      Honestly not that hard... If you look at Human nature individually. Why socialism was a sortof solution but it becomes a lot worse then capitalism. Because the same people trying to monopolize the world through capitalism would have it 10 times easier if it was communism... The only solution is to be governed by AI. Because even good solutions end up as bad once you force them. Why Capitalism sortof works. But when it works it works so well Humans might not even have 100 more years before the planet becomes unliveable you need to get mad.

      During Feudalism there was a point when people stop believing Kings were rulers because everyone swore fealty to them and the reverse became true; people swore fealty to kings because they were rulers.

I think he sees it as a guy who hasnt gotten a good deal for far too long, but his only concern is how to make that idea pay off for the rich people who have paid a lot of investment money. thats his only problem, he only cares about the kind of people who are investors to companys, trump doesnt care about the real americans, the people worrying and taxing and paying. he cares about the kind of people who will give him percentages.

    The problem with getting mad is that it's become too easy to be desensitized towards the malice, depravity, and sorrow in the world. And when you numb up like that, how can you get mad? Perhaps realizing the loss of feeling is a start.

    Saw this one a plane in 1976 (that was back when the cabin lights dimmed, the big screen came down, and everybody watched the same film. It was a movie theater in the sky!). This movie's really amazing -- it accurately prophesied the onset of reality TV 25 years before it happened, and the inevitable future of television - bleak as it is.

In the end we shall make thought-crime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed will be expressed by eactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. . . . The process will still be continuing long after you and I are dead. Every year fewer and fewer words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller. Even now, of course, there's no reason or excuse for commiting thought-crime. It's merely a question of self-discipline, reality-control. But in the end there won't be any need even for that. . . . Has it ever occcured to you, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?.....The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect.” ― George Orwell, 1984

Hell it would even fit into the mindset of coronacritics, gendercritics and, to sum it up it would generally fit anyone who has a strong sense against anything happening because over all it is just agitation.
      Though specifically you could frame it around anticapitalism concerning industry (air unfit to breath) and (fast) food industry (food unfit to eat) as well as of course economic crisis and the precarity it means for lower classes.
      I do not know the context of the film, but Id like me a rather marxist reading of this.

    One of the greatest moments in cinematic history and a touchstone for the modern zeitgeist... in 1976... almost 50 years ago. Damnit, we're still MAD AS HELL AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!

      "A slave that understands his position and struggles against is a revolutionary. A slave that doesn’t understand that he is enslaved and vegetates in silent, unconscious and speechless life, is just a slave. A slave that salivates when complacently describing delights of slave life and that is enraptured by good and kind master is a cad, a serf."

      Was it fair? ABSOLUTELY!!
      No sympathy for them. No sympathy for the clowns of the circus when they been overcome by the freaks of the show.
      Not only they chose to be part of it but they continue to.
      They should quit. ALL OF THEM!! But, you see, hunting of fame and money is more precious than dignity and self-respect.
      No sympathy for the slave who acknowledge the authority of Uncle Tom, when is beaten by him.
      It isn't an issue of muscular inequality, it's a matter of power applied by those who posses it, to those who don't.

    One of the great scenes , from one of the great films , from a great actor, Peter Finch , playing one his finest roles ( and there were many ) and a great director , Sidney Lumet, with even a great supporting cast ! No wonder it is still remembered , and more importantly , its message is even more relevent today .
