    Falling Down takes place in the 1990’s but feels like a very 1970’s movie.

        There is also a difference in theming.

        The inner city as a dangerous place of crime for white suburbanites stopped being used as a trope in the 90’s while it is on display here.

        The study of a broken man in the process of snapping also feels a lot like movies like Taxi Driver.

        I also feel like certain locations and the dress of the main character is made to evoke older times.
