Too much of everything

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
This is a very early film in lithuanian film history. It was based on a novel by the same name. It has four parts based on four different novels, first part : "We don't need anymore" by J. Baltusis, "Nightingale" by P. Cvirka, "The last shot" and "The living heroes" aka "Gyvieji didvyriai". I saw this film because I wanted to get known to lithuanian film industry. I saw it, and here's what I can say about it. This movie is about kids. Kids, and their destinies in different time periods. I recommend everyone to watch this early lithuanian film not because I saw it really good as movie, but to familiarize with Lithuanian film industry, whitch is not a some kind of a dull Hollywood movie. I didn't like this movie very mutch, but is a good pearl of lithuanian film industry. BTW, it's script is written by famous person in Lithuania - Algimantas Čekuolis.
