Excellent movie analysis

By Heraclitus

The Unapologetic Mexican has an extremely careful and insightful (and also rather long) post analyzing the movie Falling Down. Nezua uncovers or highlights all of the racist, misogynist, and homophobic elements of the film, most of which are presented rather subtly. It's of interest not only because of its excellent analysis of this particular movie but, of course, because of how it begins to alert you to the subtle social and political messages in movies, especially mainstream movies, where there are plenty of little reactionary digs and prompts slipped in quickly.
