It was a vey touching film that brought more and more tears to my eyes as the boy continued his journey. At first I thought that the boy was visiting his real parents and I figured he had been adopted by the first lady in the film. I thought that perhaps they had given him up because they could not afford to take care of him although they still loved him.
However, when he came to visit, when the man and woman first saw him they did not rush over to him and embrace him as you would expect loving parents to do. Also, the conversation in the kitchen seemed slightly awkward instead of warm and inviting, so this gave me a clue that they couldn't be his parents.
Then, later in the film, the boy was given a tour of a little boy's room which I thought to be his. However, it didn't make much sense that he would be given a tour of his own room if he was their son and there were pictures of a boy that looked nothing like the first boy.
At this point in the film I was baffled as to why he had visited these people and who he was to them. I started getting more of a clue when the wife bent down to listen to the boy's heart. That was a strange gesture even if he was their son, but the boy didn't seem bothered by it and didn't look awkward when was listening.
Finally, the note was read and it made sense and all my questions were answered. Passing Hearts is one of my favorite films that have been shown in class. Even though I just about cried because of it, this film is one of my favorites because it is so touching. I love the mystery to the film, how they didn't tell you straight away what was going on and why he was visiting these people. It kept me intrigued and interesting in finding out why this was happening.
Here is a heartwarming movie that brought me to tears as well:
(a little sad but very wonderful)
