“There are some basic, fundamental rules to life and personal relationships- and that the poised will someday be victorious over the tacky heathens of the world!”
I don’t disagree with the point of this film, but really, it’s a hoot! I especially liked the “well rounded personality.” However, the main character just impressed me as a kid with testosterone poisoning or maybe just a jerk in training. Teaching self-restraint needs to start pretty young or it won’t “stick,” and studies demonstrate that some young children simply have more impulse control than others. Undoubtedly, it would be better if people in general had more self control, but continually repressing anger just leads to people showing up to their last day of work with a shotgun. The solution may well be therapy to deal with why someone is so full of anger instead of some solution based upon “self control.”
