I'm for the title of a movie I've seem some time ago. the movie could easily be 15 years old, but I'm not sure.

It's about a little boy, who has a sickness that keeps him small. He's around 12 years.
On school the boys tease him and his life kinda sucks, but he himself has got a faith.
He's telling all the time "I'm going to be a hero!" People don't believe him.

At a certain moment they have schooltrip and the bus get's in the water. Most of the children get out, including this boy, but a young boy is still in the bus and will soon be drown. Then this little boy jumps in again, and because he's so tiny, he can go through the window of the bus to rescue the boy.

He's very cold and lies in the hospital. Another girl comes to him and tells him that he's a hero. A few moments after that the kid dies.

Does anyone know this movie, or could you look for the title, I'm not sure if it's very popular know movie. Thanks in advance!

In my opinion it was kinda lame and really badly done ....

I can remember that I liked it, and IMDB gives it a 6.9, so enough reason to buy it

It sucks if you're someone who doesn't like to get in touch with his feelings every now and again, yes.

Looks like one of those films that touch people a lot, but this people say it sucks for not looking like sissies.

I thought...

... It's a Wonderful Life was touching.

... Cinema Paradiso was touching.

... The Pianist was touching.

... Simon Birch sucked.

I can't help with but agree with DG. I've been 'touched' by many films (I cried in Star Wars goddammit!) but Simon Birch was a really bad film! I mean, I'm like a serious christian as well, but still the movie sucked.

Nacho · Sun 27/11/2005 09:54:30

I haven't seen it...

But I can't avoid crying when the Ewoks'song enters and Star wars finishes... :'(

LGM · Sun 27/11/2005 14:48:09

Well it's been 5 years since I've seen it, but I do remember liking it. But maybe it does "suck."

vict0r · Sun 27/11/2005 15:51:47

I agree with DG. I've been touched by many movies, but Simon Birch really werent anything special.
