See more thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 10 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more shawn b @RT79339204 Jul 19 This movie tackles the theme of surviving child abuse using a combination childhood fantasy and unreliable narrator. It's a beautiful, heart wrenching, warm, dark, exploration of the mind and actions of children dealing with something they should never have to deal with. Very uncomfortable. The actors did great at capturing this uncomfortable emotional mix and the imperfect outcome of a terrible situation. The choice to obscure The King's face in nearly every shot helps both to generalize the character to any abuser and to visualize that he is a monster figure not a caring reasonable human. A total contrast to the other adults who seem friendly and even helpful to the boys. Judging this based on its failure to adhere to adult logic and it's failure to be comfortable misses the point. It's entirely the unreliable and fantastical memory of a survivor of child abuse. The urge to protect their mom from their troubles, the refusal to get help from the police, escaping on a home made airplane - these are obviously not logical unless viewed from the eyes, mind and traumatized imagination of the characters. This movie is great at capturing exactly that essence. Until today, I hadn't seen this movie since I was a child. It pushes all the nestalgia buttons See more Carey C @RT89638493 May 22 If it had ended like The Life of Pi did where we find out the fantasy was to cope with trauma or would have made sense… an 8 year old kid building an aerodynamic craft and flying around the world is just ABSURD! The theories that Mike actually died and the radio flyer fantasy was a way to cope with the loss makes way more sense See more Josh G @RT60644188 01/16/2025 My brother and I used to watch this religiously. Great movie. Weird ending. Ive read that Bobby was actually killed by the king in reality.... then to cope with the trauma, the whole 'flying away in a wagon' thing was mike's only way of his mind to cope with the loss of his brother... I thank god for such a good Dad. and big brother. See more Candis S @RT78924226 10/20/2024 Great movie! Amazing cast and fantastic storyline. Really grabs you emotionally. See more Read all reviews
