I love how you empathize with D in the beginning of the movie, but you slowly start to realize he's batshit insane and the "bad guy".
I also like that the movie shows so much of LA in a bad light, not just one race or demographic. The city is pretty fucking wild and it captures that feeling of just a fuck ton of weird people wandering around, makes me want to drive around and just take it all in.
The movie summed up how LA would descend into 3rd world status once it became majority non white.
It's actually redpilled on how "diversity" destroys civic cohesion and creates poverty and misery.
It's definitely a great LA movie. You should also watch Collateral, which is another films that that explores the physical landscape and demography of LA.
it is a rare great lefty movie. Also as OP stated a great LA movie.
Buhbuhbuhback to pol
Interesting premise completely ruined by the one-dimensional filmmaking typical of Shoefucker. Not surprised brainlet Sup Forumstards who recently infested this board praise it.
it's all just mexicans now outside of the rich areas. mass immigration has killed diversity in california.
also D is nowhere near batshit crazy, he's just got PTSD.
Do you have an argument?
anyone who insults Sup Forums is either a goblin mutt, nigger or self hating white soy
i wish this movie was better than it is. such an interesting idea
can't remake it though cause no one will ever play the part like douglas
had a hard time agreeing with him in the china man shop with the coke and the mcdonalds breakfast, but the rest was fine.
nice cult logic
yeah youre mean and dumb lol go away we up in this bitch now it's not yours any more
>I believe in racial diversity despite zero evidence
>attack anyone who goes against it
Seems like you're projecting lad.
he did nothing wrong though
Or maybe they hate the fact that it has become the biggest reddit colony on this site ever since the election
The one big mistake I think the movie makes is that is makes clear his marriage failed because of anger issues. The whole time you're watching, you're trying to figure out whether to root for this guy or hope he finally is stopped, and when you find out he's hurt people before with what must be routine instability you lose all interest for his mission. When he asks, "I'm the bad guy?" in disbelief that should be the audience asking too, but it isn't.

That was the exact intent of the jews that made it, user. Good goy.
Amen. I remember feeling let down during that reveal. The ambiguity is what made it fun to ride along with Michael Douglas.
>when you find out he's hurt people
That's not very clear though
His wife says he never hurt her, just that she was scared.
>Collateral
OP here and yeah after reading reviews and just from the movie itself, the guy was definitely lefty and wanted to make a movie about how the old status quo needs to adapt, but he didn't make it so he had to adapt to some great diverse feminist utopia. He showed how LA is diverse but still fucking crazy and fucked up.
My dad's name was Bill and my mom left him when I was incredibly young. He didn't go nuts but he died of cancer so that aspect of the movie really hits.
Crazy how socal is basically fragmented into small racial sections. You got whites in beach cities, blacks in Compton Mexicans in South LA, Asians in OC,
My problem with it is that at first the movie tries to portray Michael Douglas as someone who is lashing out very violently at normal people, when it seems like it's society at large which has screwed him over. In the beginning of the movie it isn't an actual human being who sets him off the edge, it's all the hustle and bustle that just comes with living in the world he lives in. Douglas is a total blank slate - he could be someone you know in real life, even yourself, who's unsatisfied with the way the country has turned. But when the movie says, "Oh, he always was aggressive" you lose that tether and he just becomes another nut with a gun.
Now on the other hand you can say that his wife was scared because she sensed that Douglas was a ticking time bomb, like anyone who finds a reason to hate 'the man' might be, but that still is at the cost of a viewer seeing himself in Douglas's shoes. "Oh, he wasn't a normal guy like me, he was always angry and now he's angrier than usual."
Nah man, he's definitely crazy. Did you watch the movie? He was waving a gun around in his daughter's face, he was completely disconnected from reality.
And yeah mass immigration has destroyed LA. Anyone that thinks otherwise and lives out here is fucking retarded.
So butthurt over a loan. Go somewhere else man god damn
The good guy is an old white dude though.
not everyone is a 90's born queer still living at home waiting for mom to cook dinner.
I mean he scares the shit out of innocent people with a gun and makes them scared for their lives. If you don't think he had issues at that point.. yeah idk. I agree it was fun not knowing, but I think the pacing was fine. You don't realize he's actually crazy until pretty far in
d-fens and prendegast were both shit on by life they just took it in different ways.
You're right the only option is to stand outside of the loan place with a sign like a psycho.
Yes I'm clearly the weird outcast, ok.
>t. economically viable
>at normal people
He was lashing out against normal cunts
yeah fuck that little kid and old lady eating their hamburgers what pieces of shit.
Don't be a retard
Why do you think the reviews were somewhat negative at the time? It's like the all begrudgingly admit it's a well made movie but find it's (accurate) portrayal of LA's diversity objectionable. I guess stick in a neo nazi character that even the disgruntled protagonist objects to allowed them to offset that somewhat.
you think that was the only place he went to? you're like a baby bird who hasn't left the nest yet. it's easy to be a smug little cunt when someone else is feeding you and paying for your existence.
know a lot about bird law, faggot?
Twice now you've brought up that I live at home, and I don't, so, what the fuck is wrong with you man? Did you like just move out? It's ok to feel incompetent and mis home, just chill out.
You're acting like an actual crazy person.
chirp chirp chirp
>implying he was lashing out against them
WHAT TEH FUCK DID YOU SEAY YO UFUCKING PIECE OF SHIT FAGGOT FUCK YOU IM NOT A BIRB
yes, but he scared them and made them fear for their lives. It shows taht he is completely disconnected. The people he was lashing out against were 10000% unaffected by this shit, he scared innocent people.
Please understand man, yes he was fucked over, but come on.
>The people he was lashing out against were 10000% unaffected by this shit
The dead spics and the nazi would disagree
we are talking about a specific scene, try to pay attention dipshit
>picking just one scene to decide what a character is like
Oh and when he tries to kidnap that little girl and her dad
>put good ideas into the mouths of bad guys: the movie
Classic Hollywood jewry.
Here's a clue faggot, if you have to claim you're red pilled you are just regurgitating garbage.
>Whites AREN'T being demographically dispossessed in their own countries! If you believe otherwise you're just falling for propaganda!
lol
>D is a bad guy
