Linkshoch Wonderful Movie

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

hitterhotter This is a bit of a warning. If you watch this movie, be prepared for distressing scenes of child abuse, some of which is tantamount to torture, in my eyes.If you need to develop your compassion and reflection skills this is an exercise for you.Drug use, poverty and mental illness feature prominently as well as the Romanian authority's attempts to deal with the situation, which, unsurprisingly is largely ineffective considering the scale of the problem. Some of these kids have such a feeble education that only in your wildest dreams can you imagine how they see the world.Peace.

Jim Kobayashi We all know the existence of Street children, the news keep broadcasting the footage of them constantly, and we all feel sympathy for them when we are watching it. But how long we keep that sympathy on our mind after watching those footage? couple of weeks? a day? I guess the most of us just forget about it in couple of hours because we all have own life and we all have something to do.But this film, Children Underground, have so much impact, and got me thinking about those street children for almost a month since I watched it. The most heart breaking scene is one of the kids cut himself just because he took other kids to the wrong park by mistake, and the other kids blamed him for it. He cut himself from his guilty feeling, and that was so sad because he think that's the only way to gain his forgiveness, and what makes it worse is that the adult who are supposed to be there and teach him those stuff is not around him.This film gave me so many "what if" I've never even thought about. What if I was born as a orphan? What if I couldn't fit in there? What if the only way to feel safe is using that paint thing? and I realized I might be just like those kids if I wasn't born to my parents.The film have so much impact and message, and would definitely make you think about something, something strong.

Splattii Whenever people ask me for some recommendations, I always bring this one up. I’ve seen many depressing films in my life, but this has to be one of the worst. It’s hard to imagine what it must be like to be one of those children living as they do. The paint sniffing, the lack of food and the fighting at their age is just sad. I found myself forgetting the ages of these children, but after finishing the film the pictures of some of the children have yet to leave my head months later. There are films like KIDS or Pixote that do their best in trying to portray a day in the life of a youth in their environment. This film is a step inside their lives, as even upon a child being gang beat, the camera did not interfere. The image of the child being beaten by a group of other children is vivid in my head today, and should be. This film was meant to over the eyes of people, and I guarantee it will to anyone who gives it a chance too.

peter07 This movie was both enlightening and depressing at the same time. I had no idea the late Romanian dictator implemented such a disastrous policy that has led to widespread suffering by his nation's children. It's also funny that some of the kids professed a belief in God despite their wretched conditions. I sincerely hope they can rise above mere belief and religion and pull themselves out of their situations.
