I believe this is an amazing and powerful film! This is one of the few films I have ever watched completely "without translation". It was so well made, that didn't matter to me. The photography, mood, lighting, atmosphere and the absolutely haunting music score had me totally absorbed. (Later, I managed to find a copy to purchase, and watched it with English translations)
And what can I say about the natural talent of the beautiful children in this film, and what their characters went through to try finding a better life somewhere! When it was over, I was counting my blessings. I never had to grow up in conditions anywhere near as harsh as depicted through the children in this story. The final few incredible scenes capture the very depth of human emotions. Seriously, those ending scenes hit me hard! Look closely at the faces of the two brothers as they sit beside each other. And, please don' miss the sign on the building right behind them! It's my opinion that "300 Mil do Nieba" is a Masterpiece!
