If you find that movie resonates with you, I’d suggest seeking professional help.  No sense in going through life angry.

I believe the movie its not solely about his reaction (anger), but how the system has been failing us in all aspects of life, leaving people clueless about what direction to take or changes to make.

So you want some "system" to tell you what to do with your life?

No. But laws do make enough restrictions to make you feel like in a maze. For instance, is marriage worth it for a man? Are there equal rights regarding parenting? Does honest hard work pays? Is being a scammer a better option? Does being a good person makes you a prey nowadays?

Always loved this movie, the way Michael Douglas wonders from 1 situation to another is great. He makes a good point how the burger in the pic looks nothing like what you get ;D

For me it's the love versus hate equation.

Would he love the people making shit work?

Or does he only hate the people that fail?


Personal experience is that liberals generally hate "the man" and have no love for "the men" that keep civilisation alive.

The system has never been for you.  Because the only way the system has ever worked is a small number of wealthy elites supported by a large amount of slaves or peasants or serfs or working class nobodies.  At any point in history.  People were designed for small tribes because we are pretty much stupid so once the group gets large enough a small amount of greedy bastards at the top create a system to support them.

"Falling down" now is more relevant than ever. It's one of only a small group of movies that remain up to date, even though it was released 31 years ago.

Great movie and great YouTube video.  I checked wiki pedia about the movie and reviews when it came out in 1993 vs reviews nowadays.  Surprise surprise every feminazi and cuck/simp chimp nowadays has to say is. 

“On the 24th anniversary of the film's release in 2017, film critic April Wolfe of LA Weekly wrote that in the article entitled "Hey White People..." that it "remains one of Hollywood's most overt yet morally complex depictions of the modern white-victimization narrative, one both adored and reviled by the extreme right". Wolfe said: "Today, we might see D-Fens and the white supremacist as the infighting sides of the far right — one couches racism in coded words like "thug," while the other wants an outright ethnic cleanse. Ultimately, what both want is to return to their idea of a purer America, unburdened by the concerns of minorities and women". Wolfe suggested that Rupert Murdoch would "go on to bottle that fury and package it as patriotism" in creating Fox News.”


Wow women are fucking idiots with 3 warm holes and can give you a kid if you are into that.  Other than that waste of fucking air at least the majority of women 50 and under nowadays.

Unrelated topic, but The Fugitive is on AMC right now. That and Tombstone always end up keeping me on that channel.

Exactly. The elites just throw enough bread crumbs to the peasants that they don't rebel. Just keeping them afloat. And the peasants think they are winning lol. Pathetic. Taxes, laws, rules, brainwashing in schools when we are most susceptable to learning etc and slaves actually think this is good for us because we were born into it and just accept it like cattle.You think you're free man just because you're not in jail? Lol. The only people that are actually free live far away from the civilization and haven't seen anything from the modern world.
