My dad was a barber. Years ago, one of his steady customers got his hair cut. The following day the customer committed suicide. In hindsight, my dad is convinced the customer was planning his suicide and wanted a hair cut so he looked good at his own funeral. My dad said the customer never showed a clue he was suicidal during his hair cut. One never knows what is going on in a persons life.

I was 20 (almost 21) when this movie came out and liked it then. Now, I'm almost 50, and see it in a completely different light. After half a century of seeing what a garbage dump life is it isn't just a superficially entertaining movie. The way he looks at it all he wants is an honest job, his wife and kid and to live the American dream and be left alone. Not justifying some of the things he does by any means, but I can understand him. Amazing the way age changes your perspective on things.

That briefcase represents his old life, and what little sanity he has left. That's why he's so unwilling to part with it. He doesn't want to lose his one link to a normal life, where he and his education matters. Later in the film, he gives the briefcase to the guy in the park. That's his way of letting go of his old self, and fully embracing the fact that he's no longer sane.

This scene always leaves me feeling a bit giddy, I grew up on the wrong side of town and had too many confrontations like this. The Michael Douglas character portrays the tension of the situation perfectly. You just can't reason with some people. One of the marker indicators of complete naivety in people is those among us who insist 'always be nice others' as a life strategy to avoid trouble. If you signal an unwillingness to stand your ground people will take advantage of that. That's coming from a guy who's survived two murder attempts, coward punched several times, and set upon by gangs. Nice does not work.

Douglas is simply SUPER. IT is an accomplished American photo play of the highest order with deep analysis of sickness of American society and anatomy of an isolated person rejected by society.

A lot of men can relate to this character. They go to college, get a job, are law obeying citizens just trying to eke out an honest living in today's ridiculously expensive society. They did everything right and everything society tells us we should do and it didn't get them very far. Then they lose what little they did have... their job of 20 years or their wife divorces them and they have to pay child support and only get to see their kids once in awhile while their wife has already moved on to some new guy. Many men have a similar story. Most don't snap like this character but you can easily see how it can get to this point.

I knew a bouncer and pro fighter who told some guy in a bar to stop talking to his girlfriend. The guy said not use that tone with him and asked him if he wanted to fight, not realizing it was literally the only thing that bouncer knew how to do. He fought almost every day for years. So he said, "Sure" in a way that was so matter of fact, I imagine, that the other guy should have paused. Instead, outside, the bouncer dislocated the guy's elbow for him.

@@StephenDoty84 Wow. Sometimes lessons are not fun. My best friend in the mid 80's was in a bar. Two guys were pinching girls butts, and just causing trouble. The bouncer who had a black belt threw them out. They started cussing him, so he started walking toward them. The next thing he knew, he got stabbed in the chest. About 20 guys came out of the bar, including my friend. One of the trouble making guys had a wooden leg, and these 2 grew up in a bad part of town. They were mean, dangerous, and weren't playing around. They turned, and acted like they were leaving, when one of them pulled out a 32 revolver, and started unloading it into the crowd. My friend got shot in the leg, and another got shot in the right shoulder. Everyone started scattering, as he reloaded, and began shooting again. My friend said they were about 25 yards out, and this guy was hitting everything in sight. 3 more guys were hit, one dying later at the hospital. 8 police cars showed up, and cornered them on a hill. Today when I talk to my friend. We both agree. If you can avoid the situation all together, or try and defuse it. Thats your best bet. I realize some are impossible to avoid, but at 56 years old, I've learned most people respond to kindness, and respect quite nice.

@@DieselDog1982 stop sniffing the diesel, it's making you dumber! I'm advocating for the millions who have been disenfranchised by a system designed to steal prosperity. I'm arguing for the homeless millions who have done everything right, worked hard and still found themselves on the street. Unfortunately your assumptions reveal your limited ability to see the problem at hand. It has nothing to do with me, whether I'm a successful, smart, financially stable individual, or an uneducated poor drug addict. That's what we call IRRELEVANT! This is what makes the American situation so difficult - when you point out the systemic problems, the inane reply is always, "Well, then make something of yourself!" Sorry buddy, I'm already financially independent and enjoying the good life. When I was discussing the dire situation with an entitled rich kid, his reply was, "Well, then let's make sure we're the rich ones!" Apparently, sadism is now an American virtue. How much you can make the other suffer is the solution! And you've exhibited it perfectly! Running on the endless hamster wheel is NOT the solution. Working more hours, sucking up to the boss and kissing his ass even more makes you the biggest dupe there is. You advocate doing this so the rich can get richer and laugh at your puritan work ethic.
