My Alltime Favourite (As a Child)

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2006)

Here's another film where everything fits. I was 9 or 10 years old when this film started in Germany. And I remember that after visiting the first trailer on TV I examined every issue of our newspaper several weeks to see when the movie starts. My father had no chance to refuse my bid to go and watch this film. We got the last two tickets and what followed was so overwhelming that I can't put it into words to describe it adequately. And I never forgot this feeling. Whenever I watch this film I see it through my children's eyes. So my comment is everything but not the slightest touch objective. For my present day view this gave me an unequaled gift. Whenever I watch a movie and it gives me the faintest feeling of what I felt there it's a very good one for me. A film that has the power to make you see it with children's eyes is one of the rare godsends for mankind
