The two children depicted in this picture can hardly be qualified as "ordinary".
Movies usually are about persons that are less ordinary or something less ordinary happens to them, otherwise they (usually) wouldn't be interesting to the audience.
However, in real life people are also different and it is not easy to say what is ordinary - mostly it is something that average people decide, and being average themselves they can't understand anything different from their standards. Though this is nothing new for human race, due to mass communitation media this concept of advisable (and, as time goes by, even obligatory) ordinariness became so wide spread that mediocracy became a dominant (and, again, very advisable) characteristic of modern times.
And, contary to general and politically correct opinion, every person is different. There is no way that anybody can fit into any general mould or drawer. Though I understand that some things have to be determined by certain age limits, strict legal numbers often lead to unjustice and discrimination. Many young people drive safely at 18 (and 16 in certain states) and we can believe that some of them would do it at 14 as well, and some drive risky and kill people at 20, 25 or 40 and more. But we don't check them when they cross legal age just because law says they are legally free to drive (until, too lately, proven otherwise). The age for voting disables open minded, well educated and intelectually early mature young people from voting, but enables or even in some countries forces to vote those that don't care, don't know anything about politics, and even emphasizes the voting right for mentally ill and handicapped (including by voting in mental institutions, or home voting for those who live at their caretaker's homes), because their opinion will obviously benefit the prosperity of nation and country, unlike those bright kids...
There is the age limit for marriage and it has been rapidly increasing during last hundred years - not opposing it I still think that, as other limits, these should be considered more as a suggestion and not an absolute law with criminal repercussions: would someone prove me that these laws made marriages more successful, and that the more we oblige them the percentage of divorces decreases?
So, as everything else modern society tries to decide who is (and usually using age as only criteria) able or allowed to fall in love. Or read a book. Or go alone for holiday. Or watch a movie. Or need a baby-sitter. Or take part in sport championships, or song contests etc. Well, being old enough to meet and watch people for many decades, I can say that many of them should never be allowed to drive a car, or watch some movies, let alone marry or vote. In fact, I'd say that some of them should have never been allowed to leave their mother's womb...
By saying all this I know that I exposed myself to those who see this world as almost perfect, and if they were allowed to add their contribution it would be perfect with no deviation from oridinariness and mediocracy. Now I expect their rage and lynch invitations (as a guest of honor). Well, I can just tell them that I've personally been more mature in my childhood and adolescence then I am now. Because even if Internet had already been invented I would never allow myself to waste my time on Facebook or forums like this as I'm doing now...
