Asks him a load of uncomfortable questions?<br /><br />The Korean store owner is asked for change, when D-Fens is told he has to buy something is the price, works out that doesn't give him enough change, and even offers the shopkeeper money for change, which he refuses. How would you feel in that situation?<br /><br />The genius of the film is how D-Fens' reaction to these situations is presented as black comedy, with to some extent, the audience siding with his frustrations about petty shop owners, burger chains and graffiti, but the director then undermines all of this, and you see the truth of him.Tim Almondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13369256383976094670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-83232601795693283872015-03-21T12:21:57.351+00:002015-03-21T12:21:57.351+00:00Never liked Falling Down.

Dfens takes it out on people who are just doing their jobs, like the worker in the clip.<br /><br />Also, he intimidates a Korean shop worker whose life is probably harder than his, complaining that he doesn't speak English when he clearly does.<br /><br />A pretty nasty film I find.Rich Teehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14037296506942507747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-48693690479516906872015-03-21T11:18:43.792+00:002015-03-21T11:18:43.792+00:00splendid.splendid.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.com
