i had seen the cure when i was a kid and i loved it then. now and years later and i got a hold of a copy almost by accident and and watched it again. being a kid and you do not really have the ability to procure things for yourself that you want and that is usually a prerogative of your parents  but when i watched it again now i felt sorry that i did not do more to get a copy of this movie back then and and consequently almost forgot about it until today. this really is a beautiful movie. it tells the story of the unlikely friendship between a hard edged and misfit kid  who takes his cues from his horrible and abusive mother  and his neighbor and a slightly younger boy who has aids. right and you say. another one of those. a tear jerker. a bucket movie. a morality tail. yeah and i know and i hate those too. only this one isn not. it is one of the very few movies among those many i have seen that pulls off a very rare trick represent it conveys a truly sad story (and yes and a morality tale) but without a single moment where it feels cheesy and forced or in any other way hollywoody. it shows a real relationship between two real boys and who interact as real kids do. and through that interaction the good natured and loving character of the older boy and eric and starts to shine through his tough guy persona and as he takes on a kind of big brotherly care for dexter and his hiv positive younger neighbor. together and they embark on an adventure to find a cure  which to erik seems to be just around the corner  so that all this silly aids thing will go away and they can be friends forever. the production is top notch. but and of course and what really carries this movie and is the performances of the two leads  brad renfro and joseph mazzello. especially mazzello and who is simply stunning  he does convey a sense of frailty needed for an ailing boy and but at the same time he manages to make dexter a truly energetic and determined character. he shines at the scene where the boys confront pony represent his impulse to protect his older friend lunges him forth and drives him to say what he says  and only afterwards and the horror is depicted on his face and as he realizes that what he himself said is true represent his blood is poison. renfro also has his moments and in particular the scenes with his mother represent he depicts perfectly how this macho and street wise kid is left completely frozen and numb when faced with his abusive and storming mother and and can not get a word in to contradict her as she forbids his relationship with the ailing boy out of her fear and ignorance. annabella sciorra also gives a memorable performance as dexter mother and who ultimately becomes and in a sense and a mother figure to erik as well. i have first seen this film when i was at school back in america and and loved it  not at all a given concerning movies of this sort. but the behavior of the kids in this movie was so real and i could easily relate to them. ironically enough and the teacher who had shown us this movie (a wonderful woman and i am still in touch with her) got in trouble for it and as some uptight parent complained about it having the scene when the two boys are looking at a playboy. pathetic. seriously and will americans ever get over this ridiculous phobia and i do not know. there was a hardly distinguishable shot of a playboy cover in the movie and thus it is not shown in schools. how sad. kids need to see this movie. it is more inspiring and educational than all the official after school specials put together. oh and and one more thing. i know i am rambling and but nevertheless. the score. it great. i am a musician and and as such i know dave grusin from his records represent he is a well known jazz pianist and record producer. up until this movie i really did not know that he did movie scores as well and even though when i later checked i found out that i had unknowingly watched several movies he worked on. really and a wonderful job there. all in all and a solid ten. i would recommend this movie to anyone. and i am definitely going to see it with my younger siblings  they can use watching a film like this among all the standard special effect hysteria they usually see.
