He's similar to Dean but goes through a little bit more of a transition, ... At the beginning, he is very closed-in and isolated, but then he finds his gun [and names it] Wendy ù which he basically falls in love with. And it's called 'Dear Wendy' because he is writing these letters to the gun all the time. And he finds that this gun makes him become more powerful, and he kind of becomes a bigger person ù he can look people in the eye and becomes a lot more confident and things like that. And then, really, what the film takes on is about people finding their inner self.  -   Jamie Bell     Quotes
