Mein liebster Feind (1996)

Mein liebster Feind: Directed by Steve Miner. With Rick Moranis, Tom Arnold, Julianne Phillips, Carol Kane. A writer returns to his hometown where he faces the childhood nemesis whose life he ultimately ruined, only the bully wants to relive their painful past by torturing him once again.

“I saw this movie and there was no reality to what a bully is really like or how his target is affected (except when it was affecting Davie with his job and life, check out the workplace, it happens) until the end when Davie says u0026quot;I still have nightmares from 4th grade because of what you had done to meu0026quot; to Roscoe, his childhood bully. Adult bullies do not go the route of u0026quot;the polar bear is deadu0026quot; chant. They play divide and conquer among colleagues and not u0026quot;flicking peasu0026quot; in a lunchroom. Much more sophisticated (and psychopathic) as adults. However, I also felt that this was made as a take on bullying or as a satire more or less? If so, not a good idea. Bullies grow up to be your rapists, spousal abusers and child abusers. There is no humor in that at all. Frankly, it is time to call a spade a spade and see that bullying is not silly kids stuff like we were suppose to think by this movie. It is a serious problem with serious consequences and not something I take lightly.”
