Yesterday evening, I watched a movie called The Goldfinch. Have you watched it?

The movie is a little sad but the ending is very good. The story is about a boy growing up. When he was a child his mom died and his father has gone with another woman. His childhood was very dangerous and poor. Then, he had a little luck. He met a friendly person who adopted him and allowed him to live in his home until he was grown up. I think the story is very interesting and there are some twists.
