You cant blend in when you were born to stand out! (taken from the film)

5 stars

03 Mar 2020

Of course I rated this a 5 star as it's amazing. All I can say is WOW!

This film is a lovely and sad film. It just shows however you look, you should just be happy to be alive. This film also shows how if stupid stuff like "Oh no the WiFi is down, I'm so unlucky" happens, all I would say if someone said that to me is, "You should just be happy to not be looked at wherever you go like August," as August does not get the opportunity all of us do and it just made me so sad when he was being bullied.

Also, I think one of the best bits of the film is when they say the phrase, "You can't blend in when you were born to stand out." After I heard this part in the film I kept thinking about it as it was so inspiring. Finally I love how it says he is just a normal kid and does normal ordinary things.

My conclusion!

My conclusion is it is a very good and sad film. If anyone watches this film I hope it shows how lucky they are. I recommend this film to some types of people. I don't think it's right for all types of people. Overall this is very good - that's why I rated this film 5 star.
