KIDSMOVIECLUB First Film

On Friday, 18th October we watched our first film as part of KIDSMOVIE CLUB.

Together we watched the UK movie ALL STARS which is a kids-against -the-world type of movie.

We will meet today, Tuesday, 22 October, after lunch, to discuss the movie and to think about how to write a film review.

Questions to consider

At the beginning of the movie, Ethan said that he was, "Living the dream." What was his dream?" What was reality? How did the dream change?

Each of the main characters had a problem/problems in their lives. 
i. What were their problems?
ii. What problem/s did they all share?

Think about how they solved their problems.
What do we learn from this?


Who in the film changed - grew and developed - as a result of their experiences?

How do we know that Jayden has a brilliant imagination?

Was Jayden right to disobey his parents and go to the dance off?

Were the children right to take the principal's keys and to do the photocopying? 

Is the movie saying children should do these wrong things? What is the bigger thing the movie is saying?

What are the main themes - things to be learned - from the film?

What does the dance they choreographed tell us about what is important?

The fim begins, "If you thought something in your city was unfair, would you try to change it? Would you stand up and fight for what you thought was right? Because that's what a bunch of kids in London did." What was unfair?Would you stand up and fight? What is something that is unfair that you might want to fight about at the moment?
