Movies that remind you of someone?

[Bluyoda]

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader reminds me very much of my father, who passed away last year.

He had great potential (creative and spiritual) and was very sensitive, but very unfortunate circumstances (One of them being him locking his younger brother into a hay barn, where gas canisters were stored. His brother then started to play with matches and BOOM, the hay barn caught on fire. He died two days later. Needless to say that my father must have felt very guilty.) turned him into an alcoholic, drug addict, lowlife and completely irresponsible no-good guy. He suffered throughout his life.

I last saw him when I was 7 years old.
My sister, yeah, almost exactly like in SW, got to meet him again two years ago.
He had stopped drinking and doing drugs for a few years, and was working as a crystal healer.
I was in Viet Nam until last year, so when I came back I wanted to see him too, but the day I was scheduled to meet him in the hospital, he died of stomach cancer, 2 hours before I would have met him.

I am more like Luke, since I am a composer/musician, a Zen Buddhist, don't drink/smoke/eat meat...so I have fulfilled my potential (not to pride myself), whereas my father has to some degree redeemed himself in his autumn years.

Funny, eh?

Maybe that's why I love the SW Saga so much.
