Mr. Furches, you and I are entitled to our own opinions. I do not however, appreciate being called a liar. Ten people could see the same thing and report it in ten different ways. I stand behind my previous post, there were no half-truths in it. For instance, the girl died from injuries sustained in an attempt to evade and elude law enforcement officers. Not from smoking pot. True, the alcohol and pot would inhibit ones ability to operate a vehicle, but it was her rebellious attitude (run from problems) that was the underlying issue throughout the movie. The uncle is a looser, not because of his choice of occupation, but because of his attitude and view on life. He seduced the family into thinking that education and dedication to family and nation is unimportant. It is my strong belief that without those underlying principles our great nation will fall. The uncle also insinuated that it would be better not to participate in sports and thereby not be prepared physically for military service (if it was needed). This is also a rebellious load of crap! Without discipline, dedication and much education we will loose our freedom. We cannot survive without our doctors, scientists, teachers, soldiers, etc..., and we need people to just encourage others to excel in life, not quit! This movie was also advertised as a love story between a father and a son. But it wasn't that either. The ultimate love a father can give, is to provide for his family, and he fails miserably. He fails in the area of providing direction. He just gives up and sends the boy to his looser uncles house. Sad ending, it could have easily been a movie all could enjoy. I hope everyone reading this will borrow the movie from someone, don't rent it or buy it and support the writer.
