He received a two-day suspension and upon hearing this, his parents decided to pull him out of the school at the conclusion of that school year..
Grand-mère: What?
It’s kind of been my motto ever since I left my old school. Julian, you didn’t leave your old school. You were explained for being cruel to another boy. Julian Albans: Whatever. You know what I mean. If I learned anything from back then, it’s to just mind my own business.
Just be normal
Don’t be mean, don’t be nice. Grand-mère: And this is what you’ve learned? To be normal? Julian Albans: What’s wrong with normal? Grand-mère: Nothing. And everything..
I was very impressed by the acting, especially among the younger roles
Follows Čudo (2017). It Can’t Be Wrong written by Kim Gannon, Max SteinerPerformed by Vera Lynn. I came in with lowered expectations, but this film absolutely blew me away! This film was very well-paced, and I found myself fully invested in the development of the main characters. The developments felt honest and meaningful, not just shallow or simply there to further the plot. The main theme of the story, one of human kindness, was well depicted, and even though we got hints and foreshadow, I was still surprised and gut-wrenched when the plot unfolded.
I hope this movie impacts you just as deeply
The emotional maturity of one of the characters caught me off guard. I didn’t expect myself to be so emotionally impacted by this film. This film is one that everyone, young and old, needs to watch. No matter your opinions, we all need to be impacted by the genuine, heart-reaching kindness displayed so effectively in this story. I ugly cried quite a bit after the film, feeling deep sorrow about the enmity prevalent today.
