The main character of Orion and the Dark is a little youngster who fears many things, including the dark. Charlie Kaufman writes with a juvenile viewpoint that is appropriate without being condescending, and his openness is remarkable. His work also fits the description of an 11-year-old who is incredibly smart yet afraid to death. There’s an authentic element to the story that creates a deep emotional connection with the observant and intelligent Orion. You guys can check out free movies with Soap2day.
