Lawrence Houck

Great film. Just to be clear, however, this man wasn't "pushed to his breaking point." He actually had a pretty good life by most people's standards - including his own. He often said he had a good life. He also had the opportunity to sell his property for much more than he paid for it only a few years before and decided not to out of spite. The truth, which makes the story far more interesting and timely, is that this is a story of a man who didn't get everything he wanted when he wanted it and threw a giant-sized temper tantrum that almost cost people their lives. This is not a story of a hero rebelling against the system. It's a case of toxic individuality and privilege run amok. In other words, it's a perfect cautionary tale for the times in which we live.
