b. Climax
When the
boys read an article in a tabloid about a doctor in distant New Orleans
who claims to have found a cure for AIDS, they set out on their own down the
Mississippi
River in the hope of finding a means
of saving Dexter's life. The boys start
taking a boat down the river with a group of degenerates, but eventually they
steal their money (as they were never treated well by the group) and try to
join in the rest of the way. When the boatmen find that their money has been stolen,
they locate the kids at a bus station and
chase them until they reach a dead end in a dilapidated building. Erik
draws a switchblade, causing one of the men to draw a knife as well. Dexter
suddenly grabs the knife from Erik, and cuts his hand to cause himself to
bleed. He threatens the boatman with his blood, saying that he has AIDS and
could easily transfer the disease to him (the boatman has open wounds on his
arm as a result of an injury received when chasing the boys). Then, Dexter chases the boatmen off, threatening them with
his bleeding hand. Once the two men are gone, Dexter realizes what he has done
in directly exposing his blood to the outside environment. He suddenly feels
sick, so Erik brought him back to the
bus station. Realizing that their journey must end if Dexter is to be treated,
Erik resorts to calling Linda to have her pick
up the boys when they arrive on the bus in Stillwater.
Once they
return, Dexter spends his rest time in
the hospital. Erik stays with Linda, for he afraid his mother be angry with
his, but she will not let him visit Dexter in the hospital. Dexter and Erik
prank the doctors three times that Dexter's dead. But when the third doctor
arrives to check him, Dexter really is dead. While driving Erik home, Linda notices
a mother holding her young child while crossing the street. With the child
serving as a reminder of Dexter, she pulls over and breaks down crying. Erik
apologizes to her, saying that he should have tried harder to find a cure.
Linda, taken aback by his comment, embraces Erik, explaining that he was the
happiest thing in Dexter's difficult life. Upon arrival at home, they are
confronted by a furious Gail. When Gail starts to hit Erik, Linda quickly
intervenes and asks to talk to her privately.
c. Ending
The ending
this movie is sadness. Dexter pass away and Erick didn’t have a bestfriend.
They have a beautiful story about a friendship. Once inside Linda's home,
Gail's anger backfires when Linda pins her against the door and angrily and
tearfully tells her about Dexter's death and that Erik is going to the funeral.
She ends with threatening to kill Gail if she ever hits Erik again and to which
Gail guiltily complies.
At the
funeral, Erik places one of his shoes in the coffin and takes one of Dexter's
to let sail down the river (as earlier in the trip when Dexter's having
nightmares, Erik told Dexter to hold one of his sneakers as a reminder that
he's always by his side). This way, the shoes represent the boys' souls and
their will to live.
