Who wrote the review on the poster? While, some aspects are true, others are vague. Most people who endure family trauma (or any trauma) it never leaves them, in fact, it's known that it is passed down as "generational curses". So, between the book and the movie, it's quite clear he overcomes the demons and prioritized himself in order to pursue his dream.
It's a very sad, and humbling story. It could/has been any one of our childhood stories. The most admirable thing about the subject, is despite the deck being stacked against him, he managed to lovingly pursue his goals and didn't have to abandon either one because he loved his mama.
