25 years? I can still remember the first time I saw that movie. I was 11 and overwhelmed by my schoolgirl crushes on all of the guys in the film. :) I watched the movie again recently to see if it still had the same impact on me. It did, but for different reasons. I am in my 30s now and I have two small boys. When I watched the movie as a young girl, it was for me alone. When I watched it again recently, it was like I was watching glimpses of my boy's future. They are so innocent now. Soft and sweet and boyish. But there will come a summer, like a summer in that movie, when they move from boyhood to adolescence. When they really embark on those first steps in becoming men. I loved the movie before I even knew how powerful it could be. It has taken on a new meaning and I love it all the more.
