    BEAUTIFUL TOUCHING LOVELY MOVIE, BUT SAD

    Oh my gosh I don't know what to say about this movie I cried through half of it it's so sad when children have to go through what they go through in any war. It was very well written and it had a lot of emotion in it again I cried through half of it because when children cry I'm going to cry, being a mom. It's about music and I love music they say music is all encumbering, so true cuz people actually forget about what they were fighting about what they were arguing about what was going on around them when music hits them and it gets into their soul and make some real lies were all human That's the what I took from this movie. Really heartfelt beautifully done.

    A gem - touching and real

    What a gem. This movie is well directed and the cinematography is top quality. Thing start strong with an intense battle scene and then you get into the story of siblings caught up in the arbitrary and senseless tragedy of the war. When the orphan choir begins to form things aren't cloying but actually touching.

    This movie shows the effect of war on children and the plight of orphans. Im Si Wan is a versatile actor just as good in a gritty role. The villain is memorable too.

    Just as good as the big famous war movies like Brotherhood and My Way in its own way.
