DVD Reviews of Swing Kids
DVD Review: Very slow shipping!
Summary: 3 Stars
Shipping was slow, it took over three weeks; but the dvd was in new and unopened condition just as advertised. Can't complain about quality. DVD Review: Swing Kids
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most moving and wonderful films I've seen. The acting is amazing, the story is breathtaking, and I would recommend it to anyone.DVD Review: An essential piece of political, social and musc history!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an excellent way to see history become real. This film is as important as Orwell's "1984," but looking back, instead of forward. DVD Review: Got Dancin'
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent little movie.
Ups were the music and dancing.
Downs were the politics of the day and the tragedies that afflicted the Swing Kids.
DVD Review: A MUST SEE
Summary: 5 Stars
I watch it over and over and never tire of it. It's an awesome story, the cast is perfect, and there is always something new to observe. Robert Sean Leonard is squeeable and the three boys who star in the piece can make a fangirl out of anybody. Even a couple boys I know ^_~.
Description of Swing Kids
In 1939, Nazi Germany declares war on freedom and demands conformity from its youth. But a group calling themselves Swing Kids rebel with their "swing music" from America. When two of them dare to stand up against the powerful forces around them -- traditions will be broken and loyalties must be crossed! Robert Sean Leonard (DEAD POETS SOCIETY) and Christian Bale (SHAFT, AMERICAN PSYCHO) deliver gripping performances as two friends who must choose between their individual freedom or loyalty to the murderous Third Reich. Also featuring screen favorite Barbara Hershey (BEACHES, TIN MEN), SWING KIDS is an inspirational and powerful story about friendship -- and finding the courage to fight for what you believe in!This strange movie with a niche subject--jazz-loving, dance-loving German kids persecuted by Hitler's men--almost works, thanks to a good cast who seem devoted to the unusual story line. Director Thomas Carter doesn't bring the necessary stylistic oomph to the musical sequences, something that might have pushed the whole production to another, more interesting level of Hollywood dream. Kenneth Branagh makes a particularly effective, wolf-in-sheep's-clothing Nazi official. --Tom Keogh
