      Boy, you know your fate, but you don't know you can change it.

      It's hard to give a clear standard of good and bad. I don't deny Jack's kindness, he is kind-hearted, but is youth and ignorance a strong reason for explanation? ? I don’t think so! A lot of times, we can judge right from wrong, we know what to do is hurt, and we know that it may be wrong and irreversible, but the atmosphere at that moment is shrouded in, it seems that there is a force pushing you to be you Actually don't want to do it.
      Can we blame the family for the misfortune and the...

      A boy

      "Jack, Well, That's the first thing taken care of."
      "Jack, this is the first decision you made." The first decision
      Boy A made was to name himself, Jack.

      Boy A was just an ordinary boy, and Boy A was his name when he was tried.
      Boy A is now called Jack, he is on parole, he has a counselor Terry like his father, and the sojourn family has a kind aunt. In the room he was haunted by nightmares, hesitating, frightened, and the shadows of his childhood lingered.
      But...

      To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you. - Lewis B. Smedes

      I once read the words of Lewis B. Smedes, an American Christian writer, "To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you". Forgiveness is like freeing a prisoner, and then discovering that it is you who took a prisoner. In the movie, forgiveness is lost in the boy's life, replaced by a gap that allows public opinion to pass and cause harm. He forgives himself, but the people around him don't; he chooses to forget the past, but the past still sticks. The poster for...

      I am very depressed.

      When he was limping and hopping alone on the sunny street, not knowing where to go, he suddenly burst into tears for him.

      A very shy and even a little cowardly boy, a little bit like his father doesn't care for his mother and doesn't love his mother, and he was bullied at school. Finally, one day a small boy rescued him and became his only friend. This boy is worse than him, so that he has formed a more extreme and tyrannical character. Two half-old children who were neglected and...

      Don't be so sensible, can you treat everyone equally?

      Just watched Boy A.
      The last few minutes of the whole film really couldn't control "tears falling".
      It's been a long time since I was really sad because of movies, this form with unreal elements.
      However, looking back and asking myself, if there was such a person around me, would I treat him like an ordinary person.
      For most people, the answer is no. After all, someone like Terry in the film is a minority of a minority.
      Looking at Uncle Dongye's "Letter", even the...

      It's your right to start again. But after all those things it might also be the right for the rest of people not to forgive. Your friends are your family but sometimes they don't have that power to protect you forever. I like this film ,...

    Movie plot

    Long ago, when Jack was a child, he made a mistake, a fatal mistake. This mistake affected many people and ruined many people, including himself.
    Because he and another child killed a girl of the same age.
    Then came a long prison life of five years. Day after day and year after year, he seemed to have forgotten the taste of freedom and the appearance of the outside world. When he saw the sunlight outside the high wall again, he was 24...

    Evaluation action

    "Boy A" is a mediocre movie, so simple and even without any color, this kind of "mental black and white" can also be shocking. The director talked about it like a bedside story to a child. There was a subtle sweetness, and there was also a glimmer of sunshine and subtle hope. But in the end, everything went to ruin, plain, simple, and confused. In the film, the director conducts a discussion that transcends humanity and emotion. People...
