The movie Pay It Forward was released on October 20th,
2000. The main charactor, Trevor, is played by Haley Joel Osment. His mom is played
by Helen Hunt. The director of the movie’s name is Mimi Leder. The movie was inspired
by a book with the same title. The book was written by Catherine Ryan Hyde. It was
adapted into a movie by Leslie Dixon.
Summary :
The story is about a boy who’s troubled because his mother
is an alcoholism and his father, who is now absent in his life, used to be abusive.
Trevor, the 12-year-old boy is entering Middle School. His teacher, Eugene give
a special assigment to the class; they need to help three other people. They do
it in hope that those three people continue the chain. It’s supposed to bring peace.
Althought Trevor realize that the task isn’t as easy as he thought it would be.
He starts to realize that real life is harder than his young pre-teenage years.
In my opinion, this movie has a good moral but I thought
that it was boring because, overall, there isn’t a lot of action. Instead, the movie
is focusing on Trevor’s mom problem with alcohol and Jerry, the homeless man. Plus,
I think that there are a lot of exageration. Trevor is twelve years old, not eight.
He has a violent man and he still bring a homeless man in his house even though
he doesn’t know anything about that poor man. Also, at the end of the movie, Trevor
get killed by an other kid at school. I know that this situation is possible but
I thought that it was way to sad. He could have been only injured, death is a
bit too much.
An other thing I didn’t like; it’s always the same
song playing in the background for the whole movie!
