In my grandparents' generation, being responsible (dutiful) was everything. I lived in a house with all four grandparents, so I know this quite well. All aspects from love to life-long compromises for that generation were probably held by the single glue - responsibility. I don't know if that's the way to do things. I am of the generation that we are supposed to follow our passion, chase dreams, and so on. While growing up, the typical plot of the "good" films was based on someone who enjoys the trivially defined material world but realizes that their life is boring. They then discover some experience or an adventure that changes their life. And the movie ends. As if the discovery of passion is supposed to be the ending.
