How Leticia & Sam got together, so quickly
How did he hate his son so much, but had such compassion for this complete stranger
Did anyone else think that Letecia was a little abusive towards her son?
Did anyone else think that Letecia was a little abusive towards her son?Absolutely! My heart was breaking at the part of the movie when she was yelling at him for being so overweight, then hit him and knocked him to the floor.
Alcohol.
The death of his son changed him. He was looking for redemption.
Yes, and she regrets it when he dies - which is true to life.
All three are inter-related
.They got together so quickly because they shared a common interest - both had just lost their son recently
.Again same reason, they were connected because they bother suffered the same. Although like others have said, I don't think he truly hated his son, he thought he did but only after his death did he regret it.
.Yes just as Hank was abusive towards his son. And notice how both vented their anger out on their sons over the same reason - the guy who was on death row. Hank punched his son because he *beep* up his last walk and Leticia beat her son mainly because she was hitting out over it being his (her husbands) last day alive.
I think, in Sonny, Hank saw too much of his own (good) self which he tried to hide because of his jerk of a dad. So he projected that hate on his son.
As for his compassion towards Leticia, that only kicked in the night they went to the hospital. And when he began to fall in love with her, he realized his father had been the cancer that cost him everything to that point. He lost his son because of the hatred he projected from his dad, etc. He wasn't going to lose Leticia, too. He realized it was time to live for himself and from his heart, rather than his dad's expectations.
well it's a movie about flawed characters, there were no good guys here
so many movies, so little time
