..........Falling Down.....

Have you ever thought why people fall down? Absolutely, there are many reasons, but the most important one is breaking down the mental of people. In such instances, these people have a tendency to do violence and not to obey the rules. Sometimes, as a consequence of their environment or living area, they face discrimination and they accepted like criminal and guilty person. We can come .......
cross with these people in our lives or we can see them in movies. The movie called “Falling Down” deals with this problem as a subject, and there is a man -D-fens- who experiences mental breakdown in the film. In my opinion, there are many reasons why the man -D-fens- has a mental breakdown...
(unemployed defence engineer William Foster (played by Michael Douglas)

First of all, the world around him is unfair, and he can’t accept inequity; therefore, he show his violent face which is the effect of mental breakdown. There are several incident about inequity in the movie. For example, in the market, the Korean man does not have any intention to give change to him. Because of this, he show his anger:he hits the Korean shop owner, breaks up his shop with the base ball bat, and at the end of the scene, he pays the cost of coke supposing that he does not damage to anything in the shop. From these behaviour, we can understand that he is imbalanced and impatient. Also, he doesn’t like the citizens of other countries. Second example is that, in the golf area, the old golfer said that “Miserable and poor man can not go into the golf field.” Actually, he said this sentence to D-fens. Therefore, he shows his anger again:he draws his gun and threatens the old golfer. As we can see from two examples, mental breakdown of D-fens is the result of his circumference. He behaves so rude and violent that it shows “the Falling Down of one person”. In brief, in this paragraph, we see that the first reason why D-fens’s mental brake down is the inequity and injustice in his environment.

In addition, according to him, the system which takes place in government, restaurants, construction industry is not appropriate one. In his walk to the family house, he comes across with many people who represent the improper system. For example, in a fast food restaurant, the restaurant’s owner do not have wish to give breakfast although three minutes passed the breakfast time. D-fens insists on giving him a breakfast, but the manager don’t care. Then he shows his violent face again, and he shoots the ceiling of the restaurant. This example shows that a person, whose mental was broken down, always objects something around him/her since he/she can’t control his feelings and reaction. Interestingly, in this scene, we can understand that he only want to harm his target, not to other innocent people. For instance, he do not want to hurt the consumers in the restaurant because his target is the system of the fast food restaurant. The second example is the wealth of a plastic surgeon. D-fens wonders how the plastic surgeon can make a fortune like that. He says that he had worked for many years, but he has nothing now. Maybe, this injustice made his mental brake down. In brief, in this paragraph, we see that the second reason why D-fens’s mental brake down is the unfair system around him.

Finally, his unsuccessful business career and marriage may be the reason why he is experiencing mental breakdown. First, his marriage was ruined because of his imbalanced behaviour. We couldn’t know why he seperated precisely, but it may be frustration and be driven to violence by the inherent irritations of everyday life..........CONTINUED in comment section...

FAVOURITE QUOTES

Some of Foster's put downs of the very annoying people he meets - particularly at 'Whammy Burgers' - are the sort of things as consumers we'd all like to be able to say when we feel a sense of injustice, if only we had the courage.

Right near the end of the movie, Prendergast finally confronts Foster, and the following conversation takes place.

Prendergast: 'Let's meet a couple of police officers. They are all good guys'.
Foster: 'I'm the bad guy?'
Prendergast: 'Yeah'.
Foster: 'How did that happen?'

The brief exchange encapsulates the utter confusion Foster now feels about his life. He always thought he was a good guy who worked hard, had family values, and paid his taxes on time. Somehow he finds he's now turned into the bad guy.thumbs up

Good movie! thumbs up
