Saturday Cinema with Raul: Point Break

This movie resonated with me big time growing up.  As a kid in Michigan I was surrounded by lakes but always wanted to see the ocean.  This movie appealed to me because of the surfing and exotic California landscape.  But the surfing and skydiving are merely the scene where the classic story of ‘undercover cop getting emotionally attached to the criminal’ plays out.

This template story is so good that Fast and Furious is literally the exact same movie as Point Break, just with cars.  Let’s not even talk about 2015 hipster Point Break, it looks stupid.  I will still see it.

Anyhow with a cast including Gary Busey and Pat Swayze you know it is going to be good.  Add in babes, spirituality, and lots of action and you have the makings of a must watch movie.  The  underlying desires of Bohdi will likely resonate with any trader who values a life free from corporate oppression.

Here’s a great scene where douchy Johnny Utah gets his ass handed to him until super ninja Pat Swayse comes to the rescue:
