***Hub : Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.***
Hub has good advice for the kid, and for all of us.
I have a group of boys who are virtually non-readers. A group of rough kids from troubled backgrounds. We viewed this movie. They were required to write from a choice of prompts... Good writing from all. They loved this movie.
