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

  • Older Mike: There are seven lost secret fascinations and abilities. They are that: animals can talk; your favorite blanket is woven from a fabric so mighty, that once pulled over your head, it becomes an impenetrable force field, nothing is too heavy to lift with the aid of a cape; your hand, held forefinger out and thumb up, actually fires bullets; jumping from any height with an umbrella is completely safe; monsters exist and can be both seen an done battle with; and the greatest, most special and regrettable loss of all: the ability to fly.

  • Older Mike: [When the bullies showed up] We knew we were dead instantly,the way you always know you're in for it when bigger kids show up. It's a sixth sense you never lose.
