Movie review : Pay it Forward
The movie "Pay it forward" was released in 2000. This movie is for a general audience but I think it aims people who are thriteen years old and older.Catherine Ryan Hyde is the writer of this story and she wrote it in a novel released in 1999. The actors who play the main characters in the movie are Kevin Spacey, a thoughtful teacher, Helen Hunt, an alcoholic mother and Haley Joel Osment, a little child who is concerned about his family problems. They were all working together under the direction of Miriam Leder to make us think about how a single person can change the life of others. According to me, this movie made me realize that every single action that we do in life with good intentions can have a repercussion in our life or in other lives. Whether these consequences are good or bad, it's really important to make these little actions. So, as I already said there are three main characters in this story. This unique story is about an eleven year-old boy, named Trevor who tries to change the world as he can, by helping people. This boy started to do that, because his new teacher, Mr. Simmonet gave an appointment to his class to make them think about how they could change the world even though they are only children. The other main character is the mother of Trevor, Arlene McKinney who is struggling to make her life and the life of his son better. All these characters, with their secrets and their beliefs make a realistic movie, about actual problems. Far away, from the fairy tale, "Pay It Forward" is a movie about real life and people who struggle, people who cry, people who die, people who believe and people who smile. This is a movie that make you realize that people are people and that at the end of the line, what everyone does want, is happiness. Furthermore, the actors in this movie are really good. They are able to make you understand precisely how they feel. You can almost feel all their emotions, and this is a proof that they are doing their jobs really well. Haley Joel Osment is actually surprisingly good, despite his youth. To conclude, I hope that all these information on the movie "Pay It Forward" leave you with the idea of renting it and watching it right away!
