"Falling Down" (1993) was described as a contemporary Odyssey, in which the Odysseus is a middle-aged white man, who is threatened by the changing social landscape of America.

According to the surveys, such men played a major role in electing Trump, and somebody who does research on the topic even called William Forster, the main hero of the movie, a distilled version of Trump’s voter. Even divorced Forster's mantra "I am going home" parallels "Make America Great Again!"

Love the opening scene of the movie:
