the thought finally came to me, what i was trying to understand during the film but it was not coming to me. perhaps the main point of the film.

it's this. the boy's way was incredibly aberrant in a way, yet through his persistence, he was the one in the right place and right time to do the most good. to rectify the situation and do the most healing of the community.

the father too. the father's ways were a bit unbearable yet he eventually, through his unique ways, played the key role for his son.

that's a little bit like the idea in 'from dusk till dawn'. in dusk till dawn, the worst features of the characters in the initial part of the movie, were what you wanted them to have when it came time to fight the zombies. but in that film, that was purposeful manipulation of one variable.

this is a slighty similar phenonema in malena, but it is weaved into the film naturally, so that you wouldn't even know it unless you thought about it.
