OHHH THIS LINEEEEE MOTHERFUCKER
Now, Sullivan said this in response to Jude telling him he was raised in a Catholic monastery by the Brothers. Since Harold's more liberal beliefs generally don't align with traditional Catholic ones (And Sullivan hates Haroldβand his beliefs by extension), Sullivan says that Jude's upbringing might come into conflict with what Harold teaches him. And this is true, we see throughout the novel that the vestiges of Jude's Catholic-centered education does permeate into his belief system, which causes some arguments with Harold. While he might not be Catholic anymore, his upbringing still has some foundation in the way he approaches things.
Now Sullivan wouldn't mean it like this because he'd have no idea of knowing, but this line could also be read another way. What did the Brothers give Jude? They might have given him a well-rounded education, enough that he was far ahead of the other kids his age and went on to a prestigious college despite never formally attending school. But what else did they give him? Everything the Brothers told him, everything horrible, dehumanizing insult they filled his head with and made him believe that he was inhuman, disgusting, ugly, shameful, he is hated. That he was to blame for everything that happened to him because he was bad. Now compared to what Harold has always told him, has been constantly telling him, that he's smart, he's kind, he's beautiful, he's a good person, he's the most wonderful person he knows, he is loved. He has nothing to blame himself for, nothing to be ashamed of. The things Harold has been "filling his head with".
And yet, Jude believed the Brothers over Harold. What they gave him, his sense of self-hatred, was strong enough to "protect" against what Harold has tried to fill his head with instead. No matter how hard Harold tried, the belief system that the Brothers instilled into his head was too deeply ingrained to let Harold's words completely reach Jude.
The saddest part is that Harold kept trying. He never backed down. All the way until the day Jude died, he kept trying, hoping that maybe today Jude would finally believe him. But in the end, he didn't. His farewell letter showed that he died still believing what the Brothers told him. Harold's words never reached him. He could never get into Jude's head the way Brothers did.

hold up tho -- i was too busy being mad about everything else, but as a certified Cat Stevens Enjoyer (inherited dad music taste ppl rise up) now that i'm stopping to think about it even using 'father and son' in the final context is itself an empty symbol???? it's like they took the name of the song and the lyrics 'i have to go away' and were like oh yeah nice 1!
but like the song? is about? intergenerational conflict??? specifically the conflict btw a father advocating for a conservative, settled, traditional and pleasant life and a headstrong son resenting that repressive upbringing and making the decision to break away towards his passions? it's not meant to be one person singing throughout the whole thing, it's a really compassionate and heartbreaking dialogue between the idea of settling for the well-trodden road, and the need to leave it behind: the son not convinced by the comforts of the expected, and the father in some ways advocating settling for the traditional because he just doesn't want his son to leave him.
like in that context, it's the avatar of traditional singing 'find a girl, settle down - if you want you can marry. look at me i am old but i'm happy' over ted's car pulling up to michelle's house.
it's the avatar of the need to break from the repression of that life who frankly wails out (mr stevens i owe you my life) 'all the times that i've cried keeping all the things i felt inside, it's hard - but it's harder to ignore it. if they were right, i'd agree -- but it's them they know not me. there's a way and i know i have to go away'
like???????????????
using that song there is a whole ass choice but it's uhhhhhh at the very least a deeply complicated one, which doesn't really seem to click with this supposedly uncomplicated and 'unambiguously happy ending' they were apparently going for:. again like i said, feels like they just were like 'oh yeah father and son. people cry to this song right? bingo ringo!'
again, like with barbecue sauce and the pinball machine, it's borrowing those emotions from symbols instead of actually building them up in the story, and whoooo baby this song is just another case of those symbols not really matching up with the empty narrative they're being asked to prop up.
(anyway fun fact: the song was originally written for a proposed musical about the russian revolution and the son is actually singing about wanting to join the bolsheviks βπ©)

'National Lampoon's Vacation' Movie and 4K Review
The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella.
When it comes to comedy in films, Iβm well aware of the fact it is subjective.Β In fact, film criticism as a whole is subjective, but I feel as though with comedy, it is especially subjective. What I find funny in film, you might find painfully stupid and vice versa. When it comes to the National Lampoon filmsβ¦
