Ok so Like Father Like Son was one of the most maddening
films I have ever seen.
Before I say
more I should say that it is maddening because that’s the way it was intended
not because it was poorly made, I think it’s a great movie.
Anyway, the protagonist is one of the best
written antiheroes I've ever seen.
Not
only does he play the role of the protagonist but he also is the
antagonist.
Several movies and TV shows
have tried to do this but none, I think, do it as well as this movie.
Even Breaking Bad, which people point to as
the epitome of antiheroes, doesn't really do this too well, I found myself
still liking Walter White even though I was supposed to hate him.
But this guy is just the worst, I could side
with Walter White because for the most part he was doing everything for his
family.
Ryoto on the other hand was
doing everything for himself.
He didn't
care about his wife, the other family, his son, or his biological son.
All he cared about was doing what he wanted
to do and the reason he wanted to switch was because he thought his biological
son would be a better son than his actual son.
However he does get his redemption in the end.
I definitely enjoyed this movie.
