Comment on If the movie Falling Down with Michael Douglas was made today in these times would it be too meta on the current society? Or would it be seen as trying to push an agenda?

Didn’t he snap because he was in traffic to work and his AC broke, and then at a corner store, the clerk wouldn’t give him change so he could use a payphone? The McDonald scene is iconic, but by that part, he’s already smashed up a convenience store and stolen a gun from a gang, so he was beyond snapped.

so really, the only time he actually faced consequences for flipping out, was when he did it to a large corporation?

  No, it was when he nearly muder-suicided his ex-wife and daughter.
