"The Crush" is a love story. A boy is in love with a woman, a teacher. So he proposes to her by giving her a ring. She thinks he is joking and says something that makes him accept her engagement. When he goes out on holiday, he sees her dating a guy. The boy tells the man that I am the one who deserves her. The next time he sees her at school, he finds her wearing a different ring and asks her about it. The boy challenges the man to a duel. How will the duel end?
I like the story of this movie very much. The child's pure love is really very extreme and he challenges the man to a duel. I think that until the middle of the film, you don't take any action and just end up thinking. It is the kind of movie that makes you wonder if such a story exists somewhere abroad. The film has a very tense scene at the end. I like horror movies and I love tense movies, so I like this movie too.
This movie will not be sympathetic to many people. But as a fiction I find it very interesting. You should see it once.

A boy's dream is to marry his elementary school teacher. He gives her a ring and tells his love, but she has a fiancé. The boy meets the rival, and decides to fight a duel.
No one thinks the young student can marry his teacher, even if he has a crush on her seriously. So, at first, I think the story is funny and fantastic. I like the scene that he writes down his wish for marriage as a plan in 2015. He looks very pure and cute for me. Generally speaking, a child gets more serious when he is treated as a child or ignored by grown-ups. The boy in the film is not an exception, and he acts in an excessive way. I have to admit that the story is serious, not only fantastic.
The message in the film is "Don't make light of children."

The movie was nominated the Oscar Awards.And this movie is a well-received movie all over the world.In the movie,the hero is young and he is a elementary school student.He uses a gun,and fires a gun to a man who the boy have grudge against.So, I felt very horrible.Even if a boy is young in USA, he can have guns.It is very dangerous.I was surprised that he shoots a gun and he pretends to kill the man by the gun,because of trifling matters.In the result,by doing this,the man does not stop to marry.I was surprised at the boy's vitality.In addition,in the movie,the backgrounds are very dark and songs are used little.I got the impression that the movie was not calm.But,there are a great deal of substance in the movie. Therefore,I believe that the movie is very nice and I would like to watch again and want to recommend this to everybody.
A quite disturbing short when all is said and done. A kid falls in love with his teacher and asks her to marry him, later on discovering that the teacher is supposed to marry her boyfriend.
The story line starts off as something that everyone is used to: a kid 'falling in love' with his teacher because she's the only one that truly gives him attention. The short seems to follow the sweet but unattainable crush of the kid, but it suddenly takes a turn for the worst when we are showed just what the intentions of the kid are.
It has two plot twists, one that makes us terrified, and another one that leaves us with a misplaced feeling. The short is an excellent example of how to twist the plot to play with the audience, and it's really good to see some disturbing themes with which all of your expectations are shattered.

When I watched this film, I felt that this movie was exaggerated, shocking, but funny. A school boy falls in love with his beautiful teacher. He tries to tell her how he feels by giving her a toy ring and writing a love letter. When the boy sees her fiancé, the boy is disappointed and gets angry. The boy loves his teacher and tries to make the proposed match break off, so he challenges the fiancé to a dual. During the dual, you can see the scene that a little boy holds a gun. You find it surprising and shocking. You never know the ends of the story until you watch the film. This movie results in an unexpected turn of events, so you should check it out. The school boy is probably still under ten, but so manly and brave that I want to follow the example of him. If I were a girl, after just watching the movie, I would take to him.
