Is that the hole that in my heart? My daddy running off and never caring. Is that the anger? How important is the dad? The father? Man I gotta a lot of question to think about? Is society a disaster cause dad left? And women were not made to lead? Especially a family? Please women no offense. Just really thinking here!
I cried during the movie. But daddy where ever u are, I forgive u!
A long time ago, I was listening to howard stern and he was saying 'thank God for dead beat dads, because without them there would be less porno stars and strippers,' or something along those lines. LOL. As harsh as that assessment is, I think it's accurate on some level....I have not seen the movie OP is talking about but IMO, men downplay the importance of fathers in boys and girls upbringing because it's yet another excuse for them to shirk their responsibilities.

Not the case in my family. My father was very religious and never missed church. My mother went, too, but always appeared less devout and as soon as my father passed away, she lost interest altogether. Of we three adult children, only one attends church (interestingly, he was the most rebellious against our dad when we were young) and even he goes to a different church than where Dad worshiped. I think our lack of faith was at least partially caused by the fact we were dragged to church and weren't supposed to question.
I have a lot of admiration for my father, he loved us and sacrificed a lot for his family, but I adamantly don't agree with many of his ideas and haven't carried on most of his ways. No disrespect intended; we're just different people with different ways of seeing things. Oh, and by the way, he was raised by a religious mother and a father who was a complete non-believer (supposedly due to terrible things he had witnessed in WWI). So your premise doesn't hold true in Dad's case, either.
Fathers are definitely important. Having a solid relationship with their dads is important for both girls and boys. I'm blessed I had a great dad who stuck around and guided me. If I am half as good a dad to my daughter as my dad was for me, I'll consider that a success.
