Father & son movie moments

Don Corleone: Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, consider this justice a gift on my daughter's wedding day.

That day came:::

Don Corleone: [staring at the table] I want you to use all your powers, and all your skills. I don't want his mother to see him this way.
[he draws back the sheet to reveal, to a horrified Bonasera, the bullet-smashed face of Sonny Corleone]
Don Corleone: [breaking down for a moment] Look how they massacred my boy...

I've lodged this numerous times, but, it's Father's Day:::

- "Boy's! Avenge me!"

- Harry Dean Stanton - "Red Dawn"

From "Parenthood."

Frank: You know, when you were two years old, we thought you had polio. Did you know that?
Gil: Yeah, Mom said... something about it a couple of years ago.
Frank: Yeah, well, for a week we didn't know. I hated you for that.
[Gil looks surprised and hurt]
Frank: I did. I hated having to care, having to go through the pain, the hurt, the suffering. It's not for me.

I always wonder about the father/son thing in movies.
It seems to me that very few to vanishly small number of
fathers, quantitatively have good relationships with their
sons. Most fathers, or at least fathers who are career
oriented and status driven, want the trophy wife, and when
she gets too fat or old trades them in, and expects their
son to be clones and slaved to their egos.

American society is really coming to light as so totally
dysfucntional and toxic. America seems to be in the throws
of total denial while some are starting to visualize a new
way, and the culture wars that have ensued are tearing
the country apart.

Look at some of the lists online that claim to be father
son movies ... "The Godfather", "Captain Fantastic" they
are so far removed from reality it is pitiful.

The best one I see from the lists I've looked at is the
Martin Sheen movie directed by his son Emilio Estavez,
called "The Way" and it is all about a father looking back
about how he failed his son and atoning or trying to find
redemption by walking the Camino De Santiago. One
of my favorite movies actually.
