Through the movie, the character's most human quality is his affection for children, especially the pre-teen daughter of his live-in Brooklyn girlfriend. But when, in the heat of passion, he asks an Argentine prostitute to call him "Daddy," it puts an ugly spin on the character that's very hard to shake.

Pretty sick, isn't it? I found the prostitute thread a huge distraction that called Duvall's character into question. I suspect the main reason for it was so she could be questioned later.
shareNo offense to you, but I think that's absurd. Wanting to be called "Daddy" in the bedroom has NOTHING to do with one's relationship to children. Nothing at all. Nada. The desire for this kind of talk is simply a power exchange. It does not mean that a man wants to sleep with his daughter, step-daughter or a young girl.
The term "Daddy" is one that can connote power, not necessarily familial connection. So when a guy is in bed with a woman and asks her to call him "Daddy", he is simply interested in playing with power dynamics. It could be also that he enjoys the age play component of it, after all this guy is sleeping with a prostitute young enough to be his daughter, but that doesn't mean he has any interest in sleeping with his real daughter, especially one the age of his step-daughter.
All humans have some kind of sexual proclivity, desire or secret fantasy that some other people might find "ugly" as you termed it. It doesn't mean that person really wants for that thing to happen. For example, many women have rape fantasies but they have no desire to truly be raped, in any way, shape or form. Likewise, just because a guy asks a prostitute (or his partner) to call him "Daddy" does not mean he wishes to sleep with his daughter, or a girl young enough to be his daughter. Women who have been raped or abused might find rape fantasies "ugly" and disturbing, but that doesn't mean it is, it's just it is for them.
I realize some women might have a real problem with a guy wanting to be called "Daddy" in bed, and if that is the case a decent man would respect her wishes and never mention it again. However, lots of women have no problem with this and might find it exciting. Vive la différence... YKIOK,IJNMK.

I think it is your civic duty to ring the police. About what was said in a film on a flat two dimensional screen.
Lives are at risk and you are, selflessly, thinking of the children. Bravo.
I think you (the OP) sound like an immature scold. There's no reason to think what some guy does in the bedroom with a hooker has any bearing on his real life. I've engaged in all sorts of role play of things I'd never do. Most people have, and do in fantasies. There was nothing in the movie to suggest he had anything but true father-like affection for Jenny.
