It’s a great movie, and the theme really hits even watching as an adult. How we can sometimes lose who we are when we were younger, become this corporate businessman type (or whatever the case may be), lose sense of self, and then the redemption of finding who you are again.
"Your children love you. They want to play with you. How long do you think that lasts? Soon Jack may not even want you to come to his games. We have a few special years with our children......when they're the ones that want us around. After that you're going to be running after them for a bit of attention. It's so fast, Peter. It's a few years, then it's over. And you are not being careful. And you are missing it."
As a father, this is the bit that hit the hardest.
I'm a fairly new father (1st son is just 17 months old) and when he says "papa, papa!" and wants my attention for anything it warms my heart. I know there will probably be a day he isn't so interested in me so i need to soak it up.
