KD - Too much philosophy too early ?

I thought so ... 😊

Apparently, the characters are in 11th grade/standard - which would technically make their ages 16-17 years old. I agree with you. KD's character seems intense.

Reminds me of Amitabh Bachhan's character in the old movie Shakti (if you've ever seen it/heard it etc...) Amitabh's father (Dilip Kumar) too was a righteous police inspector in that movie. When Amitabh's character was 6-7 years old, he was kidnapped by goons. The ransom: exchange of a dangerous prisoner caught by Dilip Kumar in return for his son's life. Dilip Kumar refuses to negotiate with the goons and plays bluff - telling the goons to go ahead and kill their son, knowing that they wouldn't do so as he is their trump card and hatching a plot to rescue his son. Unfortunately kid Amitabh overhears the conversation and believes that his father has left him out to die for the sake of his principles. Believing in survival of the fittest, he successfully manages to trick the goons and escape. In the meantime Dilip Kumar raids the goons' hideout to rescue his son - but he has escaped safely back home to his mother. This incident changes kid Amitabh forever. And he grows up refusing to trust his father ever. He crosses over to the dark side, thereby distancing his father further. The entire movie is a tussle between father and son. Both are right in their own way - but can never see eye to eye.

IMHO, KD's silent anger reflects Amitabh's character from that movie.
