Hearts in Atlantis Page #6

Synopsis: This is a gentle, innocent film about the reflections of an aging man, who returns to his home town after the death of his best friend. Memories of life at age 11 floods back as it was a magical time that changed his life. Three 11 year old children (Bobby, Carol, and Sully) share their lives. Carol and Bobby have a special affection for one another including sharing a kiss "by which all others will be measured". Bobby lives with his mother, a bitter, vain woman who looks for pleasures for herself without sharing much with her son. Into their lives comes a mysterious new boarder, who befriends the boy but generates distrust from the mother. As time passes, the man and boy share confidences and special powers are revealed. The man warns the boy to be on the lookout for the "lowmen", who were seeking him. The two share a summer's adventures and come to love one another before the inevitable happens. A confrontation with a school bully also changes everyone.

Bobby Garfield!
Hey!
I don't think you should be in there.
It's not safe.
I used to live here when I was a kid.
- Have you lived here long?
- Only my whole life.
Oh, wait a minute! Wait, wait, wait.
Was your mother...
...was she...?
Was she Carol, Carol Gerber?
- My mom's dead. She died years ago.
- I was sorry to hear that.
We never kept in touch
like we said we would.
My God.
You're the boy on the Ferris wheel?
- Mom told me about that.
- She promised she'd never tell anyone.
She said you were beautiful.
One of us was.
You can keep that, if you want.
I'm Bobby.
- Molly.
- Molly.
She had the heart of a lion.
I never heard from
Ted Brautigan again.
Not that I didn't think of him.
I always have...
...and always will.
Because that summer was the last
of my childhood.
And though I never again saw
what people were thinking...
...there was an enduring gift
that he left me.
What Ted did was open my eyes...
...and let the future in.
I wouldn't have missed a minute of it.
Not for all the world.
