Yes, it won awards...But the movie had like, no point at all =/

A lot of stuff was pointless, and it didn't have a very strong moral. If it had a moral at all :S

I don't think jakeyboy29 was saying he liked the movie. I think he was saying that the child actors in it should have gotten paid more, etc.

"A Fox Searchlight spokesman has responded that for their one-month work on the film, the child actors were paid three times the amount of an average annual salary for an adult living in their neighborhood."

If you had never known what money was, and you found out that you made 3 times more than anyone in your neighborhood, you wouldn't be happy?

WTF do these kids need to buy? Considering there aren't many stores...

Thats a bit ignorant? Maybe a way out of the slums from a 1 roomed house. Geee.. that would sound good to me.

Yeh...Considering he's 5 and doesn't know any better ^.^

I'll admit, it was a scam to the kids. But it's not like they know any better. All they did was play reality ^.^

That's like saying "Heh, my dad is a drunk and makes $20 a month, but I made $60 off this film that has won a lot of money from, but I am soooo happy with this limited money I got for my hard work".

the movie wasn't that bad, it was actually pretty good... considering some of the kids have never even heard of the word 'movie' before. you gotta give em credit for doing such a great job.

although i dun think they deserve all 8 oscars.. perhaps 4-5 is abt right.
