Because he tries, he really tries. His mistakes are typically sins of omission or ignorance, and you can&#8217;t fault him for it, for trying. His relationship with his wife is a beautiful partnership and he loses her to cancer. He loves his son but they don&#8217;t have a great relationship despite his best efforts- and sometimes it just works out that way.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m wondering what else has inspired me over the years with such sticky, memorable visuals and audio.
