Hey hey lets not give bits of the plot away I've still not seen it yet [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

It was based on the writers actual childhood and the situation in which he and people around him lived in, but dramatised (he didn't suffer quite as much as the characters did etc) according to what I read...so much of what is apparently in the movie/manga is actually based on fact...

Thats next on the list of stuff I have to watch [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
