Nice film. Pretty much on this film is for the very good grade: camera, which is pure 10, acting and the story. The story brings the convincing picture of a kid in the time of war. This is how that probably looks like. No absolute good or bad, just problems, sense of pure or childish honor and duty and pain over all. This is about how my father tells me on WWII Occupation when he was the kid of that age. What I don't like about this film are the trivial shots which are kind of camera pleonasm. If somebody is wondering about something, there is no need to shoot him a whole minute just to express the very same feeling with no oscillation at all. This is for the art film. Instead of wasting the time on showing a person going up the whole 24 stairs making the movie slow, use most of that time to develop the minor characters: mother, sister, father and what is most important in this particular film - uncle Ben. The way his character fits into the hesitations of the growing up human profile of the strong kid is perfect; however, we don't have enough information to observe a picture that the main character fatally developed about him which makes his thoughts and motives unclear. All in all, pursuit towards excellence brings to this movie 6 out of 10 from my side.
