Railway Children Reviews
Perfect sequel to the original, picking up many social and ethical themes of the time, many still relevant today. Great casting, strong script and excellent photography.
A plot that went everywhere and nowhere, acting not great from some of the main characters, and very disbelievable moments throughout that amde you roll your eyes.
Ordinary at best. If you saw it during the 70s on 온라인카지노추천 you'd be disappointed.
an other view of what happened in Britain and the children experiencing during the war a lovely view of the country side.
IN A NUTSHELL: The film is based on true events that happened in the UK during World War II. It was directed by BAFTA-winning Morgan Matthews, written by BAFTA-winning Danny Brocklehurst, and based on a treatment by BAFTA-winning producer Jemma Rodgers. During World War II, British parents sent their children away to the country to escape the German bombings in London and other cities (known as the Baby Blitz). In this story, three siblings are sent to Yorkshire to live with a widow and her adult daughter. The children encounter a young, American soldier there with a secret. Personally, I can't even imagine sending my children away like that during a war. I would go with them! In England, the film's title is "The Railway Children Return", while in the USA, it's called "The Railway Children." THINGS I LIKED: Jenny Agutter reprises her role in the original 1970 film, the 2000 온라인카지노추천 movie, and in the 1968 온라인카지노추천 mini-series! She has actually beaten the record for playing the same character over the longest period of time in a movie! In fact, this movie uses the same Yorkshire locations where the 1970 movie was filmed. The children in the cast do a fine job and are adorable. Beautiful cinematography by Kit Fraser. It's a pleasure to play in the countryside with the kids. Lovely soundtrack by Edward Farmer and Martin Phipps. It really takes you back in time through the costume design and set pieces. Fans of John Bradley from Game of Thrones will be thrilled to see him in a role in this film. Fun fact: One of the train drivers in this movie is the real-life daughter of the driver in the 1970 movie! THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: It's a very simple story told in a family-friendly way, so some viewers may wish for more action since it's a WWII tale. Fans of the original 1970 movie have been critical of pushing American political issues about race in this movie. I never saw the original, so I can't speak to that point but I've heard it was very sweet and innocent. British film critics who grew up watching the original are hating on the new woke additions to this story. It feels like a gentle introduction to WWII for children. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Some violence Racism No profanity THEMES: Bullying The kindness of strangers World War II The love and sacrifice of parents Courage and cowardice Hope Friendship Racism You can see the full movie review on the Movie Review Mom YouTube channel.
A bizarre film. Hard to understand who this is intended for.
Really good movie with excellent acting and a storyline that pulls you in.
Kept you on the end of your seat to see if they got through
A World War II story that I've never heard about. It was very well done
Good wholesome entertainment. Exciting, suspenseful, and inspirational.
Enjoyed the movie. Great acting. I liked not recognizing anyone, and the differences of Manchester vs country life being pointed out. Sad reality of racism in US army, ending hokey, but ending still made you feel better. Loved the accents of the Brits, but New Yorker didnt have a NY accent. (Perhaps from northern NY?)
Exceptional movie with real intent and messages given
It was a whole some movie. While it wasn't a true story, it easily could have been. I liked the story. I, also, liked the scenery. The music was really good too!
It was beautifully told story with a true meaning of resilience, courage, strength, and making your own family when hard times are around.
The story was eye opening about the history of the US military police in England on the lookout for deserters, like Abraham who was African-American. He was 14 years old and the MP treated him unfairly. The movie was wonderful and had a lot of truth to it.
Interesting story (but a bit hard to understand). Excellent acting!
Lovely. Beautifully filmed and acted. The film speaks to past events, but is still very current. How fun that Jenny Agutter has been in all three films! This is a very appreciated family film that offers enjoyment for all ages. I don't have younger children (my son who is 36 attended with me), but this is a film that portrays the real challenges that children face. We found this film by happestance. No trailers or advertising. We were happy to have found this.
This film is a bit all over the place. Despite the heartwarming message about the American soldier, it would have been much more interesting to focus on the children sent away. It's like drinking water from a fire hydrant.
Great movie for older kids to see with historical fiction content. Really good for kids of this culture to get a reality check!!!
