I'm not sure if I mean this seriously but...
How about the Lithgow character in Footloose? Are we really supposed to believe the goal of teenage boys and girls was a little platonic dancing or shouldn't he expect pregnancy to follow shortly thereafter?

Terence Fletcher in Whiplash.
Top 5 favorite movie for me and I agree. He's certainly a psychopath and very unlikable, but I agree.
My main point in arguing that is those kids weren't forced to be in his ensemble. He was the guy you choose to take that abuse from to become the best.
You didn't even have to leave the school, just his ensemble. They're adults making that choice. It's like working for a 3 star Michelin chef. They're psychos, but you choose to do it because it makes you great.
Great fricking movie.

Bill the Butcher was absolutely right. Dead on completely correct.
Jessup is ok but a truly great officer would've pulled his team together to properly or improperly get rid of the malcontent and covered their tracks. Instead he burned two perfectly good Marines.
Law Abiding Citizen was dead right as well.
Basically, if we had men like Bill and the dude from Law Abiding Citizen in real life our country would be in far better shape.

Had to look up the character name, but William Foster (Michael Douglas) in Falling Down gets more and more reasonable as I get older.
I took a break studying for finals in college to go watch Falling Down with friends. Under that stress, William Foster did not seem unreasonable at all.

Leaving his own man to die? He flat out tried to murder him by shooting him. Don't know why any idiots would upvote this.

Yep, I was just coming to post this. Fantastic movie.

No way. One of Lennon's big things that he never changed over time was telling the older generation that just because they had to live through the war didn't mean the younger generation needed to be punished for it. He very much intentionally rebelled against it.
Just watched the scene, the Beatles were being total wankers there. Dude should have beat their asses.

William Foster in Falling Down

His methods were quite extreme (to say the least) but John Doe wasn’t wrong that his victims were not “innocent.” He also wasn’t a hypocrite by recognizing his own sin of Envy and willingly including his death in his scheme.
Incidentally, I’ve often wondered how Mills’ future would have played out after the events of Se7en. I wonder how hard the law would have hit him in the aftermath. His crime was similar to that of Gary Plauche, who didn’t serve any prison time for killing Jeffrey Doucet, just more extreme circumstances and being a LEO. I wonder if John Doe merely wanted Mills to suffer loss and embody Wrath (instead of being killed outright like all the other victims) or if he was counting on Mills inevitably taking his own life due to an inability to cope with the situation. Doe would have painfully provoked and tormented him as a ghost in his mind for as long as he lived - perhaps until Mills’ sin of Wrath was turned against himself, which was Doe’s modus operandi throughout the film.
Such a great film.

I just can't agree with this, no matter how correct you might be.
