I almost cheered
When the dad died, God I hated his character, HE should have been locked up in a mental institution.
shareyeah,he was unstable,and guilty as david.he started the whole thing with his jealousy,and he was out for blood even before the house fire.david did an unforgivably stupid thing,but the father said he"tried to burn his family to death"even though he ran into the house and alerted everybody to the fire.his own death was his fault.
shareThe father was pretty inconsistent. I thought it was very questionable parenting that he would allow David to sleep - under his roof, no less - with his 15 year old daughter. Then to terminate boffing privileges, for a month at least, so the rest of the family can get some sleep. Don Murray was more than a little annoying in the part, and you've got to wonder if he really understood the character.
The fire was all on David, tho. He did burn the house down, and whether it was his intention to play the hero or not it was a pretty crazy thing to do.
My 1st love had a mandotory mental health hold for 30 days per NY state law at that time. It made a long, missable hot summer that much more missable without Diana and she changed, became weaker (even though she was a fighter) as a result of being in a nut house and I became angrier and stronger (even though I was meek and a geek) and both of us HAD NO family support which made me angry since I always had my mom to lean on, but my BOTCH of a sister like jades brother was always sticking her nose in my business and to this day I hate her for it and for paying me $10 a day to work for her. Enough about me, but I can relate. Moral of MY story, I got the best pussy in the world delivered to me by my bully who I'm friends with on Facebook and I got to save her life as well, as traumatic as that romance was And how it turned me into a gran Torino, her death would have been MUCH MIRE traumatic, maybe I would have dropped out of school too, don't know.
Spoiler alert for them spoil sports out there! Y'all like spoiled milk, stop crying over it!
