Some say that children are the most honest of us all. They don’t always know the difference between what is honest and what is brutally honest. The TV show “Kids Say The Darndest Things” was very positive for this exact reason but the reward with laughter or attention drives kids to perform outside of how they would typically act. The scene in this post shows that kids will perform instead of being honest because they want the attention. When the child that the film follows for a majority of the film starts “shooting” the ships with his arm cannon the other kid does not appear to have played that “game” before. He waits and watches our main actor to see what he is doing then copies his actions. This is the first hint in the scene that shows that these kids are acting even if it’s just in their own minds. Then if you continue to watch you will see that the kid grows tired of shooting the ships when he tells his friend “Enough. You killed ’em all.”. The kid that we’ve seen since the beginning of the show is willing to keep this performance going but his friend is not. The director chooses to show this interaction even though it may not be a common occurrence causing the film to lose some of it’s fly  on the wall approach.
