Coral Andrews Chronicle Special > fAly. Each night he perches on the window sill and makes a silent wish fervently hoping for that day. _ â€" I o â€" Millie Michaelson is a normal teenager who needs to believe in a little magic, and needs to believe in herself. _ _ â€" â€" Togethzr Millie and Eric discover a rare friendship, trust, beauty, and love in The Boy Who Could Fly, now at the Cinema. _ _ The Boy Who Could Fly written and directed by Nick Castle leaves you with the same warmth and good feeling that last season‘s One Magic Christmas did. It‘s the story of the Michaelson family Charlotte (Bonnie Bedelia) who must return to work after a 15year absence to deal with automation, junior mercenary Louis (Fred Savage) a pintâ€"sized Buddy Hackett with his smartâ€"aleck oneâ€"liners, and Millie (Lucy Deakins) a fullâ€"fledged romantic, awkward but eager to be acceptâ€" But like the boy next door, the three have lost their spirit. Together they must pick up the pieces left after father Donald Michaelson commits suicide after learning he has a terminal disâ€" ease. The Michaelsons find life a struggle, with integration into their new neighbourhood a pain in the neck, Louis can‘t even get around the block on his GlJoe tricycle without being bullied by punks. . â€" To help the situation.'Eric is considered a looney ‘with the brains of a goldfish‘ when all he really wants is understanding and a good friend. t â€" He is frequently institutionalized due to lack of proper home care. His only relative is Uncle Hugo (in a wonderful cameo by Fred ‘Herman Munster‘ Gwynne) an absentâ€"minded alcoholic, who thinks nothing of his nephew teetering on the rooftop. Never mind pink eleâ€" phants. Colleen Dewhurst is Mrs. Sherman, a stolid, goodâ€"natured teacher and Eric‘s guardian, who asks Millie to help her when she sees Eric‘s blossoming interest in his young schoolmate. The story progresses to a beautiful camaraderie between Eric and Millie and a sweet lesson for anyone who has ever had a lifelong dream or secret desire. The'Boy Who Could Fly shows the similarity between autistic and normal existence, with love the common deneminator. â€" _ Jay Underwood is compelling as Eric, an innocent, wayward youth who finds love and trust in Millie. Lucy Deakins as Millie is vibrant and natural. Both create a tender delicate chemistry. The film holds no overwhelming impact, no spectacular climax, no razzle dazzle conclusion. The Boy Who Could Fly is a gentle film with an earnest message. A gentle film with a message Sometimes you need a little magic to believe in. When the world closes in, mind and spirit can be a powerful ally.
