Bad seeds - what are they good for?

And in contrast to war, there is a different answer. If you didn't get my music reference don't worry, this is still about this movie and you should get what I'm trying to figure out with my question nevertheless. Can someone who has become a certain way (due to certain living standards, paths he or she took and other stuff) actually change? It's a main theme in this movie.

The movie may be predictable (although I had a moment of thinking of too many double crosses and coincidences), but it still is nice to watch. You have many different characters and all of them have certain flaws ... and you see them develop and overcome some of those flaws ... blossom to take the seed analogy ... but are the roots stronger or the mind too weak still? And where exactly would a good development go, if it happens?

Beautiful, inspiring and comical

Funny but at the same time serious. Exposes a truly sad reality but at the same time it conveys hope and positivity. Creative, ingenious and beautiful movie.

Enough charm to pull it off

I will pretty much watch Catherine Deneuve in anything. I'm not sure this is the sharpest screenplay I've ever seen and there are cliches a-plenty, but there is enough charm to kick some life into it. The three main characters are played to perfection and the plot is genuinely heartwarming. I'd never heard of Kheiron before, but I don't think this is the last I will see of him. Credit also to some great performances from the young cast playing a group of pupils on the verge of throwing their lives away. I would definitely say to anybody, give it a try, it makes for an enjoyable enough hour and three-quarters.

There is Hope...

This film had an impressive scenario, showing us the horrible things on this planet along with people with wonderful personalities. It brings hope, joy and it is enjoyable to watch.
