Compassionate and Moving, 21 April 2006
10/10
Author: rfsavio from United States

This movie shows the depth of understanding possible for anyone but especially an adolescent male (Alan) when he has time and personal input upon which to reflect the plight and life of another.

In the beginning Alan is a typical young man of the 1940's and as he becomes involved with Naomi, albeit reluctantly at first, he changes his attitude toward a more compassionate and feeling understanding of this unfortunate girl.

The final scene on the hospital grounds when they sit on the bench and lean against one another speaks volumes about bonding, caring and spiritual and emotional love that only comes from true empathy.

A classic film, rife with emotion and a story that will endure.
