okay so i was in the mood for a film about brotherly love and went on my little hunt for films that are about a pair of brothers because im someone who really loves films where they have a pair of siblings as the main characters and so when i came across this one that had the main duo as younger and older brother and the plot to it also being one that had me sold once i read it i just knew that i had to sit and give this one a watch and so i did just that and after finishing it up it instantly became one of my new favorite films mainly because it depicted the love between two brothers so well like you could just feel that chemistry between the 2 little boys and also as someone who has 2 brothers one older and the other younger this one just resonated so well with me and captured brotherhood so amazingly and this one also had me tearing up a whole lot because it was one that dealt with a serious topic and that was child abuse and even though me and my brothers didn’t go throughout anything like that this one still touched my heart because i too would be like the older brother in this film and try my hardest to protect my little brother from some disgusting child abuser and watching the older one try and do that in this film was so sweet to me because he didn’t wanna see his brother go through anything like that and just the scenes of him being all teary eyed when he would see the marks on his brother just pulled on my heart strings because no little child so ever have to see their younger siblings go through something like that and the ending to this film was such a bittersweet one because he really built his younger brother his own airplane so he could get away from the stepfather abusing him and that right there just had me telling myself how much of a good brother this little boy was to point he wanted to help his younger brother get out of that situation and the reason why i say this one is a bittersweet one is because once the film finished i went to look up the ending and i had two different groups of people on how they thought the film ended and that was group one being that at the end the little brother didn’t actually get away on the plane but rather he died when it had taken off and that story at the end where we get that the younger one got away from the abuse and traveled around the world that we get from the older one is just the way he’s coping with the death of his younger brother or the second group being that the brother did actually get away and got to live his best life away from all the abuse and me personally i’m with the second group of people because i just love that one a whole lot more than the first depressing choice but this one is definitely a good 5 stars for me!

perfect example of an unreliable narrator. i also will try my best to believe that bobby flew away and had a lovely life. the king is the most horrid villain in any coming of age film. horribly disturbing yet also felt quite euphoric

The perfect movie to cry to

A mom in a movie has never made me more livid.

That shot of the boys running in slow motion while everyone’s moving at regular speed is Chef’s kiss.

It’s a shame not many people know about this film. It was a box office bomb. I think it’s a dark but magical fantasy/drama film. I don’t know how I discovered it as a kid, but I loved it. Really solid performances from Elijah Wood and a pre Jurassic Park Joseph Mazzello. It’s a gem waiting to be discovered.
