Little Children


Little Children is good piece of filmmaking and screenwriting. A great cast supports that cliam. This film is about the wanting of more, while everything you need is right in front of you. Patrick Wilson and Kate Winslet star as a cheating couple. I do not believe that this relationship is at any time real, as seen as how the narrator is used. I feel that the narrator was very important in the film, as he showed the somewhat wishy-washy lives of these suburbans. I found that it was crucial for the film to make us feel like it is a glorified story, and in that respect, it really work. The best part of the cast is Jackie Earle Haley as a once-punished paedophile. The film works well in its mockery of the "disney-esque" type of film, especially in the part of the football game ith Wilson. It looked like it was glorifying and mystifying his game. It looked like the football documentaries on ESPN. I really like Director Todd Field but i think that "In The Bedroom" was better than this one.There was some flaws with this film that kept blocking it from greatness. This film does ask the question of who really are the little children? Are they young or middle-age?
