Pay it forward

I never thought that a movie could affect me to tears, until I saw the movie Pay it forward. It’s a movie about a young boy desperately trying to save the world. After his teacher in social studies gave the class a message saying “If you have the chance to save the world, what would you do?” Trevor, a young boy in the class gets an idea. The point of the idea is to make a good thing for three other people. And then they do three good things for each three people, and so on, and after a while everyone is involved. There of the name of the movie Pay it forward.

His first project is to help a homeless person with money and a new start in life. Then he’s trying to play Cupid and make his teacher fall in love with his mother. His attempt to make the world a better planet is really touching and spreads out to the world with some help from a journalist who has been told about his project and makes an interview with Trevor. Later in the movie something goes wrong and when he is trying to stand up for a boy when two other boy is bullying him, and desperately trying to make them stop, one of the boys stabs him. They can’t save his life. But the world gives him the greatest present ever, they continue with his project. The movie is so touching and when the start to play the soundtrack Calling all angels I’m all in tears.


I don’t think I’ll ever watch a movie that will affect me like this movie. Since I was a young girl I have wanted exactly the same thing as the boy in the movie, make people care about each other, and make the world a better planet. So when I watched the movie for the first time I couldn’t stop thinking about it. And now I can’t count all the times I've seen it. In a strange way I actually think I’ll still love this movie in 20 years.

Even though I don’t know what the phrase “P.S I loved you” have to do with the other thing I’ve been written about, I think I have to answer the question. If I got a letter telling me that a friendship or a long love is over, and the sender wrote “P.S I loved you” in the end, then I must have done something really awful because I don’t believe you can stop love a person if it was true love or true friendship. I would never write that to another person, those words are to painful! To say “I love you” to someone is the greatest word you can use, and if you someday take it back, you shouldn’t have said it from the beginning.
