The thing I always get mad at it is people never examine the fact he’s a part of the defense industry. Yes he’s a hardworking Joe who wants to just be with his family but the dudes job is literally building the infrastructure to make other hardworking Joes in some far away land unable to do the same. I agree with/empathize/understand a few parts of the movie but I have never liked the fact the dude doesn’t seem to understand his job is apart of the system he loathes. The movies does a good job of making a CHUD a somewhat reasonable man with somewhat reasonable frustrations with the world. Even his portrayal of directing his rage and ire at the wrong targets makes sense (sadly a rather real thing), I yearn for a movie that has a the courage to go beyond that.
Movies like this are always SOOOOO close to understanding and portraying real power structures but always flake in the narrative and the seeds of liberalism brake the underlying soil of the film and bloom with the bitter fruit of individualism. He’s a bad guy, the system is fine. I hate that shit
