out, and this guy was hitting everything in sight. 3 more guys were hit, one dying later at the hospital. 8 police cars showed up, and cornered them on a hill. Today when I talk to my friend. We both agree. If you can avoid the situation all together, or try and defuse it. Thats your best bet. I realize some are impossible to avoid, but at 56 years old, I've learned most people respond to kindness, and respect quite nice.
