Father why

Anyone can father a child, but being a dad takes a lifetime. This role can have a large impact on a child and help shape him or her into the person they become. Children look to their fathers to lay down the rules and enforce them. They also look to their fathers to provide a feeling of security, both physical and emotional. Children want to make their fathers proud, and an involved father promotes inner growth and strength.

It also instills an overall sense of well-being and self confidence. Fathers not only influence who we are inside, but how we have relationships with people as we grow.

The way a father treats his child will influence what he or she looks for in other people. Friends, lovers, and spouses will all be chosen based on how the child perceived the meaning of the relationship with his or her father. The patterns a father sets in the relationships with his children will dictate how his children relate with other people.

Young girls depend on their fathers for security and emotional support. A father shows his daughter what a good relationship with a man is like. If a father is strong and valiant, she will relate closely to men of the same character. As a viewer, you first realise something isn't quite right when Anne visits her father one day as normal - except she isn't the Anne we recognise.

Colman has been replaced with a different actress. Who is she? They can't both be his daughter Anne. What's going on? And, while we're at it, hasn't the wallpaper and furniture changed in the apartment since her last visit? It's confusing. You wonder if you've missed something. You can't keep track of who's who, or what's what. Names and faces get mixed up. The timeline is unclear. But, of course, this is precisely the point of The Father.

Anthony's worsening dementia means that he can't get a grasp on what's going on around him. There has been no shortage of films about this subject in the past - Still Alice, for example, won Julianne Moore an Oscar just six years ago.

But the flipping perspectives in The Father might be the most effective treatment of any such film to date. Zeller first wrote The Father a decade ago as a stage play. It was praised by critics, showered with awards, and eventually staged in 45 countries, including on Broadway and in London's West End. The year-old wrote the play based on personal experience. Zeller was raised by his grandmother, who started to experience dementia when he was However, when it came to adapting the play for the screen, he avoided doing a copy-and-paste job.

It's a pity certain other films based on plays this awards season haven't done the same. And that's a temptation, and usually what you do," Zeller says. But that's not what he did. After all, the apartment is one of the main characters of the story. So much of the film takes place there, but with gradual changes to the interior decoration. It was a way to make the audience doubt where we are, and to play with the feeling of disorientation Reviews of the film adaptation, which first premiered at Sundance last year, prior to the pandemic, were positive.

Owen Gleiberman of Variety said : "Hopkins is flat-out stunning. He acts, for a while, with grizzled charm and roaring certainty, but the quality that holds his performance together, and begins to take it over, is a cosmic confusion laced with terror. Anthony is losing more than his memory - he's losing himself. The sense of loss is acute and as things get worse, you feel your heart break in 10 directions at once. Sir Anthony is likely to get an Oscar nomination for best actor, and stands a good chance of winning.
