A sop-story about kids who engineer their own demise

Rating: Null/10 (20 March 2009)

I seriously didn't get this movie.
It may be a cultural difference or something, but why the hell did the kids choose to live rough when they had a pretty sweet deal at the house of their relative? Because they had an argument? Their aunt was strict? Sheesh! There are people getting bombed all around, people dying horrible deaths from explosions and radiation poisoning and these two spoilt little kids end up dying after they ungratefully run away from a (tough) loving home.
If they had both died in explosions, or were shot by Americans I would have sympathised. If they were made homeless as their aunt's house was bombed, I would have understood. The aunt wasn't even that bad! Overall the only feeling this film provoked in me was frustration: I wanted to grab those kids by the ears and drag them back to their aunt's house and tell them if they run away again i'll kill them myself. I can't be the only one who feels that way...
