Pay it forward
Trevor is a young boy, who, following his Teacher Simonet’s (Kevin Spacey) suggestion, wants to change the world.
He created an idea that consists of helping 3 persons; each person has to “pay it forward” and help 3 other persons ans so on. He helped a homeless, his professor and a friend; and soon, people were helping each other. Within some months, this philosophy reached Los Angeles…
I thought whether it were true, the world would go better than what it is; if people were helping anyone who needs help, just to keep their promises, and the only thing they ask about is to “pass it forward”, that would certainly change the world!

Some quotes
Jerry: You ever been on the street?
Arley: My mom took us pretty close.
Jerry: Well, you can’t know. Not until you look at a dumpster. But when you climb into that thing for the first time and you pull those newspapers over you, that’s when you know you’ve messed your life up. Somebody comes along like your son, and gives me a leg up, I’ll take it. Even from a kid, I’ll take it.
Chris: You want me to drive home in your car?
Thorsen: No, I want you to take my car. Had a lot of luck lately. I don’t need it.
Chris: You’re giving me a brand-new Jaguar, and you don’t want anything?
Thorsen: I can prove it. Give me your card.
[Chris gives Thorsen a business card]
Thorsen: I’ll be in touch.
Chris: Whoa, what is this? What, you want me to kill your wife or something?
Thorsen: No. Tempting, but no. Call it generosity between two strangers.
