A young, recently-orphaned girl is sent to England after living in India all of her life. Once there, she begins to explore her new, seemingly-isolated surroundings, and its secrets.
Storyline
Living in India, a young, privileged girl named Mary Lennox is left orphaned when her parents are killed in an earthquake. She is sent back to England to live on her uncle Archibald Craven's (John Lynch's) estate. It is a fairly isolated existence, and she has to find things to keep herself occupied. She finds a sickly young cousin named Colin Craven and a secret garden.
Based off of a novel by Frances Hodgson-Burnett, and has been adapted many times before (even as recently as 2020), "The Secret Garden" is clearly regarded as one of the greatest children's story of all times. It truly makes a clear statement of what it's like to be a child and that through the usage of imagination and play. The adults who watched this movie can reminisce about the days when our minds were preoccupied with innocence and a carefree lifestyle which seems to sadly disappear as we grow older. Being a kid means exploring new people and places and find ways about them that are unique and provocative. it shows that imagination and innocence are the primary traits that children possess. We were all children once, it's a nice feeling that we can all look back upon.
Ultimately, “The Secret Garden,” as it always has, aims to open a gate for kids, a passage to a rejuvenating place that both validates and soothes adolescent fears too scary to handle unaccompanied. This essential version does exactly that when big minds trapped in little bodies might need it the most.
And don’t forget: "The whole world is a secret garden".
Palle, a young boy wakes up to find all other people have gone, leaving him free to do whatever he wants
Nothing compares to a child’s imagination.
Palle wakes up one morning and discovers that there is no one home. No one in town either. No cars or trams in the streets, no people in shops. Yes, they have all disappeared, and Palle goes on an adventure through places where he has never been alone, but which are all equally tempting to a child: the candy shop, tram driver’s seat, the bank and so on…With no one to tell him what to do, he is completely free. Is this freedom worth it? What good is life if there is no one there to experience it with you? These questions seem to plague Palle as he quickly grows bored, wishing for his friends and even his mother. It is a cute and whimsical short that manages to raise deep questions through the eyes of a young boy.
This seemingly simple story speaks of loneliness, containing in it also philosophical questions about the relationship between the individual and the society.
It is just an absolutely delightful film, a true classic in its own right. I believe if they were to make this film available to the public on DVD, it would achieve cult status.
A head chef quits his restaurant job and buys a food truck in an effort to reclaim his creative promise, while piecing back together his estranged family.
Rated R!
Although in this movie the child is not in the leading role, it has one of the most significant ones in it. You can use it as a reminder, how much children love us and admire us and need us. How much they suffer when we suffer. That they can be our greatest teachers in life. We just have to show them our trust and love.
The movie follows an aspiring and well-known chef, Carl Casper, who strives to impress critics with his food. This aspiration to be the best is a great motivation for him but also comes at a great cost. Because of his crazy work schedule, Carl and his wife suffered a divorce and his son, Percy, suffers the consequences. Percy is a huge fan of his dad, but is neglected by his dad and his busy schedule. Through my evaluation of this movie, the movie wavers back and forth on being okay and not being okay. At some points the movie displays a good, strong dignity towards the human person. However at various points of the movie, especially at the hand of the food critic, the chef’s dignity is destroyed. The movie is inspirational and truth-filled, as you watch the father fight to make his way back up from hitting rock bottom. Through this journey, Carl Casper faces many struggles and also faces his broken relationship with his son. The relationship between the father and son grows stronger as they spend fun, quality time together. Especially in a time where broken families are prevalent, this movie is an inspiration that shows a family’s brokenness being healed. Besides the excessive use of bad language, this movie is inspirational and shows a beautiful journey in fatherhood.
What kind of world is it my friend, that little children see?
What kind of world is it my friend
that little children see?
I wonder if they see God first
because they just believe?
Do they see strength in caring eyes
who watch them as they play -
or maybe love through gentle hands
that guide them on their way?
Do children dream of future times
when they would be a king -
or just enjoy their present life
while with their friends they sing?
