All people under the age of 60 should watch this movie

boots-15

We in the United States do not realize how spoiled we are with material things. I am 70 yrs old and remember the lst 10 years of my life, raised by poor farmer grandparents in the depression, having nothing.

Kids do not want to hear nor believe how spoiled they are.  They want every new electronic gadget that comes unto the market whether they can afford it or not.They can't afford to fix their car, pay their bills, but they must buy a cell phone, a DVD, cable TV, go to the latest movie at the theater, go out to eat etc

This is a sad movie, but a great one.  It shows the comparison between life in Hungary in the mid part of the 20th century compared to the same couple getting to the United States.  I won't go into the plot. The little 5 yr old actress who starred in this movie was sensational.

We do not appreciate what we have in the U.S. either.  We do not realize how material gadgets do not bring the happiness we thought they would.  Please rent this movie...

score 9/10
