This is a first, and it is not some entertaining movies but a movie about the struggles of a (disfigured) boy facing school bullies. But I find that the movie was playing it safe. Firstly, the bullying in the movie was rather mild. I am sure IRL it was much worse. Secondly, the "disfigured" features of the character is IMHO, reflects 30% of how the IRL boy looks like. However, I do understand that if they were to drum up his disfigured features, the movie might not sell, and there might not be as much empathy derived from the public, which may then defeat the purpose of the movie. So, they've got to find a sweet-spot trying to get the message across as well as sell the movie so that its message gets a chance to be heard.
A2 loves avocado. I had my hit and miss moments too until the veggie seller told me how to pick avocados. To check if it is ripe, use your finger to remove the little top part of the avocado. If it is easy to flick off, the avocado is ripe.
