Leave your thoughts about I Want to Be a Soldier.
| User ReviewMichael KOne of my favorite movies of all time, extremely controversal but an excelent film all around! |
| User ReviewLuke CA bit slow at some points, but nevertheless a great story of the rise and fall of a violent obsession. |
| User ReviewHarrison BSome pretty dark material. It's about a boy who has two imaginary friends: one a good hearted Astronaut who feeds into his positive thoughts and the other a vicious Army General who fuels his negative thoughts. This was an intense ride with a powerful message about media, war, violence, and imaginary friends and how they influence children today. |
| User Reviewbecky bAlthough sometimes more an assay than a movie, and very obvious, it is a disection about the kind of problems it wants to talk about. |
| User ReviewDavid SBullying, fuck-up kids, violence, death, and more... a strong movie, kinda difficult to watch |
| User ReviewXabi SGood idea, but the end reminded me too much to American History X. It would have been better to make an original end for the movie |
| User ReviewLuis BInteressant reflexió sobre la influència de la televisió i els informatius sanguinolents que impregnen de sensacionalisme les nostres pantalles, sobre un nen, al principi innocent, que es va transformant degut a aquesta influència. Denota una manca de pressupost que supleix amb aparicions dels sempre ben rebuts Danny Glover i Robert Englud. malgrat que el que explica à (C)s molt interessant, erra en que a vegades sembla que vulgui adoctrinar. |
| User ReviewIvan NHow people put money into such utter drivel I will never understand. |
