I didn't know this movie was based on a short story by Ray Bradbury until a couple of years later when I read the story. But that's not why I remember this film. I saw it in my 6th grade reading class. It's about a group of kids who live on Venus where it rains all the time. The sun comes out only once for an hour every seven years. I won't say any more about what happens, but if you've seen it, you know how it ends. When the end credits started rolling, everyone in the classroom started laughing. I wondered why until I looked over and saw one girl crying. I then laughed too. It was hilarious. The entire class was laughing at her. The girl responded by giving everyone the finger. We had a substitute teacher that day, and the poor guy didn't know what to do, so he went next door and told the teacher there what was going on, and she came in and gave us a very stern lecture about hurting other people's feelings and that we should be ashamed of ourselves. She also warned us that we would be in big trouble if we made fun of her out in the hallway. I thought, jeez, it's only a movie.
