  Io non ho paura

  by Bannan

  I discovered this after discussing with someone who found it accidentally on one day...then flipping through onto TLN..what should I find but this.
  
  The story itself is quite intriguing...and rather endearing.
  
  While playing outside one day with his friends, Michele loses his sister's glasses...and when going back to find them...he discovers something quite extraordinary.
  
  A shief of metal covers the ground, and when lifted up reveals a hole that conveys a body of a young boy hidden by blankets.
  
  Putting his fears in the backseat, he goes home to discover his father home and can't stop thinking about his astonishing discovery. Getting in trouble for running away for hours on end and making his parents worry Michele edges on towards the hole in the ground.
  
  Time and time again, he discovers the body of the young boy is not dead...but very much alive. He helps him by handing down fresh water, and spending 500 lira on some bread. After time, he becomes friends with this young boy and when getting home one time realizes that things aren't exactly as they seem.
  
  This becomes apparent, when his father's friend Sergio comes to visit...and his curiousity gets the better of him, when he hears things he shouldn't. His fears are confirmed when he learns that the local badboy in town Felice is sniffing around the hole as well.
  
  When his best friend, Salvatore, shows him a collection of toy cars his uncle sends him Michele asks him if he can have the one van Salvatore isn't fond of. After much deliberation, he tells the secret in exchange for the car. Thinking he could trust Salvatore with such a secret, Michele goes back to see the little boy and eventually carries him out of the hole to spend a day in the sun.
  
  Yet, once placing him back in the ground Michele gets caught by Felice. And Felice gets mad at him, throwing him to the ground and eventually leading him to his car where Salvatore sits. In exchange for that information, it seems Felice allows Salvatore to drive his car.
  
  When they get back, Michele gets his whole family in trouble. His mother tries to proteact him but ends up getting beat on by Felice...and when Michele tries to tear the man off his mother his father and Sergio come in to set things straight.
  
  The adults are not happy with his discovery, and send him to get sleep...telling him to forget the whole thing ..but he can't. As Michele can't stop thinking about Filipo, why's he's in that hole and why he can't come out of there. Again, his bond with the young boy gets him into trouble again and again once he tries to figure out what is the right thing to do in such a situation.
  
  
  This was a lovely interesting story about a young boy who learns what right and wrong is and what he chooses to do in such a situation. The acting was incredible, and I didn't mind the fact that it was subtitled at all. The music really set the theme for each scene as well, adding drama and a sense of intrigue at various times.

  Stunning story about a little boy who when doing what little boys do...discovers something he really shouldn't...and conquers his fears to do the right thing.
  
  I'm really quite surprised none of you flixsterlings has seen this...because you really, -really- should.
  
  Unless...you're not a fan of subtitles...but then you'd sorely be missing out on quite a stunning film!

  December Boys

  by Bannan

  Okay, I know what you're thinking 'What the hell is Harry Potter doing in the outback??" But seriously, you guys should give this a chance...I know not everyone would prefer such a film...but I really really really liked it.
  
  Yip, JBitBop...another aussie film that gets a shining gold start from moi. ;]
  
  Some background, perhaps?
  
  This is the story of Maps, Spit, Spark and Misty...four orphans who all happen to have been born in December. Because of this very fact is the basis of their friendship, all of them living in a catholic convent in the outback in about the 60s.
  
  They watch as other little boys get happily adopted into families, and silent seethe with jealousy...knowing deep within themselves that it'll never be them smiling with two new parents. Since it is their birthday, and the convent seemed to have set aside some money to take the boys on a holiday to LadyStar Cove.
  
  After a long road across the arid scenery, they finally get to the sea where they are welcomed by an older couple named Bandy and Skipper. While there, they swim, splash about, climb over the rocks and simply have a good time.
  
  When passing by towards the cove they come across a fair where the 'Fearless Forte' jumps his motorcycle through hoops of fire and death-defying stunts. Being in total awe of this, he discovers that this fearless biker lives just next door to the place they're staying. And meet the couple who are unable to have children, learning that they are looking into adopting one of the four as their own when their holiday draws to a close.
  
  Maps, being the oldest, doesn't seem to worry much about being adopted and instead sets his eyes upon a girl named Lucy.
  
  While the other three compete to show who would be the most likely candidate for adoption. Things happen that test their friendships and then the feelings of rejection seem to drive a bit of a rift between them.
  
  Eventually, these ties become stronger what with the various events that happen in the cove...where they learn what being a December Boy is really about.
  
  The scenery in this simply stunned me, it was vibrant and lively...drawing one further into this endearing story of a bamd of orphans. The acting in here was quite decent, as each Boy portrayed what their names meant behind their titles.
  
  To be honest, the story sort of reminded me of Les Choristes...so therefore anyone who enjoyed that type of story...would enjoy this as well.
  
  Good news avid bookfiends! It's a novel by Michael Noonan...which I have already added to my list as well.
  :]

  Not for all, but watch as the ties of four orphans are tested when various events come up when on holiday from the outback.
  
  What exactly...is the meaning behind being a 'December Boy' anyways?
  
  If not, how the hell are all of you?!

  t's wondrous what a hug can do.
  A hug can cheer you when you're blue.
  A hug can say, "I love you so," or
  "Gee, I hate to see you go."
  
  A hug is "Welcome back again," and
  "Great to see you! Where have you been?"
  A hug can soothe a small child's pain,
  And bring a rainbow after rain.
  
  The hug! There's just no doubt about it...
  We scarcely could survive without it!
  A hug delights and warms and charms
  It must be why God gave us arms.
  Hugs are great for fathers and mothers,
  Sweet for sisters, swell for brothers.
  And chances are your favorite aunts
  Love them more than potted plants.
  
  Kittens crave them; puppies love them;
  Heads of state are not above them.
  A hug can break the language barrier
  And make your travels so much merrier.
  
  No need to fret about your store of 'em;
  The more you give, the more there's more of em!
  So stretch those arms out without delay,
  and GIVE SOMEONE A HUG TODAY!
  THIS IS SOOOOOOO TRUE
  
  SUPER!!DOOPER!!HUGGGSSSSSS :)
