A movie that moved me deeply

When I first watched this movie, I was more aware of the hardships of maternal love, childhood fantasies, and the tranquility of small-town life in America. After watching it again, I realized that this movie was about child violence. However, when I watched it for the first time, I was more moved by the previous themes.

A few details of the movie:

1. The existence of the stepfather as a negative character seems to have never shown his face from beginning to end.

2. Tom Hanks has a brief cameo at the beginning and end of the credits, telling the story of "keeping a promise".

3. The aircraft made by the brothers actually flew in the end.

Radio Flyer quotes

  • Boy #1: Dad, he promised to let me play with it, now he says he didn't and he won't.

    Older Mike: Did you promise?

    [other son nods]

    Older Mike: Well, you can't just say, "I promise," then forget about it. "I promise" are the most important words you'll ever say... well almost the most important words you'll ever say.

  • Bobby: He's coming back, Mike. It's not mom's fault, but he's coming back.
