Jerry and Papa Naples (his future father-in-law in the film)
Papa Naples was a barber
Dean's father was a barber
In a very broad sense Dean's father would be Jerry's father-in-law considering that Dean was Jerry's "other wife".
Papa and NOT Daddy
The actor who played Papa Naples, Salvatore Baccaloni, was Italian. And he was a singer. As we all know Dean had Italian origins.
Papa Naples... Naples reminds me from afar of the song "That's Amore", a declaration of affection for Naples and its traditions such as pizza, tarantella and the famous pasta e fasule (pasta and beans).
In the film, Jerry's character babysat the three children.
In real life Jerry actually babysat Dean's kids.
The coincidences seem too many to be truly random.
Papa Naples could represent Dean. And they also sing together.

Then an old wife, Ioreth, the eldest of the women who served in that house, looking on the fair face of Faramir, wept, for all the people loved him. And she said: ‘Alas! if he should die. Would that there were kings in Gondor, as there were once upon a time, they say! For it is said in old lore: The hands of the king are the hands of a healer. And so the rightful king could ever be known.’

Love that Oppenheimer is a deeply disturbing horror movie about a man forced to accept that he is, in a person, the representative manifestation of mankind’s evil in committing one of the greatest horrors of human history - LITERALLY acting as the modern Prometheus, tormented by his sins for the remainder of time. Knowing that he will never be pitied and his actions will forever be utterly unforgivable because the blood of genocide and the potential of total human annihilation will eternally drip from his hands.
But also the simultaneous indictment by the film that to blame a single person for the Manhattan Project is to refuse to accept your own capacity for great evil if the ends ever seem to justify the means, and the culpability of every member of a species that lets itself create something so unspeakably terrible.
Hate that twitter’s take on such a nuanced and brilliantly handled examination of those issues is “movie bad because protagonist not evil enough.”

imagine being scotty in tos. every day your friend group goes on dangerous yet exciting adventures to new planets but you can never go because they always make you babysit the ship. also you have to stay on facetime with them the whole time in case they need a lift. you are the eternal designated driver. the seventh wheel. you dont mind as much as you should though because you sort of want to fuck the ship
