It easier to destroy than create. + Show Spoiler + Scarface is just a fun movie. The speech about being the bad guy is fucking great man, undeniably entertaining. It seems like you might hate it because people think it is serious art. On that note, Martin Scorcese is an overrated piece of shit. | ||

Also, LOL jalstar, fight club is an amazing film... great storytelling, an intelligent and provoking plot, it was an instant classic back when it was released and still remains so true and relevant for society today. | ||

I can't take your criticism seriously when you address the plot in such an oversimplified manner. | ||

That was easily the deepest part of the movie, selling mankind (which Durden looks at with scorn) their excesses and waste back to them. The rest of the movie was variations on "corporations r bad lolol" The movie wasn't even about "corporations r bad", it was about humanity, human nature, consumerism, psychology and capitalism. The ending premise of sending financial records back to 0 was about giving man a fresh start, not about corporations. The plot had jungian ideas and explored so much about human nature and consumerism/capitalism, corruption and primitive behaviour. You have a very limited grasp about the plot, maybe you just didn't understand it. I had to study it extensively for my Behavioural Studies course, there is an awful lot more there than what you are giving it credit for. | ||

The "fresh start" is a fresh start from corporations, the idea being that corporations have too much control over our lives and some sort of anarchy would be better. It's the same philosophy espoused by teenagers in black jackets with punk rock band patches. | ||
