The Colors of the Mountain

Columbia

Here we follow the life of an irritating 9 year old boy as he lives his little life playing with his friends while around him a civil war rages which eventually sweeps over his family.

There were some lovely moments in the film...and fine locations...but the main adult characters weren't very sympathetic which affected my emotional response to the story. Father was a pig-headed moron who beat his wife...it was no wonder he fell afoul of the warring parties. Also an attempt at dramatic suspense using a soccer ball in a minefield was overdone and eventually fell completely flat.

So-so.
