Genres & Description

Action Comedy Drama Romance

7.4 / 10

A semi-autobiographical project by John Boorman about a nine year old boy called Bill as he grows up in London during the blitz of World War 2. For a young boy, this time in history was more of an adventure, a total upheaval of order, restrictions and discipline. The liberating effect of the war on the women left behind. And the joy when Hitler blows up your school.

Was the plan for the music to completely drown out the dialogue? - @Tuesday, August 22, 2017 8:17 PM

England as it was and how it should always be.... Unfortunately England has changed and changed for the worse. London is now Londonstan 3,000 plus English girls were sexually groomed, raped by Asian Muslim gangs in Rotherham England and that's just one town. There is not decent English literature, classical music being produced and performed. England really lost World War II and all honest English people should apologize to the Germans. - @Monday, July 10, 2017 7:36 PM

My only complaint in this film was the sister, who was supposedly 15, looking so old for her age. - @Friday, December 23, 2016 7:12 PM
