  from "real life" argued.
  I will, however, watch it again to see if you have a point. I certainly don't remember there being a way out. Besides, the guy was an opera lover, not Rambo.

    ...is taken. And it's ironic to me that this film violates the point. That's why I object to it. It is not "realistic". If it were more Rambo-ish it might be more tolerable.
    
    When you see it again imagine yourself - a smart, capable, improvisatory person - in that precise situation. See how many opportunities there are to stand against these coward-bullies. To shortcut the situation before it deteriorates too far.
    
    Are these people truly sheep to be played with at length, as portrayed, before overt danger set in? Polite, submissive unto death?
    
    You don't have to be a "commando" to defend yourself. You just have to have good and decisive judgement.
    
    I repeat, I like Haneke. The Piano Teacher is remarkable. The same for Benny's Video. The Castle, Code Unknown, The Seventh Continent.....these are memorable and real for their various and different reasons.
    
    Funny Games doesn't measure up in the same way for me.
    
    I'll watch it again as an exercise and see if it can redeem itself.
