love the film because the film has a clear and strong message about the revenge from the people
how Stole the dreams of these kids dreams and that effect in there their lives When they grownup and this is what made me feel bad and disappointment.

adapted from a novel that the same title of the film, the film has a good sequence of events and
was accelerated .The most prominent event in the film when he killed a man and that the moment
that change the event of the film.

Dramatic The dramatic part of the film is the characters that when the boys want to the
Wilkinson Home before they want to the Wilkinson Home the life It was beautiful and
wonderful and fun for kids because it is the most beautiful years of life. One of the kids John
how dream to become a clerk however, he a become a killer because of the bad and heinous
way that he in Wilkinson Home, not just for him also for his friend that ever their emotions
killed the did not the joy of life.

Cinematic The sound effect is also an important because it gives the film feeling of the
people, the sound effect in this film was really a amazing thing which make the movie more
stronger. The music type was mystery and sadness in some part of the movie and the music of
the film Won an Oscar prize for best Music. Actually I like the sound effect because it gives me
