His father wasn't blind... man. It was poor Neil's weakness. Of course, his father could have been a bit more understanding, especially since Neil was doing great academically.

You have to think from his father's perspective as well. His father loved him and Neil's suicide crushed him as portrayed when he finds Neil's body.

@amdset Have you ever felt truly suicidal? It's not weakness, the unraveling of all the lies we tell ourselves and the pain after all the means of coping have disappeared. You are faced with cold hard reality, my dreams will not come true, I might be miserable for the rest my life. To feel suicidal is not a emotion or impulse as is seemly implied, it is a calculated decision that death is a preferable alternative a life of despair. Would you rather die by fire or a bullet?

I love this movie. We watch it every New Years Eve. This scene is one of my favorite. Ethan Hawke did a great job in it.

@amdset i don't think he understood how much acting meant to neil, and that's the result of miscommunication; years and years of obedience that is difficult to break. at 17, teens need to be able to think independently. if we fail, we fail; the true test comes from how we jump back from those failures and continue to move on.

@amdset as much as neil's father loved him, i know what he went through. it's hard to keep going on when the ones whom you want to impress most tear down your dreams. if i had the guts to actually kill myself i would have done so; the only thing that has kept me going is knowing that one day i can do what i want and have the chance to be happy. neil's dad wasn't blind, but he was ignorant. any parent would be able to see when their child is happiest, and neil's dad chose to ignore it.
