What's Eating Gilbert Grape

I watched the DVD "What's Eating Gilbert Grape."

Synopsis

Set among the fictional working class one street town Endora and centered around the Grape family Ellen and Amy and two brothers Arnie and Gilbert along with their morbidly obese widowed mother Bonnie Grape are striving to survive and coexist with the absence of a father figure, low wage work and seventeen-year-old Arnie's severe mental condition. Gilbert (Johnny Depp) has to constantly take care of his younger brother, Arnie played to such depth and conviction by a very young Leonardo DiCaprio. Gilbert's life, his future, is thwarted and he knows this, but his love and bond for Arnie cannot, and will not, be let go. That is until the free spirit of Becky (Juliette Lewis) arrives in town, and with her grandmother are stranded for the week while waiting for parts for their vehicle.

It was a touching movie and makes you wonder about people out there living like this. Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp are so young.
