Award Winning Film: Ryan

http://www.cfv.mmu.ac.uk/olc/film/10035/


I really enjoyed watching this film and thought it had a strong message about human kindness and compassion. It portrays a young kid who wants to rebel and decides to hang out with an older group of kids who are violent and anti social and have a pack mentality. He gets to experience what it is likes to be included in their gang and it's not what he was expecting it to be. He ends up doing a prank for them by entering old man's home to steal his walking stick, but he hurts his foot badly in the process and ends up being treated kindly by old man even though he broke into his house.  Overall it is a story about the UK today with feral teenagers that are angry and  cruel portraying the worst side of human nature and old man that responds to this with compassion and caring. The film "Ryan" is a moral story for our time.
