Early in the film Danny explained how his father (Rebbe Saunders) raised him, at this time it made me think that his father was quite a cruel man considering he raised his son in silence.

While Danny was growing up with a father who rarely talked with him Reuven was creating a strong relationship with his father - David Malter.…

Through the use of disconnecting narratives with varying forms of literature, Porter portrays Dad and Boys’ lamentation to suggest that individuals manage grief differently. Porter implies that Dad’s way of dealing with bereavement is by creating an imaginary figure, thinking that everything is about his wife, and reminiscing about his past.…
