      Fashion is a circle

      This is Lanflo’s first movie. I was just born that year... This smoking boy has a mature age beyond his age due to the hard life with his mother, as well as a strong distrust of the adult world, the only breath of youth It was only revealed in the relationship with his younger brother, and I have to say that Lanfro fits perfectly with this image. However, his rebellious cunning and quick response are ultimately no match for the tactics of politicians who want quick success and quick success....

      Youth gets wisdom——so beautiful

      "Witness protection"-I think it is a fascinating word since I was a child, representing the beginning of all new life! In the film, the little brother used his wit and bravely helped the blue-collar mother and son to win the happy life of capitalism. It can be said that he has dealt with lawyers, policemen, and gangsters by himself. At the age of 11, he has controlled his life. When the light at the end of the film shot into the porthole and shone on the young Xiyi's face, and drum-like music...

      The beautiful boy who used to love

      I used to like bradrenfro for a while. He was really good looking when he was a kid. He was very handsome and melancholy. In short, I personally think it is a very charming temperament. Unfortunately, his unfortunate childhood, unreliable family and friends, and Hollywood’s Vanity Fair ruined him. Of course, he didn’t excuse him. He said he was not a bad boy, but he stole as a teenager and starred as the director of this film. He was selected from the juvenile management...

      Brad Renfro made me sad for three days and three nights

      Your life to death is a beautiful miracle.
      I just don't want to live cruelly, but die without cruelty.

      If you were born in a tragedy, and you bring the tragedy temperament into a certain work, you have made the work.
      But it seems that personal tragedies are unavoidable, regardless of whether it is love, hope, or faith.

      You need help, but no one can help you.
      Self-destruction, unless it hurts others, is successful and proud.

      Others hurt you too much....

      brad renfro

      When he was Mark Sway, the golden earring in his left ear impressed me. His sophisticated tone when speaking, his keen insight into the adult world, and his full of indignation in his eyes are not what we expected to see from a 12-year-old boy. But Mark played by Brad Renfro is like this.
      When I watched a movie, I was still wondering if this little actor had already watched many Hollywood movies and couldn't help but imitate the appearance of an adult. But when I knew that it was the...

      BR is playing himself. In the film, Mark was held in his arms three times. The first time was after his mother scolded the lawyer, the second time was the reunion of mother and son, and the third time was the most moving one, being held by a lawyer. Embrace it. In the end Mark said "I'll call you" to the lawyer, who was still a...

    Movie quotes

    • Reggie: I have been sober for three years.

      Mark: Yeah right, that's what all the drunks say, how they're gonna get sober and all. They even say they love you but they don't. And then they come home wasted and beat on you and your mother so bad that you gotta hit 'em in the face with a baseball bat!

      Reggie: You're talkin' about your daddy aren't you?

      Mark: Yeah, well, I got rid of him. When me and my mom went into court to buy our divorce our lawyer SUCKED as usual, so I went up there and told the judge myself about all the beatin's, about how he made us sleep in the street. And that's when my father became my ex-father, and now I got you, and you're a drunk and a bad lawyer too! So now I'm gettin' rid of you, you're fired, okay?

    • Mark: Thanks Rev. Roy, you've been a real pain in the ass.

      Roy: Thank you, son. I can assure you, you have been an even larger pain in the ass.

    • Reggie: [upon seeing Mark's Led Zeppelin t-shirt] You like Led Zeppelin?

      Mark: Yeah. Do YOU like Led Zeppelin?

      Reggie: Oh, sure. They were a great band.

      Mark: I bet you've never even heard of Led Zeppelin. I bet you're just one of them grown ups who just pretends to like really cool bands just to get close to little punks like me.

      Reggie: Well, I think we've covered just about everything...

      Mark: Ok, what's you're favorite Led Zeppelin song?

      Reggie: um... Moby Dick, live version. Bitchin' drum solo.
