Movie Reviews of Nature of Nicholas | 2003 | NTSC Region FreeMovie Review: Identity, Maturity, Friendship, Attraction and Death Summary: 4 Stars
These are the key themes of "The Nature of Nicholas:" (Sexual) Identity, Maturity / Growing Up, Friendship, Attraction and Death. Nicholas is a rather serious-minded, 12-year-old boy who is infatuated with his friend Bobby (also 12). He wants Bobbie to notice him, but Bobbie is more interested in girls and parties. Nicholas is jealous, afraid of his feelings and lives in a world that ebbs continually between reality and fantasy. After he makes the bold move of stealing a kiss with Bobby, Nicholas realizes that he has created a monster. This monster is personified as a sick/dying Bobby who clings to Nicholas for life and friendship. Soon we see Nicholas' deceased father, a soldier, returning to his son in visions. He seems to be manipulating Nicholas' world and all the people in it. Nicholas struggles between what is real and what is the creation of his own mind and of his own fears. What is he trying to keep and what is he afraid to let go? It is a fascinating film.
