Hook. In a way it still holds up, but today
Ruffios death hits differently. I used to see him as the school bully who got mine of redeemed by sacrifice.
Now I just see a uncertain orphan, who does his best to lead a group and who is killed rather needlessly (and who is then kind of forgotten about soon after)
Also there’s a bit of lost innocence of my own faced with adulting life and the diminishing possibilities of fantasy.
Damn. I gotta rewatch Hook now. Haven’t seen it since I was probably a pre-teen, but I saw it so many times on VHS that I believe I’ll remember most of it. I definitely want to experience it again framed as an adult.

Today?
Ah, yes. Corrected the autocorrect
