Honestly when rewatching those torture scenes the fact that he doesn't have his glasses through the whole thing hits hard for me. I can barley see without my glasses so being put into that scenario plus not being able to see your attackers or what they're doing is horrifying to me.
I mean I think the sad truth is that extreme trauma can turn people into monsters. Predators are often the victims of depravity themselves. That doesn’t alleviate them of any culpability for their transgressions. But two things are true at once; people who endure trauma deserve sympathy, and trauma can become the identity of the victim. He was abducted at age 10, abused and manipulated mentally, physically, and probably sexually. He was then forced to inflict the same soul shredding pain onto other children by abducting them for his own abusers. How could someone who’s been through all of that not end up being a little bit of a monster themselves. Ultimately he’s a sympathetic character because he has no control over his life. He was abducted and abused to the point he stayed a 10 year old boy, scared to death. He had no say on his life. He was forced into this life.
He is a victim of years and years of abuse, broken down mentally and physically. Humiliated and pushed and held down. Hanging the dog is him taking control and showing power the only way he can at this point - by abusing a creature even more weak and innocent than him. Heavy PTSD and trauma can do this and he definitely qualifies.
It's sad that we look at people like predators as victims so much that we forget what they have done to these families. The suffering that they caused. You only stay a victim "prisoner" when you give up in trying to be brave and fight for justice. I don't blame the father for beating the crap out of the guy who actually took the kids. Take a father's child and he will find you the kidnapper until you are dead.
@@SuperMrSkully he didn't refuse, the woman traumatized him and left him with weird speech patterns. if you watch the movie again, you can tell how he does his best to give them clues
@@brunebrizuela4503 Hmmm, if only there were other forms of communication, or you know, use his license with the address on it, could of just pointed and said there
It’s so sad when you realize he was parked outside of that home because it was the house we was abducted from.

And his eyes probably closed up too cos of all the punches he took..
one of my fav paul dano characters
Paul dano always playing a lunatic
I get he was apparently innocent but then what’s up with hanging the dog by the collar? Seems they want us to feel bad at the end but wtf

My friend has a theory that it's the only way he can get back at his "aunt" for everything she did. Hurt something she loves.
