at the end when Chava's friends were executed one by one. Very emotional scene.

reply

i agree, the execution scene. that particular scene is very psychologically disturbing. the first kid's emotions were so real. i can still remember his face until now.

the scene where chava's house was burning and he thought that his family was gone. but he found his mother. chava went to the states. i think that was one of the most crucial, but not really the climax

I think that the scene where his friends are executed is the most dramatic scene for me...I can't explain how I felt when I saw that scene. It's a been a long time since a movie, in fact just one single scene in a movie has had an effect on me like that.

i dont think it was essential to the movie but to me the most dramatic scene was when he is by the river its pouring rain and he throws the radio into the river while that song plays

I agree the scene with the radio, all around me in the theatre people were in floods of tears at that moment.

A little Trivia for you. I met the writer (the man who actually lived this) He let us know that the little girl survived! Her mother had heard what was going to happen and left in time. He went back to El Salvador and she had already married. Tear! It was a great opportunity to meet him.

The radio scene in which emotions and facial expressions are at their best.

It would be the children's execution scene, but not just that; but also when Chava grabs an assault rifle to shoot back at the Army, just to find out that the "enemies" were actually other kids like him.

It must be horrible, to see kids killing kids in wars. Also, notice how their friend who got recruited changed his personality.

The most dramatic scene throughout the whole movie was when Chava's friends got executed at the back of the neck/head and they fall one by one. It was very sad and disturbing. Then the other sad part was when Chava saw the village homes burning in flames or something like that and then he started screaming. That part made my eyes watery. Other part is did Marcos ever lived? I was wondering cause it never showed him after that.

You took the words right out of mouth! When Chava's friends got executed at the back of the neck/head and they fall one by one was one of the most dramatic scenes I ever seen in a film!

I don't mind if film makers do it because there are so many prunes who refuse to let movies have children dying in films. I prefer to see the truth then everything sugar coated. Does anyone else hate this ? Not saying I want to see it just saying when is necessary or important to the film they need to show it!

I have to agree with everyone that the scene where Chava's friends are being executed is the most dramatic as well as before that when you see their friend who helped Chava, hung and shot in the head. I cried for a long time even after the movie was over so heart wrenching.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but I will kick you repeatedly in the balls!

I found it hard to keep tears from welling up in my eyes during the scene when Angelita got shot. Hearing the mother begging her daughter not to die, assuring her not be scarred, man that almost got to me. But when Chava's tio Beto started to sing "Casas de Carton," with Chava's sister crying , gun shots and RPGs going off in the background, and that did it for me.

The most dramatic one is surely the one where the kids got shot one by one. But what made my heart shrink was the scene when he found that little girl's house burnt down, when he thought she died.

Execution scene and girl dying in mother's arms were very difficult to watch. The other scenes listed were also gripping.

I'd also recommend City of God, very good movie as well.
