719.0. "The War" by GRANPA::FPEREZ () Fri Dec 09 1994 14:05

    Me and my two sons, ages 7 and 10 went to see "the war" last night.  My
    10 year old said it's the first film he cried at.  I thought elijah
    wood was excellant in this film plus his sister (forgot her name) was
    good.  It was alittle hard to understand the heavy Mississippi accent
    at first but got used to it.  The flashbacks to the father's war was
    very convincing and didn't dwell on that part of the story to much
    which was fine with me.  I liked the trails and tribulations that the
    kids went through, especially when your trying to teach your own kids
    about why other kids act the way they do.
    
    Anybody else see this film?

    The sister is Lexi Randall.
    
    Word is, the studio is pushing Elijah Wood for a Best Actor Oscar for
    this film.  Kevin Costner took second billing and will be touted for a
    Supporting Actor award, in order to boost the Wood campaign.
