If you
are looking to watch a movie like Transformers or Oceans Eleven, this is not
it. This is a deep and profound movie that follows a young boy that lives in a
rough world. Things never go his way and luck is not on his side. I really
liked it, the end was about as beautiful as it gets, but it was very sad in
many ways, and my heart ached for the kid. For me, the beauty was in the idea
that kids are extremely resilient to hardships, more that adults give them
credit for, but even so, everyone has their breaking point. Society should be
setting kids up for success and parents should be supporting and loving them,
but this movie shows just how much that is not the case. The other things that
I really love about this movie are the cinematography, the scenes of Paris, and
the way that it accurately captured the way that kids see the world – that kind
of spontaneity and responsiveness in the adventurous way that possesses qualities
of carelessness, irresponsibility, and a very non-adult kind of logic/reasoning
(which may be very illogical and unreasonable but seems perfectly logical and
reasonable to kids).
