The film deals largely with father-and-son relationships -- both the protagonists and the villain of the movie have deep issues with paternal [[Parental Favouritism|favoritism]] and [["Well Done, Son" Guy|respect]]. Whereas Connor forces his father to try to protect him at the cost of a man he clearly [[True Companions|loves as a son]], Michael becomes determined that his only surviving child [[Evil Parents Want Good Kids|will not become like him]]. |
