Two Father and Son Movies


Real Steel
















Set in the near future, where robot boxing is a top sport, a struggling promoter feels he's found a champion in a discarded robot. During his hopeful rise to the top, he discovers he has an 11-year-old son who wants to know his father.
















Starred by Hugh Jackman as the father and Dakota Goyo as his son. Honestly I was really touched by their chemistry, eventhough at first I thought that it's just an action robot movie.






















Being Flynn























Working in a Boston homeless shelter, Nick Flynn re-encounters his father, a con man and self-proclaimed poet. Sensing trouble in his own life, Nick wrestles with the notion of reaching out yet again to his dad.














I got interested first by the name of the two main casts: Robert de Niro and Paul Dino, which the first need not tobe questioned, while the latter I had known from "Little Miss Sunshine." It's based on a book which is also true story. Frankly, quite difficult to follow and comprehend, yet worth.
