father and son

              Road to Perdition is about a father being a gangster and he has two sons and a wife. The tragic part about this movie is that another gangster comes into Mike Sullivan’s house and murders his wife and his son. The only one left was his other son Michael. This movie answers a couple questions in the second article posted. The first question is "does my son know that I love him?" After mike had dealt with the people who were putting his son in danger, they go to a house on the beach and were going to live there. But while Michael was playing outside, the news reporter was behind the door and shot mike. He then tells his son that he loves him before he passes away. The second question is "does my son know that what he does is important to me?" The last thing that Mike wants is for his son to grow up and be a gangster. Also while they were at the beach house Michael hears the shots and he came inside and had a gun pointed to the news reporter. The last thing mike wanted was for his son to shoot that man so at the last minute while he’s bleeding out he shoots the reporter. At this time mike has succeeded because Michael never touched a gun again in his life.
                 The next movie that deals with the father son motif is Field of dreams. This movie answers the question "does my son know how proud I am of him." In this movie he builds a baseball field because a voice tells him to and it leads to seeing his dad. His dad has to be proud of him for building that field and almost losing his house just to see him play baseball again. This movie also answers the question "does he know that I love him?" When they finally have a catch together it seems like his dad is showing that he loves him and it seems like the tension between them has lifted.
