He hasn’t devolved as a man, he just knows that it is a cycle that the government takes tax payer money to support people who can work, not just the ones who can’t, which drives taxes up resulting in the cost of items to go up and he is sick of it. Thanks Biden.

The la riots were happening when they filmed it.. that gloom is a mixture of smog, smoke, and sunlight

Even the fast food restaurant uniforms looked extra ugly. The buck toothed manager really nailed it in that scene.

Agreed. Probably his best role.

Best movie he ever did

Exactly.....problem is, that film is wayyyy too radical to fit into today's ass-kiss society....if made for TV, they'd have to do so much editing the whole movie would only last 12 minutes

calculated racism

Yes. I think the 90’s were like a hangover of the 80’s. Films like Goodfellas and this didn’t get much attention at the time. Yet Titanic and Dances with Wolves were lauded. It was like the blockbuster movies with nonsense storytelling got all the attention while the real gems were ignored. In the end I haven’t watched Dances with Wolves since it came out. But I’ve probably watched Goodfellas 100 times and this movie at least 30 times.

I’m surprised the YT police haven’t pounced on me over the use of the apostrophe on Douglas’s. Douglases. Douglas’. Fire away MF’s !

The nazi store owner was a pretty bad dude.

It sort of portrays everyone as being lost in their own world, only into their own problems, without any regard for anyone else. His fall is slow and gradual in the movie, but instead of anyone helping him out, you get the sense that everyone keeps pushing him farther down. Almost like the world wants to see him fall.

That's color grading.

You think there's a gray area in this scene? And "nobody is right or wrong" here?

Obviously Douglas' character is in the wrong, it's explicitly stated at the end of the movie. His response can't be considered proportional in any way. But you can feel his frustration at the loss of common decency. He's not asking the guy to break $100, he just needs a few quarters for the phone. It would be close to no effort, as it's clearly portrayed that he has plenty of change. But no, "store policy", we don't provide even the most basic courtesy unless we profit from it. Of course that's the store owner's right. Of course it doesn't justify smashing up the store. But in this case that's what the dehumanization of society led to.

The Game and this movie are the best.

Totally agree

It's all about how much is your salary on a weekly basis, for instance, and how prices are compared to that. Here in England I always use the example of how much I earn per hour and how much certain things cost.

In the world of this movie, for one day in L.A there are direct consequences. Moral of the story: People should be kind to each other.

@@emperoremyhriv4968 It really depends where you are in the US. Cost of living is highly variable. Minimum wage in my California city is $16.30/hour, and that's not even a realistic survival wage here. Apartment rents are in the low thousands per month. The median sale price of a single-family home is $1,375,000 as of last month. Yes, that's over a million dollars. You have to make a six digit income here to live comfortably. Now in comparison, the median home price in Montgomery, Alabama is just $152,300. There's currently a 2 bedroom, 1 bath home listed for $37, 500. Wages are lower there, but overall cost of living is much less.

I think so to, it captured the misdirected rage of the American middle class. This guy destroys some immigrant's shop because he's mad the dude charges more for a coke than he had to pay like twenty years earlier. So the immigrants and small businesses take the blame and shoulder the harm of the negative effects of inflation due to corporate greed and bad fiscal policy. As intended, of course.

"I'm rolling back demographics to 1965, what do you think of that?"

@Tha Real Mccoy you don't get it? People like Foster and the people who defend him love to blame immigrants for everything including high prices when in fact the only reason independently owned stores have to charge so much is because American corporations (ie Walmart) can afford to pay warehouses discount bulk prices which loosens them up to charge less for merchandise. It's not that small businesses are purposely trying to be expensive, they are just trying to make a profit after paying full wholesale prices.

agree 200%

Really? The flags would have been like 10 cents. He could have purchased one of them and made THREE phone calls. That's what was in my head. I'd like to reshoot this scene only with the Korean guy explaining that all of the prices are based on his base prices which are nowhere near as low as a chain store because he buys in lower volume. "You see sir, my cost per can is 60 cents per can... my markup is 15-20% so that I can make a profit after paying for rent in this area, insurance to run a store in this area, maintenance just to keep the store legally allowed to open and for the electricity to keep the lights on - as well as keeping that old cooler cold. Then I have customers who come in and ruin my inventory because they are mad at the world and think it's OK to take it out on me... just because I'm trying to keep my family fed. Do you fucking think I'm rich and work here just for fun?"

@@MoCWord maybe there’s an alternate take where the store owner talks in greater details about the economics of his pricing, but it was cut cause it was too time-consuming and didn’t seem relevant to the real meaning in the story, haha!

The Korean convenience stores are run in areas of LA where they do not have grocery stores. They keep their prices high due to shop lifting and robberies.

Good point!

Douglas’s character was already cuckoo prior to the traffic jam and job loss, as evidenced by old video of his family shown near the end of the movie. However, everyone can relate a bit to his frustrations of society breaking down.
