This has been on my watchlist for ages so will rectify this v soon!
I haven't seen this film in so long but hearing you talk about it reminded me just why I loved it so much that first time round. A rewatch this weekend I think
I really don't think you appreciated the DEPTH in this film. I can't recall too many films where a story (without cutaways or flashbacks) is so powerful in just dialogue. Also no mention of how powerful the final scene of the film is. I cried.
Damn Shane! That's some great thoughts on the film. Glad you really liked it. Shame some people just can't see a good movie when it's right in front of them 😜 - H
On the subject of the title needing more weight - you're failing to mention it's main significance - that's where his father used to joke about his mother being from, which is a link to his own childhood abuse.
It's not that he didn't respect his brother enough, he knows if he gets on that phone with him there will be no convincing his brother that he can take his son. But his mind is made up and his strongest defense is not to engage at all.
Yeah he's the guy Ed Harris was trying to impress
I sense a negative review coming...