And when the day is over -
as they close their eyes to sleep -
do children look forward to tomorrow
with its promises to keep?
If this is what our children see
then it should be no surprise -
the world would be a better place
if we all had children's eyes.
Tom Krause - 2000
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn investigate a suspicious graveyard murder and more in this musical version of Mark Twain's novel.
Parents guide- G
There have been numerous film adaptations of Mark Twain's beloved story, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," but few capture the boyish wonder and childlike bliss which permeates the classic yarn. Luckily, 1973 rendition is one of the select few that do. The acting is first class; the directing often innovative, and the whimsical screenplay is respectful of the novel.
This film captures the essence of Tom Sawyer. The wonder and freedom of childhood, and the struggles of growing up. Johnny Whitaker gives the best performance of his career, portraying Tom as mischievous and clever, yet lovable and innocent. This is the Tom of the book who gets in trouble because he is curious and adventurous, whose mind wanders in church and school, and who stretches the truth or even fibs without malicious intent.
The production appears to be on location and is very authentic, and the music is well done. This is a true musical in that the lyrics serve to move the story along. If you like musicals, this is for you. If you don't, then concentrate on the lyrics and what they are telling you about the central character.
The book is timeless because of it's universal theme, the glory days of childhood. The Movie captures that. It will bring a tear to your eye as you hear the theme song "...a boy is gonna grow to be a man, be a man. Only once in his life is he free. Only one golden time in his life is he free."
The story of Mohammed, a blind Iranian boy and his father, Hashem, who is always oscillating between accepting his son as he is and abandoning him.
Majid Majidi's COLOR OF PARADISE is the best kind of cinema. Simple in concept but executed with incredible skill and detail. We enter the world of a blind child in an incredibly intimate way, exploring his world of sound and touch and the isolation his blindness brings about. What the audience perceives is a kind of pure innocence belonging to children. Almost ironically, we're also treated to some stunning images of lush scenery and locations. Absolutely mesmerizing cinematography that even out-does the exceptional audiography.
Characters and their lives are simple but very believable, and the performances from every one of the actors is spot on. The movie exhorts us to appreciate life more, and makes a good case for doing so.
Majid Majidi's "The Color of Paradise" is a beautifully photographed, poetic story about symbolism, convention, and normality and about how little we regard those who we ostracized. "The Color of Paradise" is about two outcasts - the blind boy Mohammad who knows a great deal about suffering but is intelligent enough to compensate for his physical infirmity, and his widowed father who is only beginning to deal with his social infirmity
It is an expression of a deep philosophical, existential, mystical tradition and world view. Yet it is not heavy handed or pedantic. There are plenty of human situations and characters that will appeal to everyone while the true meaning penetrates into the subconscious.
What is philosophy?
I Wonder
by Jeannie Kirby
I wonder why the grass is green,
And why the wind is never seen?
Who taught the birds to build a nest,
And told the trees to take a rest?
Oh, when the moon is not quite round,
Where can the missing bit be found?
Who lights the stars, when they blow out,
And makes the lightning flash about?
Who paints the rainbow in the sky,
And hangs the fluffy clouds so high?
Why is it now, do you suppose,
That Dad won't tell me, if he knows?

Set over one summer, the film follow precocious six-year-old Moonee as she courts mischief and adventure with her ragtag playmates and bonds with her rebellious but caring mother.
Rated R
Moonee: You know why this is my favorite tree?
Jancey: Why?
Moonee: 'Cause it's tipped over, and it's still growing.
Childhood is the most important & innocent chapter in each of our lives. Its where we begin to understand what the world is all about. Its where we learn to speak & when to speak what & hope to get into a school where education makes us realize how the world functions.
Now imagine, a Childhood in a purple painted, unclean Motel in Florida, which, incidentally enough, is close to Disney World, a dream of every child out there). But the trip to Disney World isn't possible for all & 'The Florida Project' is about such kids, who despite knowing there is magic awaiting for them, have no option but to create a world of magic without any fireworks. Writer-Director Sean Baker delivers one of the FINEST films ever on childhood & shows us a side of a America, not many us usually stumble on in cinema. And guess what, this realistic & affecting film, is among this year's very best films!
