Old Man guilty of being stubborn

As the father in this movie is adamant (he does not approve of his son's marriage, does not open or reply any of his letters, does not agree to live with his daughter and son in law when they invite him) I feel he is the one to be blamed. Of course the son should share the blame for neglecting his father for 15 long years but he tries to atone his 'sins' by adopting another old person as father. Good ending. But the director seems to shift all the blame (through statements of the servant, friend in his neighborhood, room mate, old age home manager etc)squarely on the elder son which is not proper. Another thing: All lady characters are shown to be very virtuous. Hardly that ever happens in real life. Touching movie.
