Innocence Lost

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 1998)

In this film, we are faced with an interesting and uncomfortable question: Is it possible to keep one's innocence in the face of the horrors of war? The grim, touching, and powerful story of a boy separated from his parents and dragged through prison camps concludes with an interesting piece of symbolism.
The emotions and the depth of this film foreshadow Spielberg's later treatments of war, SCHINDLER'S LIST and SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. Though this film is not what can be called a happy one, it is nevertheless worth seeing.
