opening montage‚ in a wide angle shot of Boy’s caregiver‚ his Nan‚ leaving for a funeral in Wellington and Boy’s dialogue in voice over‚ “While she’s gone‚ I’m in charge”. Boy plays an important role of showing us the way of life that was accepted in 1984. This part of the film shows us that it was normal for kids to be self-reliant in the period of time they were living in‚ and to take on a lot of responsibility.
