I saw this film when it came out in theaters and the plot still resonates to the point that this morning, 12 years later, I had to look up the reviews. I think you need to be of a certain age to understand the varied relationships between fathers and sons and fully appreciate this film. This is not about who is most knowledgeable and is deserving of largesse on that basis alone. Nor is it about pitying one who is bullied by a thoughtless and egotistical father. Some readers - those of the "me generation" I would guess - see this solely as an unexpected chance to gain valuable property, and why not?!! This is about justice and the thwarting of someone who thinks he can always get his way. Intriguing twist at the end. Beautifully shot.
