Sounds like an moving story of a boy who is confused, troubled and unloved! Interesting to see all the awards and accolades it has received too 😁. Wishing you a Happy Friday and Weekend! J 😊
ReplyDeletep.s. I was thinking of you earlier, wondering if you have your Christmas decorations up yet? ...lol 😉. x
"confused, troubled and unloved" are perfect words. Nobody in his life understood him, and most of them didn't even seem to try :(
DeleteI have entirely too many Christmas decorations, so we got a good start in one day but didn't finish. Surely we can finish over the week-end, right? lol
This sounds so familiar! I can rent the DVD on Neflix so I will watch it at some point. Even though subtitles aren't so easy for me anymore--if this is what I kind of remember it would be worth watching again. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'll ever watch this one again... It's a great film, but hard to look at that poor boy's life. I do have hope at the end of the movie that he'll reach a better place in life by the time he's grown and has more control.
DeleteHard to watch--yup! I think it is the one I saw many years ago. Runs away and finds just as mean, selfish people on the street?
DeleteHe ends up being placed in an institution. His parents should've been horse-whipped :(
