Hmmmmm….movie plot brainfart: A man impregnates a woman via a spermbank, who she does not know for legal reasons. He tracks her down, leaves a document stating that he is her son’s father. He goes on to promise that the son must believe and love him or he will torture him forever.
Now the viewer must pick which plot to finish the movie: the son tries to comply with an entire book of sometimes disparate instructions despite his reason and justifiable proof /or/ the son rejects such blind faith and suffers unmentionable brutality at the hands of an obviously deranged man.
Could that be structured in such a way that the absurdity of such a situation (and the obvious parallel) could not be possibly lost on anyone except the insane?
