Hope and Glory

Description: This Oscar-nominated film set in London depicts World War II as experienced by 7-year-old Billy (Sebastian Rice Edwards). Wartime thrills the imaginative Billy, whose supportive mother (Sarah Miles) tries to keep the family strong as the bombs increase. Although Billy's sister (Sammi Davis) suffers heartbreak and the family home is wrecked, director John Boorman's dramedy manages to limelight the bemusing aspects of everyday life during wartime.

My Promulgation: This was a pretty gripping story of the effects of world war II. Again another happy movie about a wonderfully happy topic.
