Very depressing film

I don't see it as being a depressing film. It was sad, yes, and i think that he did die but went out on his own terms. That's the way he wanted to go.

He had a good heart, and i don't think he meant to hurt his daughter. He just shouldn't have had a child. People really don't think things through. Most just follow the steps : go to school, get married, get a job, have a child... It's just the next step and a lot of people just shouldn't have children. That's why so many people need therapy. Having a child is the most serious thing a human can do and so many don't think (or even care) about the consequences.

It's too bad Cassidy didn't make up her mind sooner. Maybe she and Randy could have made a go of it. I thought he did pretty well at first at the deli. He was sweet to the customers and seemed to enjoy it. If he had her cheering him on at home (and i think her son would have loved him), things could have been different. It was just bad timing.

I'm so glad that Mickey Rourke got the opportunity to play this role. He's a fine actor.
