This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
I just find hard to believe there are many people who likes this garbage. No only they like it, they had the balls to rate this 10/10. Why? Maybe because this movie touch the heart of soppy people, perhaps? This movie about a pregnant woman, victim of a lightning. She gave birth an albino baby with magnetic superpowers. This baby grew in a cellar of the grandpa´s house. Super intelligent, mind reader, and magnetic powers. Jeremy, the albino guy go to school and face bully guys who dislike his appearance, And the leader of the pack was a mean macho. The storygoes on: Jeremy can´t never defend himself, hies teacher Jessie Caldwell always push the bullies away. So pathetic. The ending: Oh My Lord, he finally is swallow by a big lightning in the clouds and that´s it. He vanish into the sky. I sad: Thank God the electro-magnatic "Michael Jackson" is gone for good. Horrible experience. Bad film.
Those you do not like or get the movie or those who feel it's stupid have one thing in common. They never grew up with a disability that made them the perpetual outsider. The one who was jeered at, constantly denigrated, beat up by groups (never just one person). In real life there is no Mary Steenburgen to stand up for them. In most cases the adults and authority figures turn a blind eye and in the worse cases join in.I do know. I grew up as a disabled person. I went through all the bigotry, ignorant taunts and carried the weight of the hate those around me felt for me, for some over which I had no control. Those people in my life and the same type here lack a important trait that makes us human, EMPATHY.
Not all love stories are guy-girl. This is just a huge human love story. And I LOVED it! Set the popcorn on refill mode and keep a keg of beer and a whole bunch of Kleenex at hand for the ending.First off, if Lance Henriksen reads the back of a toilet paper roll, sign me up and put me in the front row. The man delivers 110% to whatever role he is given. Period. Second, Ms Mary is a home girl, so props to her. Period. The rest of the cast I thought were superb. Again, period. This is a genuine feel-good movie and I highly recommend it.I am not going to give any spoilers for that would - spoil it. But let me say that as an avid movie watcher (older than most of you lot) this one had me hooked first to last. And I did not anticipate the ending though if I could it would have not been better. Go forth and enjoy!
This movie holds a very special place in my heart since I was young. Victor Salva, it seems, had at least one good story in him and this, though in some ways sappy, was certainly it. The treatment of the main character makes it hard to watch at times because it can feel very bleak and hopeless, but it is balanced out by the tenderness of the characters who do accept him and offer him hope and kindness. The acting is excellent in this film and the cast is to be commended for not turning the script into something sickly or too predictable. The ending brought me to tears and maybe felt like an easy way out, but it did feel appropriate. All in all, I'd suggest that anyone watch it at least once.
