Why is it kinda common in 90s movies that a father would kiss his daughter on the lips or a sister would kiss her brother suddenly for no reason?

What's the point the directors want to send? 🤔
In Meet Joe Black a father kissed his daughter , it wasn't sensual but it's still a kiss and in Face Off this girl's brother took a bullet and she gave him a kiss which was sensual.
Is there an explanation?

ya, I've always found it weird when dads kiss their daughters on the mouth, in my head its as weird as giving a gentle slap on the ass, some kind of very mildly sexual inappropriate behavior. I'm not saying that this is the intention of those who say this, I'm not saying those who do this are sexually abusing their child, I'm just saying to me it feels like that, but each family has slightly different cultures and I don't want to judge anyone. in certain culture men, especially brothers, hold hands when walking down the street and in my culture doing that would be a bit gay but I'm sure to them it has a different meaning.

@reflectingmonkey In that case it does make some sense but it's still odd and gotta be really rare. I come from a different culture too and imo it just feels a bit wrong but I agree that we can't judge them because they are just different.
