Alan,
I'm no head shrinker, but being 40, most of my peers have kids and yes, I am saddened by how many parents raise their kids these days, ignoring them emotionally and then overcompensating for that with material items. Then mom and dad lay blame on all the external stimuli like TV, movies and video games when the problems start with kids that have no values- something that needs to be taught at home at a very early age. I realize that's simplistic 2 sentence explanation of a much more complex subject, but I don't have the time or inclination to go deeper.But
Saying mom didn't hug any of us enough is way off the mark. Your experience consists of seeing the bad cases every day. Pretty heavy baggage. There are also plenty of parents taking care of their kids heads, raising them with ethics, discipline and a value system. WIth all due respect, it seems like you're so close to this subject that you saw this as the main point of the film and I think that it was only a small portion of the story.
Cheers,
Troy
