such a moral battleground

Rating: 3/10 (30 January 2006)

I will not say that I liked this movie. I was very very disturbed by it. And I don't tend to disturb easily but looking below the surface of everything the movie is, it is disturbing to the core. the entire idea and knowing it is based on actual events is beyond words. I know children in the world are trained to be killers but I do not want to see it in a movie, I do not want to see or have implied that children are killed in the name of war. As a mother I could not get past this it was too much. and to know that a father could sell guns knowing they would be used to arm children just like his own. The moral dilemma in this movie, he has no morals but does. He tosses a childs toy gun that his son had, but continued to give guns to poor countries that would arm children, he even gives FOR FREE guns to a village that has children in it (including encouraging the children to take the weapons) so that he can cover his own rear. I'm sickened by it all.
