The problem is that I already explained that I have watched the film myself (wouldn't have made the EP if I hadn't), and I cannot see Isaiah breaking down at his father's death as sympathetic or indicative of him truly loving him. Given how the film goes out of its way to paint Sidney as the victim in a lose-lose situation, and how Isaiah makes it painfully clear that he would make his father's abuse worse for him, it all comes to me as he is merely breaking down at losing a personal toy. Especially when he starts with giving a half-assed apology about what he did to him on the previous night before turning the tables and accusing him of starting the abuse all to save his own skin because he knew that his behaviors would cause his father to go off the deep end and confess to all of the abuse with his memoir.

That's not even getting into Isaiah's Never My Fault mentality. He knew what he was doing to his father was wrong, but instead of fessing up to it which would cost him his public image, he instead chooses to victim blame his father and felt no genuine remorse for inadvertenty causing his father's death. All of this sounds like total bullcrap. I'm fine if you aren't convinced with Sidney's death that he viewed his father as nothing more than an object, but given all of the scenes prior to the death and how controlling he was of his dad, I see that scene as nothing more but him crying over losing a victim because it was his OWN fault.
