There is a movie where "The Rock" plays "Chris" who is a special forces person that comes home. I do not like how his "heroism" is applauded by the way the movie is shot. "Chris" walks into a casino and assaults machines in addition to the security officers that beat him and left him for dead. It is as if any retaliation he does is justified, even if it is against people indirectly involved. The owner of the casino was trying to be cool. When Chris smashed the machines and the glass inside, (despite the insurance that woud cover it) he was taking out his frustration in a non constructive way.

Hmmm. The movie shoudl take a less macho route and propose another way of dealing with security guards the police will not convict. The owner, a guy trying to be his friend, seemed reasonable.... Well until later in the movie when he says he can get away with drug dealing.

It was pretty funny how he walks around with a famous stick.

The smashing of other people's property the way they do is not condonable. He is too much of a hothead. People will see this and not see how ridiculous it is. but rather how cool it is. Wonder why there is abuse? Men are shown to be like that. People do things they are exposed to, even if it just starts out as curiosity.

Blooper! 2 scenes next to each other where the casino owner lights his cigarette in different locations! Right before Chris's truck is blown up.

State police should be available to be called in when local enforcement is not enough. Perhaps other local police would be sufficient and be closer in proximity anyway.

Is it better that people become educated? With current American culture without education, I have the impression that abuse rates are high, achievement levels are low, financial literacy is low, since exposure to disciplines that positively impact the community are few- doctors, innovative business owners, engineers, inventors (probably the most for the community not including teachers, which are extremely important as well. I would be a teacher if they would compensate me better and allow me to continue doing things to benefit the world, like innovate, improve product processes, etc. The salary for teachers is low, it does not attract people like me who would shape children differently than some of the teachers I think are teaching kids.

I wonder if fewer people would sell drugs if they thought it was less profitable than they currently perceive it. I'd consider doing things like police investigator if the pay and benefits were better and the people I was working with were on a higher plane of thinking than my current perception of them.
