Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Morten_5 With tons of warmth and tenderness, English writer-director John Boorman delivers a charming portrayal of childhood and family life in wartime. Without getting too saccharine, the film manages to engage, entertain and even make you laugh.

FlashCallahan Bill Rohan, a young boy living on the outskirts of London experiences the exhilaration of World War II. During this period, Bill learns about sex, death, love, hypocrisy, and the faults of adults as he prowls the ruins of bombed houses on Rosehill Avenue. His father is off chasing patriotic dreams of glory from behind a military clerk's typewriter; his teenage sister runs wild; his mother can't cope; but hopefully everything in the end will eventually turn out all right.....A semi autobiographical movie by Boorman, Hope and Glory is as British as British movies have been since the old Ealing comedies.And what's not to like about it? From the movie, you realise that growing up as a young child in WW2, must have had so much impact on your life, from family leaving, to lack of education, its all here, and even though Boorman slightly sugarcoats it and gives it an almost fairy tale like feel, its gripping stuff.Along with the fantastic cast, including a scene stealing Ian Bannen, the sets are spectacular and really have an authentic feel to the proceedings.The final third takes you away from the war, and the pain, and lets you spend the rest of the movie enjoying the English summer, a real treat, and a lovely way to end a film.For the lengthy running time, it moves along quickly, and although its a tough subject for many, the essence of the film is love, and how huge events bring the nuclear family close together.

alyssa-viot The scene is seen through the eyes of ten-year-old Billy who is confronted with real life during the second world war. He discovers all the horrors and absurdities of an adult's life and sexuality too, because his sister is running after soldiers. This film shows that Billy is a little independent because, when is father goes to France, he is the only boy in the family, so that shows John Boorman, when he was a child, lived with females and had to go to school with is sister and his mother was staying at home. That shows that Billy was confronted with war and life too. This film is accessible to all and it should be seen. It's a beautiful movie but there are a lot of absurd scenes.

Iam valou When I saw the poster of the film I thought : "waow ! it is going to be a romantic film, we will take out our hardkerchieves". But it is not. I have found the film unbelievable, wonderful. I have been touched by all characters. The acting is perfect. The little boy who plays the role of Bill is magnificent and the elder daughter is playing beautifully. The film is seen through the eye of a British boy, we can say that the film is autobiographical. John Boorman shows own experience during world war II with a lot of sentiments, emotion, a mixture of fun moments and sad moments. I think it is the best film I have seen in years. I give it an 8 and I will always be thankful to my teacher for seeing the film. It is a film for you if you want to be touched, to be flabbergasted and please if you are touched by the film like me, pass on the message that this film is wonderful.
