We all have to be grateful to Britain to give birth to such a man and an actor

I loved this episode. What a sense of peace Patrick and his brother must have taken from this. This hated horrible man from their youth, made human and vulnerable to them. An explanation of his despicable acts in civilian life towards his family. And the knowledge that that was not his real self and it was none of their faults. I imagine it must have been a great weight lifted, a lightening of spirit for the Stewart’s

It demonstrates Patrick's empathy as well. To have gotten to this age and to be able to reconcile his knowledge of his father's experience with the memories of the terror his father inspired in him displays wisdom.

What a dangerous war time situation Patrick Stewart's father was sent into, awful. Patrick Stewart can read that historical document with so much import, he should narrate historical books on tape. Fantastic, resonate voice! I hope he sees into what his father's pain and struggles were. PTSD runs family relationships, especially if it is untreated.

So many people in my family have experiences from the war. My grandfather a batman and piper gone for 6 years , my father funerary brigade in north africa , my uncle the batmans son served in Korea and ptsd took his life at 25. Yet this family, my family served for the next two generations.

They should be proud of their father... however it is sad. it is sad because an illness they didn't understand or comprehend ( we are still learning about PTSD today) robbed the brothers of the hero that was their father.

my father was a doctor in the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corp in WWII, so he was there to help put soldiers back together again physically. the mental part was left to others. like a lot veterans, he rarely if ever talked about his service. so we know little of what dad did.

I wished that more veterans would have given an recorded oral or written history of their experiences. It would be a great source of information for historians and future generations of the veterans families. Though, I understand their reluctant to discuss certain actions.

Imagine entering this scenery with nothing but a bunch of untrained men and a brief understanding of what's about to come. Incredible.

Ironically, I had Huguenot ancestors, who from within a few miles/kilometers from here departed for the New World the better part of four centuries ago.

I find it interesting, Mr Stewart can pull this stuff up just talks with his dad. My dad would take us places( landmarks, tourist spots, etc) and wouldn't say a whole lot yet expect that we, his kids, would take something away from it, ourselves. We connect with our parents as we do, and want to try. But it seems a motivator needs to occur, to take something from shared moments. It seems, Mr Stewart, because of fear. In my case, it's random events in the moment because I resented him spending more time with his girlfriend/girlfriend's family, than his own. But he wasn't particularly aggressive/violent, as was the Stewart's. Seems I remembered, when I did, of stuff, because there, in moments, the resentment would cease. Was it Patrick and siblings, were too afraid not to listen? In any this, good luck, sir.

DISAPPOINTED with this show as it focused on one person and did not look into the rest of his family

@missbeauitful4696 5 жыл бұрын

I think that was want he wanted to know about. He often wondered about his father.

@Glee73 3 жыл бұрын

the whole show is about the featured "one" person on his/her journey to find out more about a specific thing from his family history, and in this case, he was focused on his late father.
