Wrongful Termination


I've always felt Travolta's character was unjustly fired. He was given very vague instructions on making the delivery- "Go to the side of the house, someone will meet you." He wasn't told to go to a specific entrance, or who to look for, and he was kept waiting. The curtains were left open to the bedroom.

I think he had a case and should have sought some kind of legal counsel... much better than what he chose to do.

Yes, but (within the film's context) he'd could only a white lawyer from some second-rate law college -- maybe the caucasian equivalent of Algonquin J. Calhoun (ref. Amos 'n' Andy), and that would lead to disaster. ;)

You miss the point. It's a mirror image of how justice is for blacks. That type of thing happens often to poor minorities in real life and the boss man would have a better legal defense and can make things go his way.

The courts have been so fair and just, that's why now people are starting to shoot at family services, cops, etc, because when peaceful options have been foreclosed, violence is the only option left.

Spoiler alert for them spoil sports out there! Y'all like spoiled milk, stop crying over it!
