So the kid had something unfair done to him... wow... that's the reason to live like a pig?
In the society where everything bad that happens to you is always someone else's fault such a message of course resonates strongly.

The film, quite simply, is about revenge, unfortutunately one of our most primitive instincts.
If you think this is about one man and one incident I suggest you study up on the French treatment of the Algerians.

  Well... they certainly lived poorly, but they never developed the victimhood complex simply because half of their country was burnt down and untold numbers of them machine gunned into ravines by the Germans.
  All that stuff about past collective crimes is something interesting from historical perspective, but has nothing at all to do with the individual lives.

      You are looking for victimhood in the whoge neignborhood, buddy.
      Show me a Jew who lived like a pig because of the Holocaust. They go and become Nobel Prize winners instead.
      Your victim mentality is plain silly. Instead of giving those who promote it pat and blessing, you should object to it.
