One of the main reasons she was cheating on him, is because he was being a beta cunt. She was telling him what to do and was obeying like a bitch. As we all know by now, that’s a kryptonite to a wet pussy. She d never wanna fuck you again.

I was at the end of my marriage when that film came out.

I dressed as the burger flipper for Halloween that year :)

Notice that he's not angry.

He's at peace.

Few guys make it to the top and realize "I was just as happy when I was 17 working at a drive-thru"

Not saying working fast-food is what I want to do, but this dude simplified his life so fast.

It has a fucked up second half but still a great film. I’ll never forgive spacey for ruining the last few seasons of house of cards.

This movie is a must for MGTOW of all ages. I saw it when I was too young to understand, and have re-watched a few times over the years. Lots going on symbolically when it comes to sex and relationships, families, how it's all a lie, etc. Really complex movie. I think it would really benefit any guy to fully understand the subversive elements of the plot going on here, and in other movies such as Bladerunner 2049

The movie changed my life as it exposed that I was the Kevin Spacey character.

In some ways, Spacey became what women do: they gave up all responsibility and earnings and just screw around and do what they want.

Doing a good job and not being rewarded for is such a beta male thing to do. Saying your boss is banging someone inappropriately is such a woman thing to do.

Normally, I would say Spacey is irresponsible/female as he quit his higher paying job, smoked pot, shallowly tried to feel better but he gave up the materialism few women ever do. He was actually striving for something most men think is crazy: being happy.

You think about the fakery and the status of American suburbia: the real estate king having an affair with Spacey's wife, Spacey's wife, the cheerleader, the gay neighbor. The only real guy was the son of the gay neighbor, the hero of the film IMO. He did not need the material but was happy watching a plastic bag twirling in the wind. Still, the hero played his fakery part but at least he knew he was being fake.

Spacey's daughter is us. She is caught between the safety of the fake world of suburbia and the real world of beauty her boyfriend shows us. Fortunately, she goes for the real in the end.

I am most confused by the ending as Spacey's wife hugs her expensive coats in the end. Some have said that in doing so she was hugging them as she missed Spacey. I have a more cynical taste. I saw her hugging the clothes as to say they were important than Spacey ever was.

In fact, Spacey had to die because he threatened the image of the masculine neighbor who was really gay.

The part where the movie could not go was Spacey lusting after a hot young thing and not his wife. The movie could not go to the area it should have: Spacey banging her. Yes, it is normal for men to pursue a hot young thing. He is not perverted but normal. That she as an American girl who is full of shit is normal too, but in reality, she would have fucked him, blackmailed him, and tried to drain the family financially.

The movie changed my life. Instead of being ashamed of my sexuality, instead of being trapped in the fake world, I strived to be happy, to no longer be ashamed of my sexuality. It led to my breaking free of the cuck hold position my ex-wife had me in.

I pursued other women because to me that was normal. But just like Spacey, doing so in the toxic hypocritical swamp that is the USA sex prison, can get you killed. After getting burned by the USA sex prison, I started to play in other countries: where a man can still be a man.

Well, shit?

wokeprince2020 · 2021-05-08T15:18:15+00:00

I think it's something a mgtow man can consume. Am I right?

What we are spring here is a man realizing his potential and releasing the bonds of his enslavement.

That guy must've been crying inside.

Black_Midnite · 2021-05-08T20:12:23+00:00

Yo, as cool as this scene was... this is not MGTOW.

Did y'all forget that he ends up simping for a teenage girl? Pedophile much?

Also, Spacey is a fucking creep. Guy touching on young boys and shit.

Definitely not MGTOW.

(Yikes, keep down voting me, show your true color, guys. As a young guy, maybe MGTOW is definitely not for all men)
