this almost documentary look at an enterprising boy who live in the body shop area outside of new york be real all the way . real lighting . real sound . less edit in the whole movie than in 1 minute of most movie . and while there be very little script and there be a story . shot in primary color and almost all red and white and blue and yellow and we get a real sense of the life of a boy who be make something from nothing . he have a place to live that he make his own and have a good job and and be try to bring his sister into his little universe . the people in the chop shop area also give u a look at this culture which i do not know about . they mostly seem decent and pay ale what seem like daily and seem truly concern about his well be . the actor ( i think ) play ale say more with one facial expression than one can imagine . this remind me what a true small movie can accomplish . it show what kid be capable of and even without much support and love . definitely recommend .
