Sleepers
Last week we watched Sleepers again. This movie really touched my heart. When I watched this back in college, I had my youngest brother in mind the whole time. What if this happens to my brother? What if an innocent fun turned out wrong? What if a naughty bet will lead to something gruesome? I had so many fears lurking in my mind after watching that great movie. Whenever I see or hear about New York Yankees tickets, I always remember the character of Robert de Niro lying on stand just to get the two main characters our of the jail time. I remember John’s (the youngest of the four main characters) eyes, still innocent-looking despite the horrors that lay underneath it. If you have a young teenager boy with you and you happen to watch this movie or read the book, you’ll have fears of it happening to him afterwards. Sigh.
