Alle Kinder dieser Welt

The World is not always a beautiful place. This movie, that exist of multiple small movies, shows a few of the world's problems... especially in relation to children.

Because the subject is important and the stories are realistic, there is already enough reason to watch it. Not every sub-movie is as strong as the other. But they all tell their own story and overall I liked it very much.

Also don't forget that some big names have been involved in creating this movie, to name some: Spike Lee, Ridley Scott and John Woo.

It has almost no action, certainly no exploding special effects. But it does have drama, laughter and shocking moments... go see it.

unforgettable!unbelievable! i've seen all the invisible children today at the movies,today was the premiere. i enjoyed a lot,and every part stuck in my mind,and i remember even the words that the actors have been saying. especially John Woo,Kusturica,Spike Lee, and Silva- oh gosh, don't have words to express .just feelings. the part by Kusturica-Blue Gypsy,is charming and very funny,and by john Woo-is amazingly seriously and with hope. By Spike Lee-touching and really impressive,and lifelike. thanks to all the directors who have made such a masterpiece. i will never forget this movie. hope soon we will see more movies like this one,because it touches on the problems of nowadays life,and its really gives you a chance to think!

I have seen this movie at the Transilvania International Film Festival, in June 2006. It's such a lovely movie. it lifts up every soul. I think it's an excellent Sunday movie. it brings sunshine in your mind. it sends you to another levels of heart openings.

You cant say which of the 7 stories impresses you the most. It shows reality among us. Look on your right side, look on your left side, wherever you are. You'll see children everywhere.

I recommend you this movie. Just to make you smile and send you back to your childhood. All the directors were doing an excellent work. All stories, even if different, separated, get together at the end, in your mind.

I have seen it today. And i saw it in Italian though i understand this language only a little.it was shocking, amazing, sad, interesting, boring. First i wanted to turn off, then - i was interested, then i was shocked and in the end i cried (for long hour). It's bunch of films which shows different living of children. these aren't films which shows only happy ending, happy heroes which has almost everything. here in "all the invisible children" you can see the real life, without embellishment, a reality which usually isn't shown on TV or movies. Reality which we are blind to. I suggest to see this film, because it's just so beauty!!! It's educate humanity.and in my opinion a lot of people should see this film to understand that all we are happy that we have almost everything and still we're crying that we don't have enough money...

The project "All the Invisible Children" has the intention to disclose through seven short stories, the terrible situation, with the lost of innocence and lack of perspective of abused children in some countries in the Twentieth-First Century through the eyes of seven directors.

1) "Tanza": Mehdi Chafer shows a boy called Tanza in an undefined country in Africa fighting in a civil war with machine gun and explosives, and dreaming on having his home and going to school. This theme could be very powerful, since there are many civil wars in Africa and use of children as soldiers, but this short never works and is completely boring. My vote is three.

2) "Uros": Emir Kusturica shows a gypsy boy called Uros in his last day in a juvenile prison in Serbia-Montenegro without any other perspective but returning to the place. The black-humor never works and the story is pointless and pretentious. My vote is four.

3) "Jesus Children of America": Spike Lee shows a HIV positive girl called Blanca, daughter of junkies' parents with Aids and the cruelty of her schoolmates in school in the best episode of this film. My vote is nine.

4) "Bilu and João": Kátia Lund gives an optimistic approach of two homeless children that fight to survive working on the streets, collecting beer and soda tins and paper to sell in a junkyard, and transporting shops in street fairs. Kátia Lund lost the chance to disclose the terrible situation of street children in Brazil, and how our society is indifferent to such a social problem. My vote is five.

5) "Jonathan": Jordan and Ridley Scott show a photographer correspondent of war in pain for his past experiences. This tale is simply awful, empty and shows the absolutely alienated vision of the childhood problem of these directors, actually the worst story. My vote is two.

6) "Ciro": Stefano Veneruso shows a young boy in Naples that pickpockets to survive. This short is interesting and has a good conclusion. My vote is seven.

7) "Song Son and Little Cat": John Woo shows a beautiful, but shallow tale of fantasy, with a homeless orphan and a spoiled wealthy girl. The short is beautiful and probably the most elaborated one, but does not reach the objective of this collection of films. My vote is six.

Therefore, in spite of the good intention of the producers of "All the Invisible Children", the result is irregular, flawed and only reasonable. My (global) vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Crianças Invisíveis" ("Invisible Children")
