The Kid

Absolutely amazing film about a man who fought his whole life and life in return threw rocks and logs at him. And what did he do? He didn't give up. That belief in a better life absolutely fascinates me. When I see it, it also forces me to fight and overcome the horrors that life presents to each of us. According to me, everyone who thinks about life should see this film and consider giving up everything and leaving it to the rabbits. Kid is not only a great film, but also a huge motivator. All it takes is one thing. To want and have the strength to fight. And it will definitely come back one day. (23/04/2012)

A film of two completely different parts, although I don't mean that it is divided exactly in half. In the first roughly third, we watch a heavy social drama in the spirit of the best traditions of British film school, only for the film to increasingly clearly sail into the waters of Canadian production specializing in so-called stories based on real events in the following minutes. It is heavily average and the originally strong story becomes a banal anecdote about the miraculous success of an outsider. The ending is then framed with the most clichéd clichés, like when the hero bursts into the middle of a company meeting and confesses his love with a stuttering voice. Surely you have seen the same thing at least 20 times in various romantic comedies, but here it really hurts. Overall impression: 55%. (17/11/2015)
