Why are all the actors so much older...


Than their characters? I may have completely misunderstood it in the book, but Jonas is a twelve. Does that not mean he's twelve years old?

That's what confused me LOL. This kid was like what, 24 when this movie was filmed and the youngest he looks is 16. 12 year olds are children, not teenagers or adults. I don't understand this but maybe they just had to adjust it so it could work in modern cinema?

In the film they're suppose to be 16
