To start off I do want to say that I enjoyed this movie, it was well made. The actors, effects and music were great. I even like the storyline(A group of orphans trying to survive in Vinice). I have not read the book and some of the problems I found may not be so in the book. I believe this movie gives a rose colored view of things, such as stealing is OK if you are an orphan that doesn't want to go to an orphanage or a rich kid who doesn't want to conform. That when you grow up things get better and if you can't steal it lie until it's given to you. I don't feel that the movie resolved itself and felt like I was left hanging. Most people will love this movie but more conservative viewers may not.
