Cultural difference........?

Got scared looking at such a heavy subject? Do not worry, I will be writing a review of a movie I have recently watched..'Failure to Launch'..A commedy series about 35 years old man still living with parents and hence unable to keep any girlfriend!
When, I read story on DVD cover, I simply wondered if this is the subject worth making a movie. A delicate matter, how much one should be independent and at the same time attached to parents? I really liked the direction, because if such subject matter would have been selected in India to make a movie, story would be something like this..A guy who wants to lead an independent life, but out of fear and social custom, he cannot live his parents, hell lotta emotions:)
Here, I do not mean to insult Indian culture or offend parent-child relationship.
What I have understood and my parents have taught to me is, becoming independent, staying apart, if you can still respect your parents, miss them and remember them for the rest of your life, you can win the war between independence and emotional attachment. Happy to have parents like these, giving me enough of freedom and explaining values of our culture.
It is more important to make your kid independent, explain him value of self-esteem than making him weak using emotional weapons!!!
Lov ya lot mom n dad.......
