the cure (1995) movie
Wednesday, August 29th, 2007Couple days ago i seen a movie called "the cure"…it was a simple story that told ’bout friendship between 2 kids which named Erik (Brad Renfro) and 11 years old-Dexter (Joseph Mazzello). i found the movie tags told "Two boys found a way to make one summer last a lifetime" (wasn’t it touching you so…
). the story flown easly and bit touchy. dexter, the youngest one, had AIDS living inside his tiny body, and they both were trying to found the cure for him. until one day, erik’s mother forbide him to play with dexter ‘coz he got AIDS. when they read that a doctor in distant New Orleans claims to have found a cure for AIDS, the boys leave home on their own, planning to float down the Mississippi river and find him. and they start their journey. what was touching me, when one night in their escaping journey, dexter told to erik that he was afraid to some moment when he woke up, all things around was fade to black. he told that the univers was dark and pointless with no end…he was afraid the moment he woke and everything seems dark, mean he lost in space…alone and hopelessly. and that moment, erik gave him one side of his dirt old shoes to hold on while he slept that night…so, when he woke up and everything was dark, he knew he still hold that stink-dirty shoes…and he knew that he still woke on earth, with erik beside to watch over…dexter died by the end of the movie. erik gave his dirt-old shoes when dexter laid on his coffin (reminded to the moment when dexter told his fear before)…
