Garrett Dalton-Millions

The movie Millions follows two boys who come upon a treasure of sorts and the ethical dilemma that faces them. The main character Damien and his brother move to the country with their father after the recent death of their mother. The family is seeking a new start away from the memories of the past. Damien is a very religious boy and often has visions of saints while playing in his "fort" located nearby train tracks. One day a large black bag lands on Damien's home away from home, destroying it entirely. Damien is of course shaken, but to his surprise, the bag is filled with hundreds of thousands of British pounds. Damien believes the money to be a sign from God and wants to give it away to the poor. His brother on the other hand wants to use the money to make a better life for the family. The movie is filled with interesting characters and events that portray the precocious minds of a young boy. The movie has ethical undertones that seek to show the conflict between doing what is right and doing what is wrong.
