The little boy (Haley Joel Osment) was murdered. Too damn sad for me. :cry:

On edit:
Did you see the end then? You meant "How could that happen?" Or something along those lines? Sorry, should have read more carefully :P

17. Another boy at his school.
The one at the beginning who Haley Joel Osment saw sneaking a knife past the metal detectors. This bully stabs Haley while he was trying to defend his friend from the bullies.

14. You HAVE to give a spoiler alert.
I hate when someone gives away the end without warning anyone. Geez.

19. The movie's been out for years.
It's not like there hasn't been time for others to see it.

Jeez. If a movie is being discussed that has been out for some time, there are bound to be some spoilers.

4. No I haven't
but it certainly dumped an annoying phrase into today's lexicon

10. Annoying phrase, yes. Too bad, because it's a fabulous philosophy
to live by.

6. Yes
I was really upset about the end. I didn't think that they would actually kill him off. I was really hoping for a happy ending.

11. I thought it was based on a true story and that's what happened.
I could be wrong though.:shrug:

20. Maybe. It's amazing that a film studio had the courage to
kill the boy at the end. Usually that sort of stuff gets wiped out after focus groups.

9. Yep. As Mrs. V. would say, it was
a real "cheap shot." Good movie, though.

16. I saw it on a Greyhound bus to Maine.

I loved the concept of "Pay It Forward" and was enjoying the movie, but the end ruined it for me and I ended up not liking the movie. I hate it when that happens and the end ruins what could have been a perfectly good movie. :-(

22. I love that movie.
Pay It Forward is a spectacular way to live one's life.

And, I love that song at the end "Calling all Angels". Makes me cry every time.
