For Diego

Like I told Kate C. below, movies are wonderful resources because they are so chalk full of well-executed imagery and themes. I think Son of Rambow relates to the whole "childhood" aspect of your concept. Of course it does deal with actual kids, but the shenanigans they get into reminded me of the games Kate and Mel were describing during your crit. I really recommend watching any sort of boyhood (coming of age) movie, from the classics like THE GOONIES to modern ones like Son of Rambow or even Hesher (although that is much darker).
