One of my all time favorites.

A Disappointing Continuation

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

This story is about a growing rivalry between young boys in two neighboring Irish small towns. It shows us all the experiences that those kids lived during their "war". It is an entertaining story about love, family, forgiveness, courage and friendship. I really liked the movie because it has many relations with the real life. I think the film criticize the human conflicts and the violence that exist in the world. I liked a sentence in a conversation between Fergus and Geronimo: "Why are we fighting? Nothing, Why else?". I think that in these words there is a very important message for people, and it is that many times humans fight without reason.The youthful actors were comic, fantastic, joyful, touching, and totally convincing in their roles. All the actors did a perfect job. I especially liked Geronimo and Fergus, the two leaders. In addition, the picture's location is stunning, Ireland is beautiful! Two scenes in particular were memorable: The "rain" of buttons and when the kids stopping the war to care for the little rabbit. I liked so much the end and I'd like that all wars ending that way. I had a great time with this wonderful film. I really recommend you. It is very cute. In this film you will go through hatred, love, laughter, sadness, happiness and lots of other emotions! In conclusion this movie is a beautiful story with vibrant characters, very special moments and a valuable lesson for life.

I think that this movie is a clear representation of the real life, because today in the world many people beginning a war and they don,t know what is the reason of this. And the other hand this movie is very fun and the acting of the children's is very fantastic, the topic of this film is very actual an is a very special form of sensibility to humanity about this problem that affect many places around the world. To finish I want tell that the war between us is a very demonstration of the intolerant that exist. In conclusion the movie war of the buttons is a marvelous film thank you. The war of the buttons as equal as real life, because in the war don't exist winners only warriors.

On of the most interesting aspect from the War of the buttons is the resemblance in the movie between the battles of children and adults. In fact, this film achieves the audience feels many kind of emotions like laugh, fear, uncertainty and others. These factors help to catch the audience during the 100 minutes of the film.However, the war of the Irish kids also makes a sort of criticize about the human conflicts. It is showing how often the real war nearby to be a childlike trouble is, in relation with some superfluous reasons of adult people. So, the audience could reflect about the human condition and have a great time with this wonderful film.

Wonderful, interesting story of a growing rivalry between young boys in two neighboring Irish small towns. This film is supposed to be based on the book, "La Guerre Des Boutons" by Louis Pergaud. The story, casting, acting and locations were perfect. One strong suit is the beautiful scenery filmed on location in Ireland. I really like this film. It seems few people who reviewed it actually watched it as none of the reviews I read even matched the film's content. I would have liked to have seen the one big battle scene played down as it seemed a bit over the top but other than that this was a pure joy to watch.