'The Florida Project' is about creating the magic in the world you've born too. Moonee, the protagonist, is foul-mouthed, brash & adventurous. She may not have a school to go to or a family to support her needs, but that doesn't stop her from being fun. She finds her joy in spending time with her mother or creating a ruckus with her ragtag playmates (who also live the same life as hers) or bullying the Motel's Manager Bobby (Willem Dafoe, In A Career-Best Performance). She also binges in ice cream & sometimes, a pizza (minus pepperoni, despite that being the topping she craves for, but its expensive). Moonee makes the most of what she has & reminds us how childhood is what we make out of them. With or Without money, with or without education or, with or without, of course, Disney World.
Baker & Chris Bergoch's Screenplay touches upon the bleakness & the monotony on the lives of the poor in America, with gut-wrenching honesty & believe it or not, laugh-out-loud humor. YES, you read that right! Despite the nothingness in the surroundings, 'The Florida Project' uses humor, for the most part, to tell its story.
On the whole, 'The Florida Project' digs deep & takes a piece out of you. This is a brave film, that unfolds in sheer power. Two Big Thumbs Up!
Capernaüm ("Chaos") tells the story of Zain, a Lebanese boy who sues his parents for the "crime" of giving him life.
Let's say this first: Capernaum is not a movie for everyone. It is very well made, but difficult to watch. It deals with very unpleasant situations and people. Because of that, it's not a film for kids to watch (in my opinion) and I don't recommend anyone suffering from depression watch the movie....it's very hard to take and is brutal in its realism.
It brings the questions we all ask ourselves, when we witness children facing brutality - Why do people keep bringing children into this world when they can't or won't take care of them? -- is the central one at the heart of "Capernaum," and it's asked not by another parent, but by a little boy who's old and wise beyond his years and is fed up with his parents and the environment they've created for him and his siblings. The young actor who plays the little boy is astonishing -- I can't remember a movie in recent memory that features such a young actor who so ably carries an entire film.
THE CHILDREN WILL STEAL YOUR HEART AND THE ADULTS WILL BREAK IT.
A red balloon with a mind of its own follows a little boy around the streets of Paris.
It is hard to imagine this film first came to life in the mind of writer/director Albert Lamorisse some sixty six (66) years earlier. This is a cinematic short film wonder that is worthy of being shown to all school children in their auditoriums prefaced by the words "Let your mind wander and your hands master the art of free thinking".
Just a reminder, we are here to listen to you.
How was the rocket made? How many people are there in the world?
Why they say that “Every cloud has a silver lining?” and that a “Pen is mightier than sword.”?
How do you write poems?
How far is Siruis from Earth?
Why is my heart beating?
Ask questions little children.
Ask your bigger brothers and sisters. Ask questions to your teacher. Ask questions, that the Great Teacher – The book will answer. Ask questions yourselves.
Ask questions that have no answers. Ask questions, that you will be answered in 300 years.
Ask and never get tired to seek for the answers.
What is happiness? What is good and what is evil?
How can I be a better person?
How many friends and future friends do I have on this world?
Ask questions little children.
The big river starts with a small stream. A journey of thousand miles begins with a single step. We are who we are, because we ask questions.
Ask questions even if it hurts from them. Ask not only about joy, but about sorrow, not only about the wings of laughter, but about the salt of the tears. Ask not only how you were born, but why you were born too.
Never believe to those who laugh at you and tell you that you can live your live without the questions, that everything in life is already known and understood.
If there is no one to ask and to wander about that enormous world, who would fly to the stars? Who would write the new poems we strive for? Ask questions little ones and let your questions be the golden keys to the Magic land of Wisdom.
Ask questions. Never get tired of it.
After the enforced absence of their father, three children move with their mother to Yorkshire, where during their adventures they attempt to discover the reason for his disappearance.
