Was Governor Luke's Father?....and what does it mean?

I just recently watched this movie with my girlfriend after she enticed me to see the sequels first. I saw Skulls 3, 2 and then the first in that order. After seeing the first skulls movie and the comment my gf made about the end and the possibilities it gave about the spiritual and mystical dynamics between Father and Son that i found was an intriguing underlining throughout the whole movie, besides the obvious relationship between mandrake and his father which was very commonly told in most movies. I was convinced that this Skulls was the best one out of the 3..now...to the subject.

My gf said to me at the end when Luke was walking away from the Senator and had whispered "Well done son, well done". My gf told me at that moment that He(the governor) was his Luke's Father....now i was quick to challenge her theory because i mean why? Just because he called him son? The Hint of pride you sensed in his voice when he muttered "well done"...maybe? But i went back to certain parts of the movie and discovered there was another time he had called him son with Lucas actually in-front of him, when they were talking in the diner earlier in the movie. Now, why wasn't it such a big deal then? I'm more convinced after seeing all the parts where Lucas and the Senator were together, that He saw himself in Lucas and in a lot of ways took him under his wing. Now, im sure alot of you guys when confronted or meet older respected men in some formal occasion, you notice they call you son sometimes. Not meaning litteraly, that they're your father but whatever it is your talking about he is trying to give you "fatherly" advice or guidence regarding a situation...thats why they usually end with calling you son cause they feel after giving you such knowledge they're compelled to call you son.

However, i will play devils advocate in admitting the ramifications that would present itself if...Lets hypothetically say He were infact his Father. Reason i say that is considering everything the Senator told Luke about what had happened, what was going to happen, and what could happen at the end before Luke walked away. If infact he was his father, he was i guess in some ways testing Lukes faith in saying after what he'd done for him, if he would deny him the consequences it could bring to his life. He challenged Luke and instilled a moment of fear in him to test his character. I ask myself would he actually go through with it and jeopardize his own son's life? If you give it some thought, the senator was in some ways playing God, i mean throughout the whole movie you could never quite tell who's side he was on. Anyway, i'll leave it up to you all to elaborate on this in anyway you want, cause i think its interesting dynamic...that compels us to further evaluate the nature of the mystical relationship between Father and Son. Though in the end, it can't be proven one way or the other if he was his father, such evidence or any hint wasnt presented in the documentaries,featurettes and interviews of the director and cast of the movie in the dvd release....so we'll never know.

Life is Pain, anyone who says differently is selling something.
