When was the last time you called Dad?
I have spent a lot of time in the last couple of weeks thinking about voice. As in what voice is something written in? I talked about Maxium Magazine being written in a male voice. This weekend I went and saw Monsters Inc. One thing I like about the movie is that is was written in a paternal voice.
It pulled at fatherly heartstrings. The whole story was very guy orientated. Not boobs and beer, but having to take your daughter to go make "winky." There are things I wouldn't do at gunpoint that I would do to avoid making a child feel bad. I don't think we talk about this side of guy enough.
We call them sexist or deadbeat dads at the drop of a hat, but rarely talk about the paternal side. Help fix that and go see Monsters Inc.
