Was Adam Sandler's dad dead or did he just go away?
Can anyone give us proofs from the movie "The Cobbler" that confirm if his dad was dead in the movie or he just went away?
Best Answer
I haven't seen the movie. But the synopsis on IMDB says the dad (Abraham) reappears at the end of the movie:
Max wakes up in Jimmy's barber shop. Jimmy offers him some water and a pickle, stating that pickles help with the transition from one body to another. Max asks how he knew about that. Jimmy takes off his shoes to reveal that he was Abraham the whole time. Both elated and angry, Max hugs his dad.
It sounds as though he wasn't dead or gone. He was just in disguise.

Was Adam Sandler close with his dad?
Adam Sandler's occasionally troubled relationship with his father. Sandler's father, Stanley, was reportedly a man who dealt with a bit of an anger problem. As Sandler once stated: \u201cI never had a speech from my father (saying), 'this is what you must do or shouldn't do,' but I just learned to be led by example.The Great AND Terrible Career of Adam Sandler

Answer 2
In the movie, Max put on the shoes of a dead man and becomes a rotting corpse. He even panics and screams "He's dead. He's dead." When he puts on his father shoes he became a healthy, very much alive, version of his dad.
It was obvious that Jimmy was Max's father in disguise. The pears, pickles, wanting to help.
