I just love this movie. I've seen it soooo many times.
It was on tv again yesterday and I watched again.
The fact that Leonardo Dicaprio can play such a role at 16 (or was he 15?) really shows he has REAL talent, unlike most of the young actors in Hollywood at this point...
And well...Johnny Depp, Juliette Lewis.... they're all great really.
And I love the music. And it always always makes me cry.
Especially the scene with Arnie in the bath the whole night because he can't wash himself and Gilbert wasn't there. it's so sad.
and when the mom dies and they burn down the house
I love the scene when Arnie climbs the tower (the first time he does it) and Gilbert gets him down by singing "Match in the gas tank. Boom boom".
discuss this wonderful movie
