Maybe not "heavy", but Seventh Grade will help you understand kids.
Oh, and Kids is heavy and will help you understand different kids

Wow. So there are *two* of us out there who know this movie?
3. But I remember it being a cute movie not particularly heavy? I saw it as a kid--was it over my head?

I just sat there in silence when the movie was over. I couldn't believe it was a true story.
Remarkably touching. If it wasn't real you'd find it unbelievable.

Into the Wild: Everything about this film is tragically beautiful until the end, which is just tragic. The soundtrack is amazing. Kudos to Eddie Vedder for fully absorbing the story. I am always fascinated by the analysis of mothers on this film: people are either so incredibly angry at Alex or sad but u destabilize ding. I have not polled dads.
Wow can’t type tonight. That was meant to be ‘sad but understanding’

I hate this movie. I think it is vile and I made it though once and could not get it out of my head. It makes me physically ill. I remember looking up the purpose or meaning and seeing that it’s really about trying to reform someone and how that doesn’t work or some crap. I just thought it was truly depraved.
That's the point of it - rampant violence and what to do with youth who commit it.
^ Keep in mind that Anthony Burgess wrote this book in the 60s, so it was a bit prescient as to where society is today: Incredible acts of violence committed against the innocent for no reason. Just saw a case on the news where a 30-year-old man beat the living hell out of a 71-year old man and left him for dead on the street - all because the old man didn't move fast enough when the traffic light turned green.

Not a movie but the season of the Wire about the kids
In both instances they just do such a good job of displaying how innocence and opportunity are stolen from kids based on where or how they grow up. It just made my heart so profoundly sad.
