An amateurish sentimentality... thingy
I did not enjoy this movie because I believe it failed at being what it tried to be, which was an emotional piece that makes a person feel good after watching it (ie. a sentimental "feel-good" thing).
Casting aside most of my negative biases, I will proceed to write objectively why it failed at what it attempted to do.
Reason number one. It was extremely unrealistic, even corny. When the main conflict of a story is solved not by any concerted attempts of a character, but by divine miracles, then that story sucks.
Reason number two. It shows shallow cliche characters lacking human emotions. I did not feel for the wheelchair kid. Are you supposed to just because he's in a damn wheelchair? Saying that sympathy is required for a cripple is on the same level as pointing to a retard and laughing, "HAHA, look at the fucking retard! He is ugly!" It detracts from their humanity. To add to the cliche, the cripple becomes an athelete. Predictable. What's even worse is that he did not even work hard to achieve his goal of walking. The idealism is so crappy. Why don't you just wish for everything you want and it will come true? Oh and that girl who feels sorry for the kid is also cliche because she does not show any other side of her but pity and hope. To sum it up, you fail to bring out the humannissity (or humanity) of the characters.
Reason number three. There is a failure of human logic that really irked me, when the cripple could suddenly walk and the girl was feeling so happy for him. Normally one would immediately have a "Sham" sign flashing in her head! How dare you try to get my attention by posing as a disabled person! Either you didn't take that into consideration, or you purposely made her gullible/stupid.
Great attempt, though. I just did not like it.