This is as much a film for adults as for children, appealing to the eternal child in us all - a key that effortlessly reactivates those deep and apparently long-lost values and feelings buried inside us, which are normally swept aside by the demands of modern everyday life. This is a film about basic human goodness and decency in which we, the viewers are left to make of it what we will, and there are welcome touches of humor sometimes added for good measure. You can watch it countless times and yet it is like opening a box of delights for the first time, savouring each moment - sometimes humorous, sometimes....well, very different. As Peter says in the film: "it's perfect - more perfect than you know". And so it is!!!
Philosophy loves paradoxes. Philosophy loves good joke. We all love our mamas.
Let's have fun with those! Enjoy.

13K
A simple, sweet & soul-stirring account of a young boy's quest to do the right thing, Where Is the Friend's House is a gently crafted & sincerely narrated story about the inherent goodness in all of us and through the eyes of its 8-year old protagonist, it covers the themes of morality, conscience, righteousness, determination & everyday heroics while also shedding light on the hypocrisy & beliefs of the adults around him.
Written, directed & edited by Abbas Kiarostami, the film takes a very simple & straightforward premise and formulates an endlessly captivating narrative out of it through scenarios that not only seem credible but also make us all the more invested in the kid's journey & final outcome. Kiarostami keeps the drama as lifelike as possible, neither overstuffing it nor leaving it hollow, and makes sure every single scene is relevant to the plot.
For some it's opening matching pajamas on Christmas Eve, for others it's attending midnight Mass and then driving around and looking at holiday lights. What's your family's Christmas tradition? Here's
For some it's opening matching pajamas and sweaters on Christmas Eve, for others it's attending midnight Mass and then driving around and looking at holiday lights and the Town's Christmas tree. Here's a look at some strange Christmas traditions from all around the world. Wherever in the world Christmas is celebrated, certain traditions are also observed. Some are more or less obvious and general, but there are others that, at first sight, seem to have little to do with Christmas. Nevertheless, they are deeply ingrained in the countries where they are practiced.
1. In Austria a ghoulish creature called 'Krampus', the evil accomplice of St Nicholas, is said to wander the streets in search of badly behaved children. During the month of December, you can expect to see terrifying masked figures out and about scaring kids and adults alike with ghastly pranks.
2. Norwegians have an age-old superstition. On Christmas Eve, evil spirits and witches come out. Therefore, all the brooms in houses across Norway are hidden so the witches cannot ride around on them and cause havoc or even break them under the Christmas tree.
3. In the week leading up to Christmas, Venezuelans attend a daily church service called Misa de Aguinaldo (Early Morning Mass). In the capital, Caracas, it is customary to travel to the church service on roller skates. Indeed, so widespread is the practice, many roads in the capital are closed until 8am to provide Christmas worshippers with a safe passage.
4. Families in Finland usually visit the graves of their ancestors and relatives on Christmas Eve to light candles in memory of the deceased. Hence, on Christmas eve, cemeteries would be lit up with candles presenting a beautiful sight.
5. Locals in Catalonia create a character out of a log, drawing a face on it and giving it a hat. Then they spend a fortnight 'feeding' it fruit, nuts and sweets. On Christmas Eve, the entire family beats the log with sticks and sings a traditional song that translates to 'If you don't crap well, i'll beat you with a stick' until the log excretes all its treats. It's hard to comprehend why this tradition hasn't caught on elsewhere. They also decorate their nativity scenes with small, pooping, ceramic caganers (figurines). Usually well-known characters, often drawn from that year's news, the figurines always have their pants around their ankles.
6. Sure, in Ukraine there are the usual Christmas tree decorations like baubles, ornaments, and candles (electric or otherwise), but in addition, sparkling, artificial spider webs are thrown over the tree. Legend has it that this tradition goes back to a poor woman who couldn’t afford any kind of decoration. On Christmas day, she found that spiders had woven glistening nets over the modest tree.
7. Every year in the days leading up to December 25th, Dutch children eagerly place their shoes by the fire in hopes that Sinterklaas will fill them with small gifts and treats in the night. Traditionally, carrots are left in the shoes for Sinterklaas' faithful steed, a white horse named Amerigo.
