Genres & Description

Action Drama Family History Musical

7.0 / 10

July, 1899: When Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise the distribution price one-tenth of a cent per paper, ten cents per hundred, the newsboys, poor enough already, are outraged. Inspired by the strike put on by the trolley workers, Jack "Cowboy" Kelly (Christian Bale) organizes a newsboys' strike. With David Jacobs (David Moscow) as the brains of the new union, and Jack as the voice, the weak and oppressed found the strength to band together and challenge the powerful.

When I was younger, I took a theatre class. One unforgettable year, my teachers decided to have us do "The King of New York" scene and song at our annual showcase. Each class did one scene from a different play, movie, or television show. My class got this gem and I fell in love with it. When I was in eighth grade and we were studying strikes in the late 1800's we watched this movie. I told my teacher about what this meant to me and I remember singing along to "The King of New York" when it came on during the film. I really need to find this movie. For now, though, I'm at least happy to have the Broadway musical and the warm memory of playing Les in my favorite scene out of all I've done in theatre class. - @Monday, October 6, 2014 11:00 PM

I remember seeing this as a kid and thinking... DAMN that guy is GORGEOUS and the way his lips crinkle... I always wondered why he wasn't mainstream... and then in Little Women... I wish I'd been Jo.... Christian Bale has always been skill and FIIIINE. - @Monday, August 4, 2014 4:55 AM
