Heartwarming & Affecting
15 January 2008
It's a really really good story and I strongly recommend it to those who haven't had as much a brilliant childhood as his playmates.It aroused in me a feeling of warm mixed with a little sympathy.I feel warm when I saw a three-member family (dad,a son,and a daughter) living together in love and harmony.I can feel them exactly the same way.That's probably because I had a childhood somewhat alike with little Tommi.

There is a typical father who ,being unsuccessful in his business, have an inconstant temper,kindly but sometimes fractious.He want to bring up his son more like a man.He himself is a real man,of course.However his hard-nosed character and a wrong sense in woman failed him now and again.So,it's not difficult to see that he want to inject his unfulfilled dream into his son's mind.What a typical thought!

It's not hard for anyone to feel little Tommi when he put a scrip with "I love you" in a girl's bag,when he climb up to the ridge of his apartment and shoot a neighbor with a slingshot,and when he is so happy playing with his mom in a pleasure ground.

I think the director also want to put emphasis on child education.It's common problem for many fathers that you want him to become a swimming champion but he just does not show the least interest in it.
