As for the father, he's the spitting image of 90% of the old
UK farts here. Know-it-alls ALL
Village idiot.
also i was seperated from dad growing up (admittedly, only by twenty miles) and today is his birthday. watching this has moved me to tears and made me feel lucky and guilty in equal parts.
and its great to hear the local cornish accent on screen
You have created something very moving, and found a positive twist on something that must have been very tough for you.
Although their marriage has not always been perfect, I am so SO glad I didn't have to experience the grief and pain this poor young man has had to experience, from his father's selfishness in moving to the other side of the world, and then secondly choosing this kind of woman for a wife. This marriage is just a few steps above slave-hood, and only a step above prostitution (and that is being kind). What is also remarkable is how the men of her family, just sit by and allow their daughter, their country to fall prey to wealthy old white men like this. Deep down these men of Thailand must HATE these white men for coming in and buying up all they do in property, people, and things. How can this man even consider himself to be a member of this village, to be one with them?
What a brave young man to get through and to bless this wedding- and to make film of his entire experience. It was a great film, and anyone can see, he tried to make the best of the situation. However - I don't envy him for having a deserting father like that, over a father like mine that stayed home and saw things through...
Thank you for reminding me to how fortunate I am, for having the father I have....
