It wasn't funny looking at the early life section of this actor.
No surprise. Falling Down has some cool moments, but it's a stupid anti-white strawman of a movie if you really analyze it.
The entire purpose of the movie is meant to be a take down of the very thing that makes it so popular in the first place, and it makes that quite clear a few times what it is trying to do. Its just Starship Troopers with less camp.
And like both of those movies, taking the "wrong message" from it like that makes the creators seethe, so I will keep doing so for that reason alone and taking my inspirations/memes from it as a side benefit.
In the case of Starship Troopers, you'd be taking the right message-- the one the book's author intended.
I think the jingoistic/militaristic, "I say kill em all!" message most of us enjoy from the movie is not exactly consistent with the novel's philosophical views on society. Certainly in the same ballpark, but not likely the intent.
