One of my favorite characters and movies. Unfortunately, not allot of people seem to remember this movie :(

Anyways, cool drawing.

Cheers, my man.

The film actually gets alot of appreciation this side of the pond. Lots of pent up anger, I suppose, ha ha.
:iconcitizen17:
This film is brilliant.
Nice drawing, too. D-FENS.

One of, if not my number one, favourites. Cheers for the likage.
:iconcitizen17:
Yep. It could be my number one as well. I never get tired of it. It's so good. It's witty, it's funny and it's tragic all at the same time.

It's really sad because so many times I've watched it and thought that could easily be me or anyone in his shoes. The world just runs off and leaves us standing confused... "I'm the bad guy? How did that happen...?".
:iconcitizen17:
Yeah, I know what you mean. I also feel the guy is right in many ways. Did you notice the panel at some point in the park scene? It says "no matter never mind". That's a brilliant touch. It illustrates what the world is like today. Nobody cares about anything and you can do what you please.

And the guy outside the bank who is deemed "Not economically viable". He's wearing the exact same clothes as D Fens. And the part where the Army and Navy guy asks his to give him his hand and he say's "I'll fall down"... Very ominous. All the references to London Bridge "is falling down, falling down, falling down...". Love it.
:iconcitizen17:
Yep, all you said is true. This movie is so well thought out, it's a shame it wasn't given the proper attention.
Also, notice the kid at the restaurant? He's the only one brave and sincere enough to raise his hand when D Fens asks what's wrong with the picture of the burger.
And then of course the final scene of the video is heartbreaking.

And that kid is wearing horn-rims like D Fens, too.
