This story is inspiring and intense. Adolescence is trying time of change, uncertainty, growth and confusion. All of these elements are represented in this story. I would say that this movie gives parents an opportunity to open a discussion with there adolescent child about many of the issues that they will be experiencing in the coming years and how as parents we can be a guiding hand even as we begin to let go. This story takes a shocking turn but that only adds to the intensity of the underlying message.

What a wonderful film for kids to see in this day and age!
Everytiem I see this fine coming of age film I am more impressed with the lesson it can show to pre-teens and teens of our time. Although what was "racy" in 1959 seems timid today, the lessons of being yourself, valuing education, repsecting others and having faith in yourslef are timeless.
