      It's all the adults' fault

      The biggest feeling is that adults have too much influence on children. The physical education teacher made Xiaopang have a healthy view, Jacob listened to his mother's words and killed people, and the little girl was lonely because of the single parent. I remembered an article: When you thought I was not looking at you, I saw you put my first painting on the refrigerator, and immediately, I wanted to paint another one. When you thought I wasn't there, I saw you preparing dinner for a sick...

      OST reveals everything in a movie

      There is a song in the OST with the lyrics You can't change without someone's shadow.
      This sentence can be regarded as the true meaning of this movie. The
      ending is so beautiful. Some people grow up, some people pay their debts. It's just that the death of the little boy is not worth it. He didn't set the fire either.

      Compared with Boy A, this film is far from the plot and the picture. If you watch this first, then watch Boy A or children who haven't watched Boy A should...

      Lovely Lovely Kids

      Alas, I came to watch this movie for a boy who died. I didn't have the big truth in "expectation". I have to live well or something. The ending was a little unexpected. Another boy died in exchange for my own. Peace and a lifetime of secrets, because the one who died was his unreplaceable brother.
             I like the girl with an oriental face (I want to say that she is a Chinese girl), she is generous and frank, precocious and smart. However, children are children after all, and they don't...

      It was an addictive story at first. Several people who seemed to be unconnected were connected by some small details, and they also encountered difficulties in life that they could not get through. In the end, they all seemed to see the true meaning of life, and then crossed...

Rudy is an athlete, brave and charismatic; Jacob is silent and cowardly, deeply inferior to the birthmark on his face. The best friends of the two brothers, including the precocious Mary, who is the only daughter of a single mother, but the relationship between the mother and daughter is strange; and the fat boy Leonard,...
