      Send a letter to Copenhagen, send a love to yourself~

                                

           {Freedom is an ethereal, but infinitely longing, suspected bubble but something as thick as a stone}

        When watching the film, I always have the illusion that I am David, a child who spends his life looking for his own knowledge of the world, who has been repeatedly injured but firmly pursues stubbornness, then allow me to tell this story as you.
      I am 12 years old, living under the oppression and ugliness of darkness, and I can see...

      Dedicated to a stranger who loves me

      Man proposes, God disposes.

      The film "I Am David" based on the world's classic children's inspirational novel "Send a Letter to Copenhagen"

      Reinterpret this classic Chinese idiom.

      There is no foolproof strategy, only a sudden and brave heart.

      The success is in heaven, heaven does not help others, heaven is only responsible for watching, to see if there are strangers on earth who are willing to love you.

      [Amao Climbing the Grid - Film and Television Circle] Release in Love

      Growing up is an escape.

      This is the title Wang Yi wrote in one of his film reviews. I watched "I Am David," which he recommended, at the right time, because I'm struggling like this too. I never felt that I was bound and controlled, until one day the new life in me started to activate, a force from above awakened me, and then I found that I had been stuck in the stage of passive beating, That is the tearing of spirit and flesh.

      After World War II, in the concentration...

      story, scenery, discussion

      Aside from the demonization of certain worldviews in the play, after all, I have not verified whether the persecution is really so serious.

      As far as the content of the film itself is concerned, it is a missionary-style film. First, let's talk about the background of the protagonist, a child who grew up in a concentration camp. He understands the world through the words of the people around him, and looks at the world with the worldview told by the people around him. He is a piece...

      Believe all the way, love is at the end

      Although there was only a compass, a soap, a knife, and a loaf of bread, David managed to get the letter to Copenhagen with his wisdom and the friendly help of others. The freedom from the concentration camp and the various troubles that came with it allowed him to grow a lot on the way north, and gradually opened his heart. The initial distrust in my heart no longer exists, and even at the end, I was given a new life and started a new life. In this film, the first thing that touched me was...

      3.5. This is interesting, the filming is really mediocre, and the rhythm is poor and the performance is not good, but the director has explained a good story clearly. Sure enough, Caviezzo appeared for a minute or two...

      Concentration camps, children, trust, growth, these elements add up to easily move people, and the ending is a little weak and a bit rushed, but it doesn't prevent it from being a good...

    In the early 1950s, in a labor camp in Bulgaria during the Cold War, for 12-year-old orphan David (Ben Thibbe) , the outside world was as elusive as his own life experience, and freedom was like a A distant and ethereal dream, unfamiliar and unreachable. Everything he knows about life is imparted by his guardian, fellow reformed inmate John Ness ( Jim Caviezel ) . One night, David successfully escaped from the labor camp under the...

    Evaluation action

    What's unique about this film is that it's very pure, looking at everything from the perspective of a young child. "I Am David" never takes preaching as its main theme, but after telling the story safely, it gives the viewer a warm hug and a heartfelt narration. There are fresh and pleasant valleys and streams in the film, as well as the vast and open scenery of Europe, which are as clear and pure as the protagonist's soul. From doubt...
