Question about (spoiler)


Nicks (the red head one),

Why did he commit suicide, I don't get it, He had a boy who needed him.
And I didn't see any sign of him being so bad to do that.


Patricia Schumann has two pair of giant boobs I loved them, wow. She's beautiful.

Maybe he thought he had lost the kid for good -- who knows

Signature must be fewer than 100 characters in length

Because he was a drug addict facing a fairly long prison sentence and most likely loosing custody of his son?

reply

^^ This. It is made pretty clear (especially in the book) that he will lose custody over his son (who was basically his whole world). To top it off with a traumatic childhood, addiction to drugs, and a dead wife.. his life was sadly not the greatest..

reply

Yes, I agree.

He had just had the windfall of the inheritance and things were looking up (although his "investment" was a questionable decision at best).

Then it all went wrong and, on top of the other factors Mr. S mentioned, it was too much to bear I suppose.

It's also possible that, once busted, he compared himself to his mother (this is where the kid's name is relevant) and couldn't live with the possibility that he could sink as far as her and endanger his own son.

Nicks (the red head one), ...
No, Nick's the older brother, who loses his hand. Nick's brother is Martin's father (and red - headed) and for some odd reason is never named in the film.🐭
