That's what kept going through my mind the entire film. Given the chance they would have turned a simple story of the life of child and sensationalized it beyond remorse. They would have given lines to an 11 year old that only 35 year old writers can come up with. They would have casted it box office draw. They would have cut 70% of the scenes and the other 30% would have been way over emphasized.
The beauty of this film is an innocence that allows us to revisit our childhood many times. Not by creating characters or particular circumstances to identify with, but through it's honesty. No formula available for a film like this. Sorry film students.
