Once Young
About This Novel
The representative work of the winner of the Canadian Governor General's Literary Award and the Canadian National Magazine Award. A unique and classic case of family education, a touching experience of two generations growing up together. David discovered that his son Jesse was no longer interested in everything about high school life. David was so distressed that he finally made a difficult decision to let Jesse drop out of school and go home. The only condition was that they watch three movies together every week. A special "movie club" was born. The 400 Blows was the first movie we showed. At the end, the young man slowly looked back at the camera. "He looked worried," Jesse said. By this time he was no longer going to school and was thinking about where his life would lead. I know that movies cannot give him a systematic education, but it allows us to spend hundreds of hours together, chatting about all kinds of topics. One day he will grow up and no longer need the movie club, and to some extent he will no longer need me...
