One of the most difficult ethical questions society faces is this: what do we do with children who have killed?

I really enjoyed the movie because in a lot of cases, there is no second chances given but in this case, the boy was given a second chance. What happened in this childhood, maybe he shouldn't have done but it all happened in that one moment. I felt that the boy was really guilty and in a way I didn't feel bad for him because what he did, he shouldn't have been given a second chance, however, as he was young when the crime took place, then I believe that his whole life shouldn't be ruined. What I really enjoyed about the movie was that the boy was given a new life so that he wouldn't be judged based on his past, that he was given a new life/start. However, as he is given a new life, it is not long before his past catches up with him as he isn't able to adjust in with all the people. It shows how difficult it can be to fit in with people after being put into prison from a really young age. The lighting and visual story was really good but at some parts of the flash backs, it wasn't really clear enough that it was a flash back. As the story moves along, it becomes more clearer than they are flashbacks. That is one thing I would have changed about the movie, that the flashbacks should have been more clearer, in saying that, everything else was very well played out and I really liked the whole plot. From the start, I didn't think I would feel bad for the boy as he had committed a crime but in the end, I really did. It was a sad movie and it was really upsetting but other people could say otherwise...
