Quoted from Rarehero:How was he treated? I think the film accurately showed him as he is: A man stuck in the past who is completely happy with himself & his hobby.
QFT.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I either know of or actually know almost everyone in that film. I do not think that anyone was in any way portrayed in a way that I do not myself see them.
You can argue whether it's a Good Thing that the movie chose to focus on this aspect of pinball culture (I'm sure "Special When Lit" was no accident of a title), but I can not honestly say that I view it as exploitative in any way.
