Bless the Beasts & Children (1971)
I found it trite
25 June 2006 - 5 out of 19 users found this review helpful.
This movie is too sentimental without the substance to provide a payoff. The music is too syrupy and again lacking a real emotional edge. It is amazing that this movie is shown in school as there are far better examples of movies that provide glimpses into the topics that this movie "tackles". The characterizations are poor and trite and the situation is simplistic and there just isn't enough going on to warrant a full length feature. It appears as if 1971 critics lauded the movie with praise but I don't think that it will necessarily stand the test of time. It would be interesting to see how a remake would be critically reviewed.
