The Philip K. Dick Movie I Would Like To See Them Make THE FATHER THING
Posted on March 2, 2011 by Jeffrey Newman
This story is about a boy who believes his father has been replaced by an alien facsimile. He and his friends create a plan to handle the imposter–without adult assistance. It is a metaphor for the fact the the alien imposter within us is age and our children have to learn on their own to deal with this creeping decrepid alien being, just as we do for our parents. Someone send a note to Hollywood.
