"Beware of seriousness. It is a form of stupidity. Fear boredom and never use the word "erzatz". Good luck: the road ahead is tough & tricky."
-- Alexander Waugh
Neglect slightly, slightly, better than hostility. Not a lot.
I find it sad to hear Alexander talk about how his father put an end to the "favourite child" tradition -- and then so clearly re-enact it with his own son, Bron. I want to believe it's a conceit of the filming (and the focus on fathers and sons) but I suspect it's not.
