Bill, like Magneto and Dawn Bellwether, is a hypocrite. But I still genuinely believe that Natural Law is The People's weapon. If The People can't "take 'the law' into our hands," as certain law-mongering submissive conformists tend to phrase it, then does "the law" even serve The People's interests? If not, then whose interests does "the law" serve? If "the law" doesn't serve The People's Will, then maybe revolutionary vigilantism truly is the only path toward liberation. 4:26 You can't seriously blame Bill for that. That was entirely the decision of those criminal parasites. They could have cut their losses and moved on, but they had to have the last word. 4:32 The Neville Chamberlain ethos of appeasement never works IRL. Letting bullies, criminals, and tyrants have their way only hastens the destruction of civilization. Appeasement, defeatism, and fatalism enable the bully to become a criminal, and enable the criminal to become a dictator. Appeasement, defeatism, and fatalism are treason against civilization, against liberty, and against the ideals of the Enlightenment. 4:40 Again, not Bill's fault. We could argue that maybe Bill should have killed both of those predatory parasites on their precious piece-of-shit hill, but you know what they say. "Hindsight's always 20/20" (spoken in Dave Mustaine voice). 4:48 I call malarkey on that. You're buying into a pro-criminal leftist narrative. Right now - in our world, our timeline - we're witnessing the failure of pro-criminal leftist legalism. If vigilantism was the law of the land, as it should be, then we'd have solved most of our major problems by now. 4:59 That scene shows Bill's hypocrisy. Real vigilantism is a response to violent crime and/or corrupt government (which are, more often than not, in cahoots with each other or are part of the same Leviathan apparatus). 5:17 See?! A real vigilante wouldn't use an ultra-Bubba'd TEC-9 (which is ghetto trash even w/o the Bubba modifications). In the remake of Red Dawn (which is actually not bad, though not as good as the OG), when the Wolverines are first starting out as guerrilla fighters, they use TEC-9s, but quickly ditch them in favor of AKs and such. A guerrilla fighter is similar to a vigilante. Both represent a People's concept of justice. 5:36 He has a legit point there, but there are more constructive ways to resist corporate corruption. Like Project Mayhem. 5:49 Why'd you change the way you pronounce "vigilantism" throughout this video? You started off saying it right ("VIJ-il-ANT-ism"). Then you started saying it wrong ("VIG-il-ONT-ee-ism"). 6:57 We need people like that. Pattons, Eisenhowers, Churchills. We don't need any more Neville Chamberlains. They're the ones who enable the Hitlers of the world. Speaking of whom, notice how Bill says to Nick that he's "not a vigilante." Nick's pro-vigilante stance is hypocritical because, being a neo-fash, he's already a prime target for assassination. 7:53 Well, that's certainly true. But good deserves to be defended, doesn't it. So let's assume that Bill isn't an exemplar of the pro-justice ideal. Let's use better examples, like Undyne from Undertale, Wolfwood from Trigun, Tackleberry from Police Academy, and Walter from 'The Big Lebowski'. 8:54 See?! Mindless acceptance of the status quo is the problem, not the solution. George Carlin was right. Obedience isn't a virtue. It's cowardice. 9:03 That's because Hollywood is infested with leftist pinkos who represent right-hand-path collectivist slave morality. Don't get me wrong. This is still Joel Schumacher's best work. But its anti-vigilante message is counterrevolutionary. I say: Empower the individual! That would be a true Revolution! 9:21 No one who praises this brilliant film thinks Bill is worthy of emulation. Hypocrisy is the root of his particular form of villainy, but he's still less of a villain than neo-fashies, gang minions, the political apparatus that enables such, and all other manner of predatory parasites.
