im like halfway into this movie so I dont know how it ends or if there turns out to be some twist but....hypothetically would you do this for your son or daughter?
never miss a chance to have sex or appear on television.
Any parent would try to protect their child. but I would choose a different method. Since I was a toddler, my parents taught me that it was better to face the consequences of an error than to cover it up, as matters are only made worse when coverups are exposed.
The coverup of the accident was a crime, and put the mother at risk of suspicion of manslaughter or murder and jail time, which would be a terrible tragedy for all three of her children.
I would expend the money and effort instead on legal defense. But that's a different story, and it's been told many times. While the story was contrived at times (the car wreck at the end is the worst offense), it was an original approach.
I agree with your post about actions and consequences. It's an individual choice rooted in decisions made and remade. Since this is a remake of "The Reckless Moment", 1949, I can't see your original approach. A love affair between two people, one young and new to the emotions, one experienced to the good and bad; a fight; an accident; a death, a mother's drive to protect, the resulting feelings of two people thrown together because their foundation has cracks, and the sacrifice for loved ones, similar to the mother's.
Unless you speak of the young man never finding out what he could have done. A plot line that doesn't make sense to me at this point. The young man never wondered about what happened after the fight? They didn't shake hands and say goodbye, so it seems he would want to check to see if it was over, things said in anger, but okay. Or the backstory of a less than understanding dad. But I will say that this family found some of the secrets some tried to bury. So it's a stronger movie than the original.
If we can save humanity, we become the caretakers of the world
