Gruff old man

>gruff old man
>protecting a young child
>sacrifices themself for the child at the end

When will they stop these movies?

When the millenial marriage and birth rates go up.

these piece of shit films have been happening for decades

>people still make father/daughter figure protection stories after Lolita was written

It's fairly intrinsic to human life. Father = masculine and self-sacrificial. Sorry you don't have kids, user.

Name 9 kinos, 4 films and 1 flick where this happens, you dumb frogposter

Gran Torino
Terminator
Iron Giant

Hopefully never, it's the greatest story that can ever be told

Book of Eli I think but I haven't seen that in a while

Leon
Logan
The Road
Children of Men (not a child but same premise)

> being such a plebian shiteater that you defend the same stories being told over and over

pathetic

>Gran Torino
Not a young child. Late teens/early twenties Asian man
>Terminator
There technically is no child at that point
>Iron Giant
>robot
>man

You failed.

Now that's more like it.

he obviously meant terminator 2

Did he say Terminator 2? Didn't think so bud

It's touching when it's a Dad and son, but now it's almost invariably a father and daughter, which just seems like an extension of the hipster meme "I'm so excited to raise a daughter, I HOPE my kids a girl. Fuck men. I'm gonna play baseball with her and raise a TOMBOY

nobody gives a shit about any terminator but 2. When they say "terminator" they mean T2

>when someone says one movie they mean another

Are you retarded?

>Being such a hyperpleb that you hate refined themes

...

Kino - The Professional

>I-I'm not a brainlet who watches regurgitated trash, I s-swear

>what are archetypes
lmaoing at your life rn

> identifying basic tropes as basic tropes means they're okay

Try reading a book and learning the difference between a cliche, archetype, and a le "trope".

Name a movie that does this

A bit cringe but this is true.
Father/son >>> mother/daughter > mother/son > father/daughter.
Only niggers and (other) men raised by single moms will disagree.

us there a movie where the child sacrifices itself for the gruff old man instead?

Midnight Special? Maybe.