“When tyranny becomes law rebellion becomes duty.” Rebellion doesn’t always mean terrorism or guerrilla warfare. A rebellion has two main ways of playing out: violence (terrorism, guerilla warfare, or sabotage) or peaceful (civil resistance, civil disobedience and protest). The people’s interests do matter. The way(s) the people should combat it is different depending on the circumstances. 4:26 Yes a bit of the blame is on Bill. As I stated “he’s indirectly responsible” rather than saying it was outright his fault. He agitated a gang that had a lust for vengeance. This provoking caused them to do a drive by shooting during the daytime; which seemed to be what the gang normally wouldn’t do. You can hear the voice of opposition from Angie in the car. Her opposition implies that drive bys don’t usually occur in the daytime when they are going to hurt or kill more people. 4:32 You are correct that appeasement usually fails especially in the Neville Chamberlin case. However if Bill gave into their demands they would’ve let him go. They would not have chased him down and caused further destruction to society. He is also on their turf. It’s a deeply layered problem here. The gang clearly didn’t put up a proper message. However most people living in that area know what parts to keep away from aka gangland territory. 4:40 Hindsight is 20/20. Think of a hornet’s nest. The hornets usually are going to keep to themselves and just defend what’s theirs. If someone threatens their turf by either attacking or getting too close they will become more aggressive then they normally are. They intend to attack back and likely pursue their target depending on how aggressive they are and what their target has done. 4:48 The fact is that the gangsters destroyed windows and harmed people in this interaction. I need further details on what you are considering malarkey in this case. Vigilantism is not the law of the land as we just can’t have people deciding what is lawful; when often times they are acting on their own principles instead of what is lawful. Vigilantism is illegal. Arguably most vigilantism is retribution as justice can sometimes be considered subjective. 4:59 Anger, fear and acting on vengeance is what drives vigilantes. Both Bill Foster and the gang fall into this. Bill clearly is angered by the gang for attempting to murder him, so he acts on vengeance to in a way “get even” when he shoots the guy in the leg. The gang member was already hurt by the car crash and appeared incapable of continuing on without medical attention. 5:17 It doesn’t matter the weapons one uses, this is still acting out justice without legal authority by a person or group (vigilantism definition). Both a guerrilla fighter and a vigilante are domestic terrorists. You are right on that both act on seeking justice, but they still cause the destabilization of society. 5:36 He does cause terror on civilians because he is fed up with a world that he cannot adapt to and has a culture shock to. He died after his project mayhem. His name is William Foster! HIS NAME is WILLIAM FOSTER! 5:49 I figured that my first pronunciation was incorrect by the google and a “irritating leftist.” If you search up vigilantism, it’s the second pronunciation I use that comes up. Both could be correct I guess. I kept the first pronunciation in because I thought it would be something worthy of laughing at. 6:57 Not every problem you encounter should be solved the same way. Sometimes confrontation is needed and sometimes it’s better to walk away than engaging with the situation. Better yet there are still ways of solving an issue but in different ways (avoiding, nonviolent vs violent, etc.). For Hitler, war was inevitable and Chamberlin’s strategy was stupid. Most wars should be avoided but sometimes (like WW2) they can’t be avoided. Nick approves of Bill’s vigilantism as Nick believes it is motivated by racism and will bring America back to time where racism and sexism are more accepted by society. True in an accepted vigilantism world anybody could be killed because that would be considered lawful. 7:53 If you are complimenting my work than thank you. Yes good deserves to be defended, it’s just how we go about defending it and if there’s a consensus on the good we are defending. I don’t know,I would have to brush up on those characters. I honestly can’t argue for or against those characters as I don’t know them. 8:54 Yes being unaware of issues and blindly following leaders is a problem. Anyone can change society but not everyone wants to change society. The point I was making is that some people who go into the Whammy burger are okay with the false advertising and unnatural behavior from the manager aka the services provided. 9:03 There are plenty of criticisms of modern movies I guess you could say. I don’t believe it is particularly leftists but I can see your point. I haven’t seen Lost Boys or Phone Booth, but I likely won’t enjoy them as much as Falling Down. 9:21 Some people definitely romanticize and/or idolize this character. Some of UA-cam reviewers that covered this film were not as critical as they probably should have been. Some dismissed the frustrations of Bill too. Both I took issue with. You stated some good eye opening and thoughtful sentences here. Thank you.

@@Adam1Gee I highly recommend the original Red Dawn. It's an ornery movie directed by John Milius, who was notorious for being ornery. And it's about guerrilla fighters.
denouncing those willing to act on their own, without permission, moral, legal, or otherwise, is the last resort of the statist coward. most of society outside of metropolises and throughout most of history, in fact, operated on something more akin to vigilantism than anything resembling the bureaucracy we have today. the fact that capital punishment has become a defacto life sentence is a symptom of this inefficiency and waste.
Vigilantism may be bad but sometimes the police and courts don't fix the problem. Of course we can't have people taking the law into their own hands because we'll have complete chaos. These days in America a lot of people don't trust their public servants. I think this is reflected in our popular culture.
