Heartwarming and Sad

Posted : 2 years, 3 months ago at Aug 9 23:16
Bobby is an innocent young man who's never been quite the same since a car accident in his youth. Now that his mother has died, Bobby must thwart his stepfather's attempts to gain control of the family's store. Once the Fat kills Bobby's pet mouse, Bobby runs away. Then he meets an elderly gentleman who teaches him the importance of all life...

Christian Bale does such a good job of portraying an innocent youth learning about all the little animals. John Hurt also does a fine job as being a father figure for Bobby during this emotional time. Seeing a dead rabbit in his arms makes you want to cry. Kindness, trust, love, death, and the sorrow of deceit, this movie will leave you in tears.

Rating : 8/10
