I saw this movie long ago and I've been looking for it forever. It's not the best film, but it has something that makes it appealing, different. Tim deals with his terrible life, fantasizing he's a hero, and saves the day. Nothing new, so far. But the way the story is told and the simple, yet full of details, performance of the actors (i.e. the main character) makes it angrily haunting. I enjoy the way the "fantasy" part is integrated with the "real part" as if we were always witnessing the kid's mind. It's hard to tell whether it's really happening or he's daydreaming again... until something off-the wall happens. I think beyond the "moral" of the story, the plot is "realistic" enough to be considered for a "debate" class. The ending (no spoiler) is one of the most honest I've seen in a long time. After watching it I was "shocked" for a while.
