Falling Down (1993)

4/5 (Actual Newsweek Cover from 1993)
first time viewing

From Wikipedia (sourced):

Quote:

Contextually, Falling Down was released in theaters less than one year after the 1992 Los Angeles riots, In them, the targeting of Korean-Americans and their businesses by rioters was a point of fact. The Korean American Coalition and Korean Grocers Association protested the film for its treatment of minorities, especially the Korean grocer. Warner Brothers Korea canceled the release of Falling Down in South Korea following boycott threats. The outcry by the Grocers Association in particular was sufficient to see Michael Douglas meet with members at Warner Brothers Studio because they "were there and they were pissed. So we had a conversation and I told them, ‘Look, I’m very sorry, but there’s a reason the screenwriter picked certain things to put in the film.'"

Unemployed defense workers were also angered at their portrayal in the film. Falling Down has been described as a definitive exploration of the notion of the "angry white male"; the character of D‑FENS was featured on magazine covers, including the March 29, 1993 issue of Newsweek magazine, and reported upon as an embodiment of the stereotype.

Cynthia Hurley, the former wife of Craig Stephen Hicks (the accused in the 2015 Chapel Hill shooting) confirmed that Hicks's favorite film was Falling Down. "That always freaked me out. (Craig) watched it incessantly. He thought it was hilarious. He had no compassion at all," she told the Associated Press in February 2015, just after the shooting that was allegedly committed by Hicks.

In preparation for Alien Covenant tomorrow, (re)watched Prometheus as my "film starring/directed by a sibling/relative of a famous actor/director (Ridley Scott, brother of Tony Scott). Hey, nobody said they couldn't also be famous themselves!

That closed out my latest five:

Well, shoot, I haven't been keeping up with my postings. So here's everything I've seen over the past 20 days or so. Only 8 of the films matched the scavenger hunt thing--will have to look up some more stuff to see what's left. Doubt I'll accomplish it in time though.
