Broken (2003)
Children's expectations of parents can be selfish
17 June 2004
My enjoyment from the short film Broken was derived from a moment of revelation in that the parents cannot accept their sons sexuality, and nor should they have to.
I came to the realisation that it was the son who selfishly required his parents to accept that facet of his being, even though they admit, with great emotion, to loving him for all that he is (excepting his homosexuality.
It was the son's stubborn desire that his parents accept this facet of his being, that affected me the most.
Overall, though the film was very good and was handled in a way that focused on the parents (a novelty in my view, as normally these situations are only taken from the child's viewpoint).
