I’ll Fix Anthony (1991)
This film is about a young child who feels overshadowed and teased by their older brother, Anthony. The child, who is currently younger than six, fantasizes about all the things they will be able to do when they turn six, imagining a future where they will be superior to Anthony in every way. These fantasies range from athletic achievements and academic prowess to social popularity and even physical dominance. Ultimately, the child anticipates a time when they will finally “fix” their older brother and assert their own importance.
