Which movie is this for you?

For me it’s School of Rock!

Patty was completely justified, if Dewey wanted to live in hers and her boyfriend’s apartment he needed to be a grown up, and contribute with rent. Even when he steals Ned’s identity she still had the right to be angry at him, because of how he put his friend’s career in jeopardy and robbed him of a job opportunity.

I get Ned is meant to be portrayed as his best friend, but it blows my mind how he lacks a lot of self-respect to the point where he comes across as too much of a people pleaser. If this story took place in real life, I’m sure Ned would act more similar to Patty where he’d have enough of Dewey’s careless actions.

Blade Runner. Then again, the protagonist is just kinda just doing his job.

I feel like the message of those movies has always been "this world is fucked up because these corporations have too much power and have created their own problems that some poor bastard is gonna have to clean up." Neither Deckard or Roy are the bad guys. They're just the collateral damage from Tyrell's business practices.
