Movie: Falling Down

[maxster]

For some reason I find this movie hilarious.

Pretty good watch.

I find it cathartic. You're sorta rooting for him by the end.

Classic.

Everyone wants to do that to a road construction zone.

Probably because it is a comedy?

No it isn't

It IS funny how a ten year old street punk had to show him how to use the missle launcher though

The Whammy Burger scene is hilarious, and he has a point about how the food you get looks nothing like what's advertized on the picture.

 

[compman25]

That movie is great.

 

[Canai]

By the end? Hell, I was rooting for him from the beginning!

Two Oscar winners star in this dark comedy by Joel Schumacher. It's a hot summer day in L.A., and Bill Foster (Michael Douglas) is having a very bad day. He's just been fired from his defense-industry ...

IMDB also lists it as being in the Comedy Genere

This doesn't have to be about race, bro.

I :heart: Falling Down.

So many memorable scenes... the opening is classic: building tension of the traffic jam with all the noise, sweat, fly buzzing, &c. The guy wot played "Chef" in Apocalypse Now was awesome as the surplus store nut.

D-FENS!

I find it rather shallow and pedantic.

Blasphemer!

It's not meant to be deep but it is a reflection upon American society at a particularly time (immediate post Cold War) and especially though not exclusively California, the military down-sizing and general disillusion &c.

Indeed, an argument could be made for Falling Down epitomizing that moment akin to MD's Wall Street.

Pedantic does not apply.
