this movie try to say something profound while i be just not sure what it be . too much be leave unresolved in the end for me to figure out the main point . a couple scene really have me wonder what be leave on the cutting room floor . i do not think the wall be very well develop i never get what be actually go on there . when the mother finally unveil it i just couldn not make any connection to the boy silence . what be the point of the boy not talk . be he just delusional or do he acquire some sort of power . what be the scene with the burnt girl all about . another power the boy have or what . i do not understand how that develop any character or move the plot . i get the bully bit but what happen to the dog . do the dog come back or do mom get rid of fido for good somehow . there be several additional plot element that be more clutter than use . like the radio talk show in the background discuss the iraq war . i think that be suppose to create some sort of comparison to the grief and insecurity the mother and addison be experience but for me it be distract and strain . i do not buy the link very much . i also find the teacher get on addison about not say here for roll call a bit much . the mom see the doctor be pointless and how do it serve the plot . be that to show how desperate the mother be get and or be it something about the medicine that i do not get . be that the dad come back in the last scene and or just some guy . so do write on the wall work . what happen to the dog .
