the scene where barth's father found out that he is gay was heartbreaking because it showed how deeply words can wound when they come from the people who are supposed to love and protect you... being treated as if his identity was something that needed to be "fixed" and be considered as "curse" and "illness" left barth carrying not only the pain of rejection but also the burden of questioning his own worth. and what struck me most was that barth’s loss of faith came from hurt, not rebellion. he prayed for freedom not just for himself, but for his mother as well—hoping that their situation would somehow change. when nothing seemed to happen, he began to feel abandoned and unheard... his disbelief reflects the exhaustion of someone who kept searching for hope and justice but struggled to find them in the silence.
