The Crush

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."

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.

This is a love story of a little boy. He falls in love with his teacher, who has a fiancé. One day, the boy calls him out. What will happen? To be honest, I hate the boy. I know he is little but I feel pity for the fiancé. When the boy sees the man, he is crushed and angered because the fiancé seemed a bit insensitive towards her. The story is easy to understand because the boy frankly expresses his feelings. I cannot understand her feelings, though. The acting and direction are very good. Many people will think the ending is a happy one and it certainly is. However, I did not feel happy. I do not hate this film, though.

I still remember my first crush; it was in the first grade, and her name was Ms. Heather. I especially loved her smile, and she was probably in her forties still quite lovely. I even condoned her act of slapping my friend, even though her nails hit his eye and he began weeping. To me she was a cherished rose; even in the second grade, I used to smile at her whenever I passed by her class. Then it stopped, I don't remember when.

The Crush has happened with many boys, and it is usually the class teacher. But most, probably all, ended with it being a mere memory once they have been promoted to the next grade. The movie however takes a different approach to the storyline and it is not completely implausible – many such cases do pop up in the newspapers. However, the explanation offered in the end by the short is bewildering; I think the boy would have to be super-intelligent to think of such a scheme. I am not going to disclose the ending here, but up till then, the movie does work fine. I especially loved the scene in which the kid uses a swear word and instantly apologizes to his teacher. Another good thing was to have such close shots during the scene, similar to western films. The boy however should have been in the third or fourth grade as that is when, I feel many boys are fascinated by guns and such things.

I will not denounce the entire movie because of the ending, because it is a good watch, especially during the confrontation. Also, the acting is competent, especially Rory Keenan. The ending does dampen the effect though, and the 'ball rolling' scene looked silly.

My Rating: 6.5 out of 10

The Crush is a romance film.

A boy in an elementary school loves his teacher.

He gives her a toy ring. However, one day, he meets a teacher with her fiancee in the town. Her fiancee is a bag guy, and The boy thinks he does not deserve her. The boy challenges the fiancee to a duel...

The boy is cute and The boy's actions are very good, I was fooled by his actions in this film.

The teacher does not realize that his fiancee is the bad guy. Only the boy knows, I think a pure heart can see the truth sometimes. This film taught me it. The boy's first love is cute, but It's also a bit of a heavy first love. I recommend it.
