reel parents

extremely noteworthy parents lately, fromthemovies:

1. if you walked the line, weren't june's parents simply ace?

when johnny was wrestling with his tractor in the woods, it was june's empathetic mom who told her to go to him, because he was a "mixed up" kid. in my view, traditional less-discerning parents would have said, "drive!" because from all indications, johnny looked like trouble, and what parent wants trouble for their daughter? she also recognized that june was involved with him already, involved in the real heart-sense.

also when that drug pusher came looking for johnny, it was june's frail-looking dad, and the mom who took up firearms and threatened the drug pusher. hahaha! loved that scene.

2. and if you climbed brokeback mountain (where the cold nights were so extremely cold prompting a silly girl* to say, ahhhh... kaya pala! haha!) weren't Jack's parents utterly loving to Ennis? leaves you with the impression they had been accepting of their son Jack.

*it was this blog's author and she was just being stupid which is fun to do, too. :P
