5.0 out of 5 stars Heart moving family movie, December 14, 2001

By

This review is from: The Christmas Tree aka When Wolves Cry [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw this movie as a young boy in 1978 and was particularly moved by the story. The movie portrays a wealthy father, successful in business, whose son is tragically taken ill after a military plane explodes overhead whilst they are on holiday. The father is underwater at the time and is not affected. However, the plane appears to have been carrying some nuclear device whose fallout affects the boy.

The story then shows a major re-alignment of the father's priorities as he discovers that all of his contacts and money actually mean much less to him than his son's well being.

Set primarily in France and with the aid of some strong supporting roles, the film cannot fail to touch the heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars A movie you'll remember forever., December 29, 1998

This review is from: The Christmas Tree aka When Wolves Cry [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie was touching, funny, uplifting and heartwrenching. A true tear-jerker with a capital T. The acting was brilliant and realistic.

I AM SO GLAD THAT I FINALLY BOUGHT A COMPUTER. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND A COPY OF THIS MOVIE FOR YEARS. IT IS A LOVELY 4 HANKIE TEARJERKER WITH A BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE (ONE THAT YOU WILL FIND OUT WHEN YOU WATCH IT).
I BOUGHT MULTIPLE COPIES TO GIVE TO MY FRIENDS. ALSO RECOMMENDED IS THE MOVIE BROTHER SUN, SISTER MOON (ABOUT SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI, PROTECTOR OF ANIMALS).
