 Preconceptions make BAD reviews 2009-05-25 |
| By Tarek Al-Duaij (KUWAIT) |
I can understand fully why people gave any less than a 5 star for this movie. I am a filmmaker and this documentary is one that'll forever echo throughout history.
Every moment of it is meaningful, tight, not a fraction of a second not worth that same fraction of a second of our short lives.
This is the definitive documentary on the subject - LOOK NO FURTHER. If you are blinded by judgmentalism, judgmentalism that results from a closed mind, a mind filled with preconceptions on the subject, go clear out your soul before viewing this film.
Heart wrenching, utterly humane, deeply revealing of a subject we'd rather close our eyes to.
These boys have not lost their souls, neither the terrible man in it who steers them ever deeper into that miserable dark hole. The director manages to unveil a dark, dark world through God's eyes. |
 Body without a soul 2009-05-18 |
| By Zax 19 (Ca) |
| This was not the same documentary, but a watered down version. Many of the scenes where replaced with others. Without the graphic truth, the true nature of the problem is greatly diminished. I was greatly disappointed with this version of the film. |

This film is a documentary, not a movie. For those of you who admire European films with honest, casual nudity, this film may not be for you. European films with honest, casual nudity usually are non-pornographic in content. This film brings the anatomy down to a degrading level. If you want to view this film, fine, but be prepared for some tears and nausea. This film is not for the faint-hearted.
Though here in America we do need to let loose our prudishness when it comes to casual nudity, yet, to Europeans who tolerate young children being victims of sexual exploitation I ask, where are your child protection agents, your social workers, your law-enforcement agents, your religious leaders and, for crying out loud, the parents?
I admire Europe's easy-going ways when it comes to casual nudity, whether on the screen or on their beaches, but when you view this film, you might think that a lot has to be said for the way we protect our children in America against sexual exploitation. I cannot think of a more vicious, sinister crime. I believe the body has a soul, only these young lads were cheated out of a healthy outlook on the body, let alone a normal, healthy childhood. My poor heart just cries out to them. I practically saw the devil through that pornographer in question.
I was going to rent "Angels, But Not Angels," but this film, and "Mandragora", were enough for me. |
| well structured documentary.the characters are nicely lit. 2006-08-31 |
| By Peter Heddon |
Deeply affecting/well structured movie.it could easily been a crushing bore had it not been for the imagination of the film maker whose use of Classical Music (Mahler,Albinoni,Mozart...)is more effective than one is accustomed to though i can see why some may find it too cloying.Best of all was some urgent drumming which had a slightly Japanese feel to it.Sexually charged,and very appropriate.
As for the boys themselves,the director has made some canny choices.A number of them would make brillant filmstars.....there's a certain poignant/artistic look about a them.I hope they manage to get out of their irregular line of work as a result of this exposure.
The bad guy is a man called Pavel Rousek who directs porn movies.Not a likeable chap but he's commendably frank about his exploits:He admits to punching a boy and says you can see the bruise mark in one of his movies.
The only slight let down are the subtititles which have been rather crudely translated. |
 Really bitter reality 2005-11-08 |
| By Rinto Rumuy (Fresno, CA) |
| The story is real, this is basically a documentary, so sad to know that this is based on true story, I just wish it could have done it in better ways. |
