      I just want to know where it was filmed

      Originally it only lasted for more than an hour, but I watched it all afternoon
      because of the constant pauses in the middle. I went to
      eat oranges, went to the toilet, chatted with my friends, and consumed a bag of potato chips
      .
      To


      be honest, I couldn't figure out who the protagonist was at first.
      I heard the narrator and knew it was Misty's story, but when we got to the coast, it seemed that the protagonist became Maps again, interspersed with the cute...

      This story is about love

      This story is about love
      , this story is about the sky, about the sea,
      I don't know why some people say that his ending is sensational,
      but because I was born in the 90's and I'm
      a naive idiot or a naive idiot in your eyes,
      but this is one of my favorite movies so far
      . By its sky, desert, or sea,
      or a boy's shallow smile or hazy love,
      if I'm one of the December boys and
      old, of
      course I'll miss the pure shoal of memory
      If I'm the director...

      smile and pick up things

      I used to hope that my best friend could always be by my side, but in fact it was me who chose to leave. My own changes and dissatisfaction with reality made me miss the happy life of my teenage years.
          My philosophy is , Do the crazy and presumptuous things you want to do while you are young, even if you suffer all the pain; when you are an adult, give me the responsibility of an adult and show a mature and confident attitude! The adults in the university, It's time for you to get out...

      "December Boys": A Summer of Growing Up

      (Written by Zhi Ning on December 13, 2007)
          The small-budget film "December Boys" would not have been so eye-catching if it wasn't for the starring of "Harry Potter" classmate Daniel Radcliffe. In fact, aside from the Daniel factor, the film still has something to watch.
          The film has a small structure and a relaxed rhythm. It tells a story about the growth of a boy. It reproduces a simple and lovely youthful past. The theme directly points to the preciousness of friendship, but...

      The honey and pain of growth

      The elusive Virgin, the first girl in her life, the strict control of the monastery, the wildness of the motorcycle, the forbidden cigarettes in the dark, voyeurism, bravery, jealousy, love... This film almost has what the growth story needs. of all elements. All honey and pain.
      A synonym for well-established, old-fashioned. The flashback technique, the old man's memory, the boys fighting each other, and finally melting into love. It's all plots that are all too familiar.
      At the end,...

    Movie plot

    In the outback of Australia, there is a Catholic monastery where Father Scully adopted many orphans. 16-year-old Maples ( Daniel Jacob Radcliffe ) is the eldest child in the orphanage, and his mischievous nature gives the priest a headache. Misty, and Spit are all good friends of Maples, and because all four of them were born in the same month, they are called "December Boys". One by one, the children in the orphanage were adopted,...

    "December Boys" is an affectionate record of a memory of family and friendship   . The film is a low-budget film, but it has attracted a lot of attention because it well restores the Australian style and juvenile mentality of the late 1960s   . Daniel Jacob Radcliffe's role in this film completely subverts its pure and sacred screen image in the past, but is closer to the ordinary adolescent. (Sina Review) 
    The film's overly nostalgic...
