本片神似Matt Damon《心靈捕手》,同樣是講述墮落街頭的天才少年的救贖之路。關於劇情,有這樣幾點想法:
1.只要不染毒,離家出走的少年生活在紐約真的很快活啊。
Jim:Luckily, finding money in New York is like getting laid on the prom, easy.
Mickey:I get 1500 bucks for this car.
Pedro:We should buy shit in bulk, man. We'll put it on the street and make real money.
Mickey:We'll be on for days, nights, weeks.
Pedro:I'd love to go to Puerto Rico, soak up some rays…
2.舊友Neutron打進了全國聯賽、收到名校offer,而同為19歲的Mickey獲刑五年,Jim在拘留釋放後詩歌作品大獲成功,Pedro仍在街頭掙扎…
3.事實上,假如媽媽真的這麼年輕溫柔,前期母子互動又這麼可愛,現實中Jim是不太可能離家出走還大罵f*和bitch的。