Ha ha yes he has aspects of the average person. His struggles are relatable as we all have experienced annoying people, traffic jams, inflation, poorly advertised products and the feeling of without a purpose. His social isolation and lack of purpose fits the criteria of the other “literally me” characters. He is different in many ways too. Most people don’t commit acts of domestic terrorism, resort to violence if they do get their way, having an unbearable temper and generally don’t treat other people badly. His problem solving is never justified with what he experiences. Martin Prendergast is a much better person to relate to and celebrate his actions. Bill Foster’s actions shouldn’t be celebrated.
He was too early. If he had started his campaign within the last 10 years and went after Oil execs and people like Elon Musk i think his direct action would have been much more effective.....and im definitely on a watch list now.
Blackpilled does a better video on this film. Its a film about the displacement of men as a whole. Not just white men. The effects of neoliberalism, capitalism or whatever ism youd like to point your finger at is entirely up to you. But i believe this film is one many men, of all ages and backgrounds can relate to. At least if you live somewhere the the western "free" world. Fight club too.
I don’t disagree with you that his video is better than mine (in terms of narration and editing) and about the displacement of men. However he can’t separate the film from the character. He views the movie through his own world view (BlackPilled ideas and beliefs); instead of what the film actually is (more at the end). He called the film propaganda and how the film blames Mr. Lee for price hikes. That’s what Bill does, not the film. It’s subtly implied that inflation has increased prices and business hasn’t gone well since his store is fully stocked. I mentioned this in my analysis here. Black Pilled falsely stated that we don’t learn the details of Bill Foster’s marriage separation. In the home movies he yells at his wife to force his crying daughter onto a rocking horse. He tried to control both of them, it’s emotional abuse and his temper that caused his wife to divorce him. These are perfectly legitimate reasons to divorce somebody and place a restraining order against him. She isn’t afraid of his toxic masculinity as Black Pilled says. She is fearful of his lack of awareness with how he treats other people and his anger. He also claimed Martin Prendergast’s maleness isn’t needed in the world of Falling Down when it’s Prendergast stops a criminal from damaging society further. He does get the mockery of Mr. Lee right. It doesn’t make sense how Mr. Lee knows the color white but no other colors. The surplus store scene with the Neo-Nazi represents how hateful groups approve of Bill Foster’s vigilantism as it is destabilizing and hurting society. Bill Foster reasons he is not apart of the hateful groups, while seems to be not empathetic towards some of the minorities he interacts with in the film. At best he is not empathetic to minorities and at worst he is a person hateful of minorities. Even the screen writer said he wrote Bill with the idea of him being a racist. Black Pilled also gets wrong that Beth (Bill’s ex wife) doesn’t postpone the birthday party. She does after Martin Prendergast says she should. She didn’t recognize how far off the rails Bill was that he would attempt to kill them both. She likely figured his phone calls were empty threats. She is scared of the man she used to be married to. Foster won’t be forgotten by Martin, Beth or Adele as they were all impacted by him. It is because of Bill Foster’s rampage Martin stays on the police force because he realizes he can still make a difference to society. He is able to piece together the story of Bill. Also Martin is able figure out who Bill is when he talks to Bill’s mother. Martin learns to not comply with people disrespecting him. He establishes the kind of boundaries and behaviors he will tolerate from his wife. He learns how to communicate with his police captain to earn his respect. The film presents the some of the societal problems and how we shouldn’t react or try to solve by. Beth and Adele will remember Bill however not fondly. They will still have memories of them all together, the home movies and the photographs. Martin Prendergast is someone the disenfranchised American man is meant to empathize and cheer for. Bill Foster is empathetic but his actions are overwhelmingly violent towards members of society. He is a villain and his violent actions are deplorable. Black Pilled’s main problem is that he views the film through his own lenses (or worldview) and used parts to try to emphasize that. He doesn’t view the movie for what it is. The film is a complex analysis on some of the issues of a changing society, the treatment of others, how easily your life can fall apart, and how the two main ways of responding to problems/change. The film has many messages and most of what people have speculated are valid. Thanks for your comment and putting my mind to work on why I didn’t like his video.
Shouldn't celebrate his actions but I do I get where he's coming from. It would help him if he got some psychiatric help, he's clearly off the deep end and not having those he loved in his life only made it worse. Instead he became a One Man Army, and not in a good way.
That is precisely my point and thoughts as well. On UA-cam many analyzers didn’t focus on how important friends and family were to keeping his life stable. Thank you for commenting.
