It's a movie everyone should watch

It's been a long time since I watched such a heart-wrenching movie... It's painful and at the same time it makes you feel how precious the simplest part of human nature is. The children are so innocent, and the guilty are those who have not fulfilled their compulsory education and guidance... How many people like me have seen their childhood shadows more or less from Arbor or Swifty? [Tears] The accent of the film is really heavy, I suggest watching it again in the next subtitle. The Chinese version of Sagittarius is rubbish, I only found an English version, but it is also not quite right. Jamie Michie played so well! The kids are awesome!

Policeman: This is a formal interview under caution. Do you understand that, Fenton? Hey, do you understand?
Arbor: Yeah.
Policeman: A witness saw two youths burning railway or communications cable.
Michelle 'Shelly' Fenton: That's nowt to do with him.
Policeman: Cable theft is a very serious crime, Mrs. Fenton. Trespass on the railway is £1,000 fine.
Arbor: I ain't been on railway.
Policeman: Vandalism, endangering lives, maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
Michelle 'Shelly' Fenton: He's just a kid. He ain't nicked no cable. You're looking at wrong place.
Policeman: He is, as you say, Mrs. Fenton, a minor. There's unscrupulous people out there getting kids to do their dirty work so they don't get into trouble with the police themselves.
