  • If this is supposed to garner political point support, don’t see the movie. I’m excited for it!

• This is an exciting project! Let’s get our kids used to having guns and going to war!

  Now those are some red-blooded American kids…and I hope to see a lot of it on the big screen.

  • (1) the movie is Canadian
    (2) doesn’t sound like a glorification of gun violence to me:

    Bang, bang, you’re dead. No, really dead. A group of twelve year old kids play war in a forest but the audience views the action through their eyes. They fire real machine guns, hear mortars exploding around them, and dodge bloody shrapnel from grenades. I Declare War is a movie for young and adult audiences alike, featuring twelve to thirteen year old actors in the tradition of Stand By Me. With overtones of Lord of the Flies, I Declare War is a parable for not only events broadcast nightly on newscasts throughout the world, but a chilling depiction of the capacity for youth and man to take charge and to win at all costs.

• It’s a Canadian film … and SPOILER ALERT: the guns aren’t real.

• The movie makes it very clear that the guns the kids use in their war game are all pretend – sticks, water pistols, ect. – with “real” guns, bombs and blood shown only as part of the kid’s war game fantasy.

  Once again, NO ACTUAL GUNS IN THE MOVIE.

• Very interesting concept…..sounds enjoyable to watch.

  I also love how some people spout off about something they no nothing about…….lol. Doing a little research into something will make one smarter and sound like a idiot like some of these posts on here.
