Basically the movie is based around two kids, a black girl & a white boy, both from towns that are joined together by an old bridge. There told not to see one another because it's seen as wrong for white & black people to be seen with each other. Towards the end of the film the young girl has an accident and ends up disabled. At the end the film the two towns are bought together by these young kids. The film ends by a new bridge opening up so these two towns can become one,the little girl announces the opening of it. I remember also theres a part in the film where the children visit this older woman who has a suncatcher in her home, and the young girt thinks it's beautiful.

Congo-it is based on the book by the same nut that wrote Jurassic Park.\n\nThe movie is bizarre and somewhat badly acted-I remember it being so surreal and can understand how as a child maybe of 6 or 7 you could think it was a bizarre dream-but the reality is it is real film and unfortunately a true nightmare please be safe. Apes are everywhere.

Yes! Excellent movie and scenery.  My daughter says it is her new favorite.  I especially liked it because the book, "My Friend Flicka" was one of my favorites as a child.  And Tim McGraw was totally perfect as the dad.  I wonder about the mom though...she didn't really seem to fit in with the setting, more of a hippie type than a rancher.

You should go to imdb.com and ask somebody on the movie's message board - I'm sure they'll know!

It is a rather interesting movie.  Sort of a fish bowl outlook on life.  Below is a link to the official site, for anyone that is interested.

It's so cute! The main girl has an identical older sister who was engaged to the main guy (a successful movie director), but the older sister died in a car crash on the day the two were "running away" and the driver of the car was the main guy so he is still traumatized by it and cannot get over the girl even though it has been 3 years since she died. The main girl (Bok Shil) doesn't even know she has another family or had an older sister, but, she later finds out that her mother, who has been raising her ever since she was a baby, is not her real mother until later when all these people start to mistake her as the girl who died 3 years ago and are amazed at their similar appearance. The girl who died (who is her unknown sister) was also from a very rich, powerful family(they are Bok Shil's real family), however Bok Shil was raised all her life in the country by a very poor woman with no husband who is also a little bit mentally challenged. The reason the rich family lost Bok Shil at a young age was because there was a fire that burnt down this restaurant and during the fire they couldn't save Bok Shil. However, the waitress that worked at the restaurant was able to save her (who raised her and pretended to be her real mother till now). The reason her "fake" mother is mentally challenged is because she inhaled some type of gas that damaged her brain while saving the baby (Bok Shil). Okay, so that's only half of the story! I didn't finish it yet. =P

I agree with you.  I saw both films and if I had to choose which one to ban because of "family values" it would be "Hostel."  I'm a HUGE fan of horror and gore, but this was a lot, even for me.  If I had a child I sure as sh!t wouldn't want them to watch this film!  "Brokeback Mountain" was a genuine movie, a good movie.  With such a topic as homosexuality (which I never really derived from the film, just that the two had a love for each other, not men in general), hypocrisy runs abound.

It's about this real rich blonde chick (alicia silverstone) who is beautiful and popular, her step brother or something is like in love with her but at first she shoots him down, then this really ugly girl (brittany murphey) moves in to town and she and her friend want to help this totally clueless new chick.  They end up turning her into this really cool and pretty girl and the stepbrother ends up liking her instead, then she gets jealous and realizes what she's missing and ends up getting what she wants because she's a spolied brat...\n\nIt's a pretty funny movie...in the 90's anyway

it is pretty much about a love square (i would say triangle but there are 4 people involved) they all pretty much fall in love with each other. it is kind of a shitty movie i really didn't enjoy to much.

I saw that movie and liked it...I can't remember the name but it co-starred Shirley McClaine as the grandmother who was an ex-magician. She was the one who rigged up the girl to look like an angel in the tree that everyone thought was a sign from God. Then their diner was packed with tourists so they didn't want to confess it was a trick.

Here are a few films I suggest. These were all films I enjoyed watching and found stimulating when I was a teenager(which I am guessing your class are as well)\n\nLA HAINE (hate)1996...\nI loved watching this film....And one of the most memorable I have ever seen.. Really you must watch  it if you haven't already. This film is especially relevant to the current situation in France. It gives a real inside view to life in the suburbs. I think this is a topic  that a young audience will be able to connect with, and great for discussions.\nHere is a brief outline about the film....\nIt is a dark urban thriller which has been called France's answer to Do the Right Thing. It explores themes of racism, violence and disaffected youth in modern suburban Paris. A riot has broken out in a suburban ghetto, and been quelled by the police. The film depicts 24 hours in the lives of three teenage friends in that suburb.\n\n\nOr what about...... \n (LA VIE RÊVÉE DES ANGES)  THE DREAM LIFE OF ANGELS(1998)\nWhich I think will really captivate a teenage class because it is about being young and feeling isolated from society......\n In Lille, two penniless young women with few prospects become friends. Isa moves in with Marie, who's flat-sitting for a mother and child in hospital in comas following a car crash. Isa is out-going, unskilled, with hopes of moving south to warmer climes. Marie usually is either angry or detached. Then, while Isa begins to visit the child in whose flat they live, going to hospital to read to her, Marie slowly falls for a rich youth. At first Marie keeps him at bay, then she not only pursues him, she begins to dream he is her life's love. When Isa tries to warn Marie, their friendship flounders. How will Marie handle the inevitable? And once they lose the flat, where will they go? \n\n\nor...\n\nUN HEROS TRES DISRET (A SELF MADE HERO) (1996)\nWhich is a lighter film that deals with important questions of identity and truth, and is set post war.\nFew liars have the ability to deceive their way through life. Even fewer can maintain the charade with dignity. Their fabrications may seem convincing at first, but eventually the lies catch up and there's a lot of red-faced explaining to do. Albert (Kassovitz) not only has a talent for deception, but he also becomes another person — exactly the person he longs to be. Sheltered by his mother during the Nazi occupation of France, Albert never got to join the Resistance. When he finally does break free of his mother's hold, he runs away to seek out adventure. He meets a gay resistance hero, the Captain (Dupontel), who painstakingly educates Albert about the minutiae of the war. Albert does his homework, too, memorizing names, numbers, stories, biographies, and places himself among the right people. His savvy lands him a high-ranking position in France's peacetime military. The film skillfully urges us to admire Albert's cunning and loathe his chicanery.\n\n\nIf it doesn't have to be from France...I suggest this Belgium film...\nROSETTA(1999)\nWhich shows the struggle of a young girl from a poor family trying to survive and keep a job. It really deals well with the hardships young peopple can face.\n It is about a girl of 17 trying desperately to escape her depressing life. In this effort she tries to find and keep a job that will allow her to move out of the caravan and away from her alcoholic mother. In Belgium the film inspired a new law prohibiting employers from paying teen workers less than the minimum wage,\n\n\nHere are a couple of older films I would also reccomend....\n\n400 BLOWS(1959)\nA new wave film that grimly shows how a young boy can descend into a life of crime.\nFrancois Truffaut's first feature was this 1959 portrait of Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud), a boy who turns to petty crime in the face of neglect at home and hard times at a reform school. Somewhat autobiographical for its director, the film helped usher in
