This is a group of children living on the edge, with endless work, scolding, beatings, and occasional sexual assault. They have no family, but they are waiting for an unknown way out under the sanctimonious educators.
Assimilation is a terrible word. When Elmer wets the bed, the sexually assaulted child gets up from the bed and participates in the booing crowd, the goodness of being a child has disappeared.
One day, is a word with too much hope. In Elmer and Eric's heart, their first hope was Christmas. They thought they were over, but when they received the news of their mother's death, they burst into tears in the restaurant. The second time was the arrival of the uncle, they thought they could leave, but were abandoned again. The third time elmer was full of astronaut dreams, he saw the Apollo landing in 1969 on TV, but his brother on the other end fell into despair because he couldn't leave at the age of fifteen. Hope is torture. The inner bitterness behind this loss is self-evident.
There are two moving scenes in the movie. One is that the little elmer reads letters for his friends. He fabricates lies and turns a possibly hopeless family letter into a fairy tale. Weaving dreams for these suffering children. This is an ageless maturity. But it is a kind light of a child.
The other is that in order to get his critically ill brother to be sent to the hospital, Elmer wrapped himself in tinfoil comically, smashed the principal's car with all his strength, and jumped from a height. The director gave him a shot of flying into the moon, and the reality was lying on the ground. on the hospital bed. However, this moonlight seems to herald the light that those who have been in the dark for a long time will find an exit.
The two children finally left, and the other children, finally willing to trust the new prosecutor, raised their cowardly hands. In the years when they were slapped every time they made a sound, it was all their bravery that carried the weight of this little finger.
It is a pity that the film is introduced at the end, this is a true story.
