Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Moon and the Son: An Imagined Conversation is a 2005 animated short film (28 minutes) written and directed by John Canemaker.John Canemaker's real name is John Cannizzaro Jr., and the film is the history of his troubled relationship with his perpetually angry, cruel father, John Cannizzaro Sr. The film is framed as a conversation from beyond the grave, the elder Cannizzaro having died in 1995. The son (voiced by John Turturro) tells his father (voiced by Eli Wallach) about a dream that the son had the night his father died, in which he dreamed his father turned into the man in the moon. From there the movie recounts the life of John Sr., a laborer and World War II veteran who was busy emotionally (but apparently not physically) abusing his wife and two sons, when he wasn't selling bootleg liquor for the Mafia or conspiring to burn down hotels for the insurance.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

An Immigrant's Tale | |
| The Moon and the Son: An Imagined Conversation / int_11b2e74f | comment |
An Immigrant's Tale: The story of the elder Cannizzaro, subverted in part at least because he was actually born in the United States before his family went back to Italy when he was a child. | |

Hair-Trigger Temper | |
| The Moon and the Son: An Imagined Conversation / int_63b02752 | comment |
Hair-Trigger Temper: Cannizzaro Sr.'s greatest fault, apparently, as he was just a big ball of rage all the time. In the film this is visually represented by the father turning into a rocket that launches. | |

Gray Rain of Depression: When the elder Cannizzaro goes to jail for setting fire to the hotel. (It turns out that the mob set fire to the hotel, although Cannizzaro knew about it.) | |

Lady Drunk | |
| The Moon and the Son: An Imagined Conversation / int_fdb3b2b5 | comment |
Lady Drunk: Apparently the melancholy fate of Mrs. Cannizzaro. It isn't dwelt on at length but the son mentions how his mother retreated into a solitary world of cigarettes and alcohol before she died in 1988. | |
