Falling Down/崩溃

Almost every man may experience a midlife crisis, but not all of them would go out smoothly. Even "The Incredibles" just referred the midlife crisis as kind of a background information. The midlife crisis of the leading hero of the movie was fatal: unemployment, financial stress, divorce, discord with his ex-wife, no communication with his family (mother), easy irritability, all of these made up an explosive package and ignited in a hot afternoon. Once the long-repressed emotion broke out, it would be so difficult to end it peacefully.

几乎每个男人可能会遇到中年危机，但不是每一个人都走得出来。哪怕是《超人总动员》，也只是用轻描淡写地把中年危机作为背景略加提及。而本片中的男主人公，他遇到的中年危机就是致命的：失业，财务压力，离婚，和前妻不和，和家里人（母亲）没有沟通，容易脾气暴躁，这一切，就像一个炸药桶一样都在一个炎热的午后被点燃了，压抑良久的情绪一旦爆发就很难收场了。
