In the movie Victor is much more blunt with letting Thomas share his stories, he specifically tells Thomas he does not want him to share any of his stories. This doesn’t stop Thomas, so after would tell a story Victor would reply “you’re full of sh*t.” This kind of negative attitude allowed the author to create a character that would play the role of a emotional healer, to make Victor more open and willing to hear stories of his father.
