  Road to perdition is such an underappreciated movie. Tom Hanks is really great in it, and the movie is really quite emotional.

  "I'm glad it's You"......That whole scene gives me goose bumps. RIP Paul Newman.

  One thing I have to admire about former mob and criminals are the ones who specifically made sure their kids never became like them or took up the mantle like they did.<br><br>It&apos;s one thing to make the choices for your own life and live by whatever factors played a part in shaping those choices<br><br>It&apos;s another to rope your kids into it and get then involved in something that can alter their lives or threaten their souls...<br><br>And i find that element of the film to be interesting<br><br>Whereas Connor was raised to be a gangster it&apos;s clear that he lost his soul because of it<br><br>Whereas Mike Sullivan sacrifices everything, literally everything to ensure his son won&apos;t lose his soul and will have a chance to be something more<br><br>When Michael tells him he couldn&apos;t pull the trigger, it gives Mike his dying wish cause he was afraid his son might grow to be a man of violence like him, but now he knows he won&apos;t and he can pass in peace.

  Both of my son&apos;s gave my wife and me nothing but trouble. They both ended up going in the military, ones in the Army, the other is a Marine, ironically there both MP&apos;s. The change is still unbelievable. Our oldest has been a Soldier for 13 years, the youngest has been a Marine 10. We couldn&apos;t be prouder. Thank You.

  At the end of the movie, he goes back and lives with the elderly couple. Tom Hanks asked them why they didn&apos;t have children and the woman told him, &quot;We met too late in life.&quot; I think they were the best choice the boy could have made for people to take care of him. They can teach him traditional values, the importance of hard work, and they will love him as their own.

  As an Irishman myself, I can attest this explanation of an Irish funeral is correct. It is more a celebration of the persons life rather than a terribly sad event. Usually people are drinking throughout the funeral at the local bar.

  Road to Perdition is one of my favourite movies of all time. &nbsp;It&apos;s mostly the music and cinematography for me. &nbsp;Much underrated.

  Tom Hanks may have 2 Oscars from Forrest Gump and Philadelphia, but he kicked butt with Road to Perdition. I have this movie...
