5.0 out of 5 stars Best Film of 2005 - Another "Schindler's List", February 7, 2007
"Innocent Voices" is one of those films that simply blows you away with its incredibly moving story, great acting, directing, and cinematography. I had the privilege of seeing this film at Talk Cinema, where you see films in theaters on Saturday or Sunday morning weeks or months before they are released -- so there are no reviews to hinder your pure enjoyment of the film. We walk into the movie theater with no idea what we're going to see that morning. The 400 film fans in the theater that sunny September 2005 morning had no idea what to expect from this "Innocent Voices" film which, sadly, got virtually no theatrical distribution in Chicagoland.

I'll not repeat the summary of the film that others have posted here. It's the film's impact that reflects so well on the power of this medium.

After the closing credits ran, there was total silence in the auditorium, broken only by the soft sound of sobbing all around. And then you realized you were among those in tears. I haven't seen such a reaction to a film since "Schindler's List." It is hard to describe the emotional impact of this often funny, but ultimately very moving semi-autobiographical film. It's a shame you can't see in the theaters any more, but I strongly recommend seeing "Innocent Voices" on DVD with a loved one with whom you can share a healthy cry at the end. You will be changed.

4.0 out of 5 stars modern child sacrifice, November 13, 2008
By 
Daniel B. Clendenin (www.journeywithjesus.net) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Innocent Voices (DVD)
"We here are all scared of turning twelve," explains Chava, "because that's when the army takes you. I have one year left." Innocent Voices takes place in El Salvador's civil war that raged from 1980-1992, but it could have been set in any of the dozens of countries around the world where governments and "liberation" armies recruit child soldiers. In El Salvador, the authoritarian government, with a billion dollars of aid and training from the United States ("They're training our soldiers to kill us."), forcibly conscripted young boys to fight its civil war against the FMLN. Since his father left for the US, eleven-year-old Chava is the "man of the house." The film revolves around the plight of his extended family. Chava follows his Uncle Beto and sides with the rebels, but his mother Kella observes that they, too, conscript their kids. Innocent Voices reinforces the truth that in all modern wars, the biggest losers by far are innocent civilians. Co-writer Oscar Orlando Torres based this award-winning film on his own memoirs. In Spanish, with English sub-titles.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the deepest of my heart, December 12, 2007
First at all let me tell you that unfortunately this horror is not fiction I am living proof that can assure you this is real, and trust me when i says this this movie portrait just the half of what i live.
The first time that I saw this movie I could not stop crying. I felt like it was me going again the way I try every day to forget. I noticed that this writer takes sides. He portrait the salvadorean army as the enemy. Well that was good for him because I did not had any side. I just was waiting who, the army or guerrilla, would be the first to kill me. I recommend this movie for everyone who like crying, and for someone who ever live a war. but, please before watching it see the rating. Once you have seen it you'll never forget it.
