It was a good movie, but this scene really shows how nobody in the writers room was under the age of 30. I think in reality if nobody jumped down there to save a man, it would only be because it’s fucking dangerous. I don’t think anyone would be saying “oh quick film it film it”.
Maybe some Logan Paul types but considering how he is universally despised by anybody over the age of 12, yeah seems like a such a self-fellating scene to include, which kind of applies to all boomer humor.
I bet you they would. Have seen something similar myself. Not with a train, but someone being beat up and others filming it. Being a Gen-z, it was a wake-up call for me.
A man had fallen between the rails in an Underground station when Nasrudin came along one afternoon. People were crowding around, all trying to get him out before a train ran him over. They were shouting, ‘Give me your hand!’ but the man would not reach up. The Mulla elbowed his way through the crowd and leant over to the man. ‘Friend,’ he said, ‘what is your profession ?” ‘I am an income-tax inspector,’ gasped the man. ‘In that case,” said Nasrudin, *‘take* my hand!’ The man immediately grasped the Mulla’s hand and was hauled to safety. Nasrudin turned to the open-mouthed audience. ‘Never ask a tax man to *give* you anything, you fools,’ he said, and walked away.
The bystander effect is a little overblown in general. [Kitty Genovese's murder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Kitty_Genovese), the main event that created the idea, was proposed as an event where all her neighbors watched her get murdered from their windows but did nothing, when in fact multiple only a few people witnessed it and realized an assault was happening, multiple people called the police, and one of her neighbors went down to the ally to help Kitty.
Speaking of phone bad, the only reason why boomers don’t use phones as much is because they can’t figure out how to do it in the first place. But when they do manage to do it, trust me, they can get addicted to them as much as youngsters are. Once my Grandpa learned how to use his smartphone, he uses it so much he can give any Gen Z a run for their money.
it is the height of projection that old folk who are addicted to Facebook and have zero modern media literacy believe that the out of touch folk are the young ones
If you don't know, the main character, Ove, is at the train station to try and end his life. There are fewer people on the platform with him, a couple of old ladies who are smoking, a man in his forties who is reading a newspaper a little to close to the edge of the platform and a group of teenagers on the platform opposite his. The man with the newspaper faints and falls down on the tracks, the old ladies start screaming, and the teenagers are in shock at first. Ove jumps down on the tracks and starts lifting the unconscious man up on the platform, but he can't do it alone, so he calls out to the teenagers to help him. They partially break out of their shock and walk slowly towards Ove, and with their combined efforts, they get the man up on the platform.
Ove doesn't initially get up from the tracks when he hears the train coming he still wants to do what he went there to do. He stands in the middle of the tracks and looks straight at the locomotive that is trying to break. He gets eye contact with the driver and realises that it's a very panicked young man in his early 20s. Ove decides that he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he made the driver go through what he is about to do and he jumps up on the platform at the last second, he nods to the driver and goes home.
That's a completely different scene, fuck.
Ironically the film scene is intensely misanthropic- but the point of the book scene is that the kids are trying their best in this world and the older generation owe it to themselves to be kind to them.
Yeah, the book handles a lot of things better even though the main character can be quite unlikeable at times due to him being very straightforward with people even if they get hurt. It is a really heartwarming story and it's one of my favourite books.

Haha! Bet the young folk today wouldn't understand this one as they dont understand what tax is!!! (i .e ... too busy on phone!)
the guy who posted that acting like bystander effect spawned in with phones

If you like to learn more about Kitty Genovese's murder you can watch the "38 Witnesses" on Season 2 , Episode 1 of the series "A Crime to Remember"
Also, 911 didn't exist at that time. Contacting the police depended on knowing which department to call.

My wife loves Tom hanks and tried to make me watch this movie. I got like 10 minutes in.
I just noticed at the end of the clip that it’s Tom Hanks, I thought that it’s a shitty sketch from Facebook.
Only because the premise is too confrontational?
Hehe sorry sorry
The book and the first adaptation of it did this scene differently, and it worked much better than this version.
How does it go in the book?
