Everyone...Caine, the visionary, his Dad, who supported and encouraged Caine, his first customer, Nirvan and then everyone in the flash mob who supported this amazing boy's dream of having an arcade.
-
Lonna
I love it!!! As an elementary teacher it is so inspiring that a little boy is able to use his imagination and actually be a kid. Kids try to grow up so fast and so many high expectations are put on them to be an adult to early, great job Caine so inspiring!!!!!

This young guy is smart.

Nathan Fillion (onoe of my favorite actors) just tweeted this and I am so glad he did! My 7 yr old son James loved this. In March, his birthday present from my mother was a big box full of cardboard tubes, smaller boxes, 4 kinds of tape, scissors, glue, and aluminum foil. She calls it his "Imagination Station". He says it may be the best gift ever! KIDS STILL WANT TO USE THEIR IMAGINATIONS!! We just have to let them! He is totally inspired by this video :-) I can't wait to see what he makes next. (His last creation was a jetpack with empty bottles)

Does he have the proper permits for that arcade? Have the police tried to shut him down like a lemonade stand?

Didi
I had hoped to see Caine's school playing a part in this, but there is no mention of his school support at all. Where are his principal,teachers, classmates...? If they were not the ones who initiated this, they could at least participate.
-

The purest of joy comes from the recognition of your hardwork doing what you most love!! Kuddos to Caine for his hard work and to Nirvan and Dad for their recognition!

WONDERFUL! I'm so glad Nirvan Mullick recognized that Caine has an amazing spirit and imagination and shared it with the world. Kudos to his father for raising such a special child and for everyone that came and supported this young boy's dream. Caine is bound to succeed in anything he wishes. The whole story of sharing and support and dreaming justs gives me the warm fuzzies.

See what can be done without a kid sitting in front of a computer screen or an IPad all day. Took me back to my own childhood when we actually did things. Hooray for Caine.
-
Melody
An adult cared so much about this kid, he caused an outpouring of support. This was a huge gesture which showed Caine,all of his hard work was not in vain. A great way to build a child's self-worth and esteem. Hats off to Nirvan Mullick.
-
Brad Nickason
Kudos to the guy/film maker who recognized the brilliance of Caine's wonderful little world. I am inspired by how he let himself be carried away on a whim and then used his own creativity to help this little boy make so many other people happy.

It was really cool how he made the arcade. I was inspired by how he used the materials around him to create and invent the world he wanted to be in.

ruth
I think this movie is as much about superb parenting and good friends as it is about Caine. His father's obvious love, enthusiasm and pride (not to mention flexibility in his shop) and Nirvan's friendly creativity and support are perfect models for community. Thanks to everyone for appearing as their best selves!

Sandy Hurst
What inspired you about this video? Such a pleasure to watch a child play and build and develop! I'm sure his father should take some credit here. The filmmaker, Nirvan Mullick, deserves a big hand for seeing the beauty of the lifeforce behind this Arcade world and deciding to share it with the world in a big way. Thank you, Mr. Mullick. I'm sure this attention will bring Caine much opportunity - he is very appealing and precious. You and Caine are most certainly kindred spirits. Your film really brings great joy.

Caine's creativity stems from the very core of his being, one can sense his creative depth in allowing ideas just to materialize. What simplicity, graciousness, and giving spirit of a nine year old. There is no stopping for Caine now! Nirvan's capture of the simple things of life has filled Caine's spirit with abundant energy to continue sharing the simple things of life with others. Gratitude to Nirvan for recognizing talent of the barrio! Have to admit of teary eyes at every pace of the video, thanks again, Nirvan!

Bruce
I sent the link to this video to a group of friends and family, and one of my friends who is a CPA forwarded it on to about 12 people, all of whom are aggressive Wall Street or Business type associates of his, and he said every single person he sent it to responded back(which floored him). Some said it filled them with pride in America,others said it made them teary-eyed, and so on. But every single one stopped his work for the 10 minutes required to watch it, and felt so strongly they responded back. He did not think in all the years on the internet, anything he has sent out ever evoked such a strong reaction in people.

John
The ingenuity of Caine and the kindness of the filmaker and those who posted the event on-line, also the joy of Caine and those who participated. You Go Caine & GOOD LUCK in your next adventures in life

Tracey
Thank you so much for this. What a brilliant Kid, to spend his time making things to cheer people up. He has imagination & knows how to pass the time making stuff. When I was a kid I spent my holidays making 'stuff' from any bits of cardboard & paper, bits of foil. I had the joy of never being bored even when the sun didn't shine. Caine has the same joy & thanks to this film He got to share it. It has inspired me to get creative again! Even at 48 & 3/4 it's never too late.Very touching thanks

Caine is amazing. His attention to every detail is so touching and GENIUS. I applaud his father for his supportive indulgence and BRAVO Nirvan for making Caine's dream come true in such a sweet way. AND most of all for sharing this lovely story with all of us.

lonna
caine is such an intelligent, sweet and gentle soul. his enthusiasm and creativity is inspiring - and then, of course, the filmmaker and all the people in the area that created that first beautiful day at caine's arcade. it is an uplifting, hopeful and positive view of humanity.
-
Ratnakara
The greatest element of Caines's Arcade is Canine's unfathomable patience. He didn't build the arcade to get people to come, he built it out of joy and intelligence. Caine patiently waited for that first customer never giving up, and the rewards of his sincerity and innocent enthusiasm will continue for ever. Follow your heart, find a way to express that and like Caine everything becomes golden. Bless you Caine!

Now we're talking "community!" Way to go, LA! Let's send this child genius to college!
