it is clear that most people in this comment section haven't actually watched the movie, it's not a story about the damages of war, it's a story about the futility of pride and how it can blind you and take away everything. - @Friday, November 23, 2018 6:41 PM

This movie really puts war into context. Throughout the film it felt as if bombs were being dropped on my own little sister and as if people were being indifferent towards my own family. In the end it felt like I lost her and I don't even have a little sister. But actually all of it is true, because we're all family and should take care of each other. This movie showed the reality we're living in and it has to stop. Free Palestina, Free Syria, Free Afghanistan and all third world countries! And an end to imperialism! - @Monday, November 12, 2018 9:20 PM

The fucking aunt, that bitch, no matter how u gonna look at it, its wrong to let a kid go during a WAR, common sense, telling a kid what to do without telling them how to do wont do shit, the only thing she exactly tells them what to do was to cook their own food and they did, she dint tell them what should they be doing to get a job for food she just fucking shout at a 14 years old boy who just lost his mom what do u expect???? , in a time where bombs are dropping from the sky, I think its best to DROP ur fucking ego, adults should know better - @Tuesday, October 9, 2018 3:54 AM

the sadest thing was the fact that the boy allowed his pride to get in the way. if he swallowed his pride, he could still live with the mean auntie and provide food for his little sister. but he didn't decide to do that and that's sad. - @Saturday, October 6, 2018 1:28 PM

After i watched the movie i suddenly realize, That i am so blessed. I have Internet, Gadgets etc. Eat thrice a day plus siesta and midnight snacks and i still an empty soul while the characters there is happy even though they lack of Basic needs in Life but Happy when they're Together. Now i'm at the verge of thinking what's next? I want to know my purpose and become happy. I want to trade all of my things Just to be happy. The movie made me realize things can make me happy temporarily. - @Saturday, September 22, 2018 8:45 AM

One of the saddest movies I've ever seen. It's a true masterpiece, which is why I'll include it on my ultimate list of the greatest movies ever made. It's not live yet but once I'm done coding the backend it'll be live at greatestmovies.eu.org - @Monday, September 3, 2018 1:01 PM
