damn dude
i really connected on this one. my dad is just like the man in your movie. i remember one night on particular that he was drunk and his g/f at the time wouldn't put out. he started beating the hell out of her...then he started choking her. i ran in and beat the fuck out of him with the bottom half of a pool cue. i really related to this movie, but it kinda depressed me too though. i ended up spending a little "quality time" with my dad in the county jail that weekend. he was in for abuse and child endagerment, i was in for assault with the intent to cause harm with a weapon. i had to explain to him the next morning why we both there and why he was missing teeth and had a broken nose. he promised to never drink or fight with either of us again..
less than 7 days later he came home 5 hours late, wasted. he got in my face and asked if i was gonna "try that same shit again", then slammed me against the wall. it only took one headbutt right between the eyebrows to knock him out. that was the last day i stayed with him. after that i lived with my mom until i moved out.
anyways, really good movie man. you have exremely good skills. thanks for creating a piece that has actuall meaning and deals with reality. its a good break from the fantasy land of the internet.
