Part 6/14:
Billy’s depiction of his own childhood—marked by harsh, often emotionally distant fathering—resonates deeply. His father's dismissive farewell—"Life is a cesspool"—captures generational trauma, which fuels Billy's substance abuse and self-destructive tendencies. The documentary reveals how Billy’s relentless pursuit of success was partly a rebellion against, or a response to, a childhood marred by feelings of inadequacy and familial disappointment.
