The most interesting things revealed in Cristiano Ronaldo's new movie

#4 Ronaldo\'s deep relationship with his son

When Cristiano Jr. told his father that he would like to be a goalkeeper

Throughout the movie, if there was one thing that I felt was very consistent, it was Ronaldo’s understanding about loneliness, and how his son, Cristiano Jr. is the only one he lets into his world where he eternally searches for success. There are several remarkable father-son scenes in the movie which give away a lot of insight into their lives.

It's almost as if Ronaldo is bringing up his son in such a fashion that the latter is almost a mirror-image of his father when he is grown up, and I believe there's a deep meaning to their relationship.

Ronaldo's father José Dinis Aveiro is mentioned on several occasions in the movie, but what stood out was the portrait of his father. It sits by the wall right behind where Ronaldo and his son have their meal to start the day. It is like a constant reminder to Ronaldo that he has to be a better father for his son than his own father ever was.

The movie talks a lot about how his father was driven towards his love for liquor, but not his family. Ronaldo reveals how his father was mentally almost never there for him, and that he never really shared an intimate moment with his own father.

I would like to think that Lionel Messi isn't the only source of motivation for Ronaldo be a bit better. His father is very much a source of motivation too.
