A Drama Highlighting The Consequences Of Hatred
TroyeEvans25 April 2012
I just felt I needed to write a review for this film since there wasn't any. I'm not sure if I understand the background and all the issues mentioned thoroughly.

From what I saw, "The Wooden Gun" is a drama that takes place after the WWII, focusing on a group of kids in a neighboring fighting a "war". Shown to the audience is the aggravation of a conflict and the intensification of violence involved. As the story develops, there is a tinge of doubt here and there, but seemingly never sufficient to melt away the hatred.

The tone is not a serious one but the movie does get serious at certain points and it can be at times. The result of the conflict is mentioned, but the conclusion or reflection is openly stated, leaving room for the viewers' own understanding.

The plot is developed in an appropriate pace. What perhaps hurts the film a little are the acting and some unrelated content. But overall it is still an enjoyable movie and makes people think, though it may not be top of its class when it's put next to similar works.