8. Next time you find yourself complaining about granny's festive brussel sprouts, spare a thought for the poor tykes in Greenland. Each Christmas, they have to tuck into mattak – raw whale skin with a little blubber – and kiviak, which is made by wrapping an auk (a small arctic bird) in seal skin, burying it for several months and eating its decomposed flesh.
Set on an island off the coast of New England in the 1960s, as a young boy and girl fall in love they are moved to run away together.
PG - 13! Parents strongly cautioned!
Wes Anderson movies seem to play in a parallel universe, where everything seems to be slightly off. But in a good way that is. While it might seem he is interpreting his childhood years (in most of his movies), whatever it is he does, he does so in a very unique style. From the sets to the story to the dialog.
Our main characters here are kids. And the romance between them is pure, which is quite a task. I can imagine that still some people might find a few scenes awkward, but that would be their interpretation and nothing Anderson was aiming for. It's almost fairy tale like, with some crazy characters thrown into it. The kids making more sense than the grown-ups most of the time. Beautiful movie, that even cynics will find difficult to dismiss.
If there is a main tool, we should use, while discussing world issues with children, I would bet on hope.
How much should we talk with children about the world’s problems? That is something parents and educators been questioning themselves. Yes, we want to prepare them for what they may face, but we don’t to terrify them. Discussing the issues the world is facing with children is really important because this way we raise a generation that is aware and willing to change the world towards better.
Children are exposed to world issues by the media. Neglecting to discuss world issues with them can send the wrong message- that it is not acceptable to talk about difficult things. Let’s not forget that silence can also carry a message.
Yes, we have our fears about discussing world issues with children, but it is important to recognize that they can actually have these difficult conversations and often want to. It doesn’t have to be fear-inciting. While we, as adults should always seek to be honest, we can speak with a sense of hope. If adults discuss world issues with a sense of hope, it can inspire children and young people to make a difference. This can be made by focusing on solutions and the power an individual has to create change.
Most of the children approach these issues with a curious and open mind. They want to not only know what is happening, but why. They also have a natural desire to fix disparities and have a strong sense of fairness and justice.
Many children have a natural desire to help others. Having open dialogues about world issues teaches them about advocacy and standing up for what they believe in. Discussing world issues with children is impactful because as they become adults, they will be more likely to be inspired to take action against the disparities they see globally and will be more open-minded and empathetic about the plights of others. Having a compassionate, well-informed and aware generation of people who care about helping others is crucial to solving the issues in the world today.
The National Association for the Education of Young Children provides guidelines for discussing world issues with children:
When discussing a distressing issue, the adult should be a safe and reassuring presence during the conversation
Find out what the child is feeling about the situation and what their thoughts are about it
Honestly state the facts of the matter and clear up any misinformation in an age-appropriate manner
Check back in with the child to find out feeling and thoughts on the information expressed
Discuss values and actions that would be considered hurtful, helpful, fair or unfair
End the conversation off in a positive manner by reassuring the child that people are taking action to resolve the issue
Empower children by brainstorming ideas together on how to positively contribute to resolving the issue in an age-appropriate way.

In a hospital on the outskirts of 1920s Los Angeles, an injured stuntman begins to tell a fellow patient, a little girl with a broken arm, a fantastic story of five mythical heroes.
Rated R! Under 17requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
This movie is a travel! In your childhood. Behind your lectures. In the middle of magic. Out the walls of reality. On the carpet of kitchen in the morning of Christmas. It is art, pure art and fantastic game. A tale, a page of few small lives, a cage of gold and ruby, a hopscotch. Or miniature of an old Dutch master. Fireworks. It has not definition, no description, it is not a show. Maybe, an adventure. Must be see. As key for the iron door of an age in which only the velvet shadows are admitted and the heroes are drops of light. After the end remain the taste. The face of a girl and the look of a healer. Some words in Romanian, grapes in the road and the nostalgic pieces of golden age. In fact, only the fall. In yourself.
