First of all, wow! what an amazing movie, one of the best I've seen in years
The thought of Juan being Little's biological father crossed my mind a few times. What do you guys think?

No, it never crossed my mind. Why would you think that?

Dunno, maybe cause we don't know anything about his real dad. Besides, the mother was one of Juan's clients and maybe something happened between them...Just a thought lol

Juan was happily married, and in any case, he didn't seem the wham bang thank you mam type. Also I doubt that Chiron's mother was on drugs before he was born. I think she had just started using them when the movie begins. And then her drug use quickly escalated to worse.

He could possibly be his father. Why else would he care about some random little boy he has never "met"????

[–] Cornelia123 (784) 8 years ago

Because Juan was a 'good' person, just like Chiron was. They were two people let down by their society, two boys abandoned by their fathers, growing up poor in single mother households in very rough neighbourhoods. They did what they did to survive.

When Juan first met Chiron, you can tell he didn't even know who he was. If it would have been his son, he would have known. He probably would have given the mother money too, seeing how he seemed a 'nice' person, all things considering. Like they say, don't judge the book by it's cover. I seriously don't think Juan and Chiron were related.

You have a good point. I agree with you.
