hahaha true no? well i gotta be honest with u... in some ways i am like Walter too... i am way too nice and i like to cool the situation every single time i can.. but when i can't.. i feel like i want to kill someone.. and another thing is.. i can't take advice from people too much... best thing to do is go for a walk and talk by yourself.. you will be right all the time hahahaha

Great call with the Walter White comparison! I totally see what you mean about the central character being.... well, mean! Maybe the alternate title for this film should be Making Mad.

Boy, Marian -- right on the mark with the Walter White comparison! Great call! I totally see what you mean about the central character being.... well, mean! Maybe the alternate title for this film should be Making Mad!

exactly! those characters couldn't exist if they didn't had any influence from the real world... few years back.. a taxi driver who was silent.. more like an introverted person.. was mocked by other taxi drivers that worked for the same company.. this happened in UK.. for too long those drivers made fun of this guy.. and one day he came to work with a different agenda.. he carried a hand gun ready to burst.. when those guys started joking about him.. he killed all of them.. 11 if i am not mistaken.. gotta check the facts again.. and then killed himself again.. the Queen announced mourning day that day... everyone was shocked.. but i wasn't.. i know how those people operate.. a silent person cannot get rid of stress like a talkative or social person does.. so by holding in.. one day the hell will break lose

Interesting you mentioned Taxi Driver and Breaking Bad in your review. Many good movies have disillusioned and disaffected antagonists who snap or act out that we can sort of relate but not fully support. There is usually some kind of mental breakdown involved but definitely anger, rage and difficulty coping with stress and change. I think Joker and Fight Club are other good examples of this genre.
