Hope and Glory paints a picture of a world riven by conflict and yet united in resistance to the creeping tide of war that seems to be marching ever closer. Seen through the eyes of a young boy, the “fireworks” provided by the Blitz every night are as exciting as they are terrifying.

Additional InformationAn affectionate reverie about war, childhood, and British stoicism, John Boorman's HOPE AND GLORY is the veteran filmmaker's recollection of the bombing of London during World War II. Set on the British home front during the early days of the war, this episodic movie shows the blitz through the eyes of seven-year-old Billy Rohan (Sebastian Rice-Edwards). At the war's outset, Billy finds himself alone in a house full of women, as all the men are called off to join the war effort. With wide-eyed wonder and an outsized imagination, Billy sees the war as a grand diversion, an extension of his world of knights, tin soldiers, and war games. As bombs fall and houses burn, Billy's mother (Sarah Miles) struggles to keep the family together in her husband's absence. Even as Billy seeks to escape the harem of aunts and sisters, Dawn (Sammi Davis), his older sister, falls for a Canadian soldier, who gets her pregnant. After the Rohans' home catches fire (not, ironically, as the result of a bomb blast, but from a domestic accident), the family is forced to move in with Billy's cantankerous grandfather in the countryside, where they spend the rest of their summer and enjoy an unusual idyll amid the raging war. Nominated in 1987 for a Best Picture Academy Award, hope and glory proved to be another high point in the career of the remarkably protean Boorman.

The idea of the film,is enough in it's self,you haven't really got to be into it,just be thankful it's on the shelves.....
I'm not a yes or no critic!I've only watched it once so far,I will watch it some more.I do remember the explosion scene being documented as being realistic in the movie's day......We could definitely do with some more documentation, maybe from the German perspective of the same type of style,most probably to help us avoid another War.........Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
