The Kings of the World

I was shocked at how immersing and moving this film was, we're thrown in the harsh reality of these children, seemingly hopless when shown with what could be a major change for their livelyhoods, and so they embark on their journey.

They're helped along their quest and guided by some, but these "gamines" are also given a hard time by people who couldn't care less about their situation and just deem them as scum, a sad reality of our modern world.

A shimmer of hope in the form of a white horse in the opening sequence stays with them until the very end of their quest. Magical realism is seen ever so slightly and beautifully along the film.

Some amazing shots, I was caught by surprise by how well crafted and sophisticated some scenes are, astounding.
