OPEN UP YOUR EYES!
I was questioning whether or not I should post anything here (seeing as it IS the IMDb) and I’m sure most will disagree and completely miss the point (seeing as it IS the IMDb) of what I am trying to say, but I HAVE to post something even if you do fall under that category.
I also apologize in advance if some things I say seem rude; that is not my intention, but I am actually shocked to some of the reactions to this film. I also apologize for my over generalizations, but I’m just trying to make a point.
First of all, I cannot believe the low rating of this film already. My reaction was disbelief. As corny as this may sound, it saddens me. The thing is, we actually have a film that is trying to bring awareness to REAL issues and you have people calling this film terrible and boring. MY GOD, are you people heartless and completely oblivious to the world outside NORTH AMERICA?? What you see in this film is VERY real as to what is going on in AFRICA, AISA, and many other 3rd world countries. There’s 20 million displaced people in the world and if that is f-ing boring to you, Jesus Christ wake up!!!! The world isn’t peachy and in most cases we don’t know the TRUTH as to what is going on in the world AND newsflash everybody THIS is going on RIGHT NOW!!!! Filmmaking, watching films and our little North American lives just make up for a PART of the world.
The next time you walk outside your house be f-ing thankful you don’t have to worry about stepping on landmines!!! Or the next time you’re hungry and you go to the supermarket!!! Or the next time your child is sick and you go to the hospital!!! We all are fortunate to be sitting here right now!!!
OF course, this is JUST a film and it doesn’t even begin to capture the real brutality. However, if it did (by the way) we wouldn’t be seeing it because God forbid we actually know the truth in North America. If you open up your eyes a little you may actually GET something from this film. Also, it IS a film, so they also have to tell a story - the love story.
All I’m saying is look outside the box and you may actually GET something from this film instead of taking it as IS - think a little.
If you didn’t shed at least one tear during this film I’m worried about you.
Entire generations of children have never knows peace and THAT is NOT boring to ME! Remember those BEYOND your BORDERS!!!!
