Much Better than You Thought...and Kids Like
I orginally saw the movie and thought it was ok. However, I teach some lower level social studies classes and use this film with WWI. Combined with readings and information about WWI this film is quite good. More important, it take a topic many of my students are not interested in, WWI, and makes it more interesting to them.Critics did not like this movie, I like it more each time I see it. Granted I have watched it numerous times with 15 years olds, but seeing how much they get into the story excites me as an educator.Again, it is a much better film than critics would have lead you to believe. The story is nice and the special effects are great.
