two movies starring children that you most likely will not let your children see

This is kind of unusual but last night I got to go to the US premeire of Tekkonkinkreet at the musem of modern art. It's made by Studio 4°C who most likely are the best hand drawn animation studio around and defently one of the best animated studio around.
In 2005 MOMA also did the us premeire of Studio 4°C's last film Mind Game that film was one of the best films of the decade and my pick for top film of that year. This film is not as good at least story wise. However some scenes are amazing and memorabile and others are terriable. While watching it when ever it would get good i would hope for here on out it will be like this but no.
In fact some of the scenes are the best I have seen this year but as a whole it didn't work and it felt like up to 3 hours when the running time was actually under 2 hours.
However the animation is amazing and worth going to check out. You can tell this is done by a quality studio and that this is maybe not there best film but still technically well made. really it's just the screenwriters fault it wasn't so good.

also this studo made ghost in the shell but anyway if your in new york and want to see this film and I know my review made it sound so good here are the times at moma. I think if you like film it's worth seeing.

This documentary is about the country of Romania were abortion and any birth control has been outlawed because they thought it would make more people for there work force. However it created thousands of unwanted children.
These kids are a result of that generation. well not all but most. It's a very unsettling documentary about there life in the subway. Were the sniff paint fumes and beg for change.
Some of them have run away from home and other have no home. This film show alot of the reality that homeless kids not just in romaina but anywhere face and doesn't censor anything. I've heard people say this film is kind of harsh. yeah that's true but it's also a very good documentary. you follow a group of kids and you get to know them and there quirks.
I'm curious to see more from this director and I think this is a good film for someone who wants to see a good documentary. I don't think this film is for everyone because it will be hard to watch for most. But hey there loss.
