Everybody thinking this is some deep shit, but he's basically just saying he takes care of his family because of social pressures... And that his son is a bitch for caring if his father cares about him personally, because he needs to worry what the world thinks of him, not his father. Its pretty sad, actually.
It's a good delivery from a good actor, but the message is really messed up. "The law doesn't say I gotta like my children. The law says I'm responsible for my children, so I'll toe that line. Don't worry if your family likes you. Obey the law and do no more." Never saw the movie so the context is lost on me. But Denzel can make any garbled nonsense sound good.
No fucking way. It is not a fucking job. When you decided (or not) to have a kid, it sure is your responsibity to provide, but without love or attention, how the fuck am I going to undertand why you fucker brought me into this hell? I am the luckiesy son of a bitch ever. I have supporting parents that love me and are proud of me. Now, with 30yo I understand how lucky I am. And if I got to be even a fraction of what my parents are, I will have done a good job. Knowing they are there for me, that they love me, made me go through the tuffest shit in my life, and I wish everyone in this planet had the luck I have. To have such loving parents. Fuck off with that bullshit
James Earl Jones was better and you're not supposed to side with Troy here. He's a pretty shitty human being who's bitter and lashes out because of that
Fuck off with glorifying this shit. If you are going to be like this to your kids, don't have them. No one wants an emotionless piece of trash for a father, "provider" or not.
Lemme translate that for you
"I'm taking care of you because I have to, I would not do this unless I had this fucked up notion that it's only my responsibility as a father to provide.
Also, it's kinda weird I stick around at all, since you know..."
