currucutu I want to say hello to the people who read this comment, I think that this movie describes a beautiful and innocent war between the kids of two different villages: Bally and Carricks, but the main idea of the drama is the importance that those kids give to the fact of get the buttons of the contrary rival band.As usual, the consequence of the fighting is that the parents grouse the kids when they come without their buttons and laces....It's so sad the scene when a poor kid is hit by him father and then goes out of the home crying...But on the contrary, a beautiful moment in the movie is when the kids of the two different villages are fighting with violence and appears a little rabbit injured. Then, the kids come to an agreement.I'm not a native English-speaking, and there were many words misunderstood, for example BEODO and others that i don't remember.Thank u a lot.

egahs148 I think that this movie is a clear representation of the real life, because today in the world many people beginning a war and they don,t know what is the reason of this. And the other hand this movie is very fun and the acting of the children's is very fantastic, the topic of this film is very actual an is a very special form of sensibility to humanity about this problem that affect many places around the world. To finish I want tell that the war between us is a very demonstration of the intolerant that exist. In conclusion the movie war of the buttons is a marvelous film thank you. The war of the buttons as equal as real life, because in the war don't exist winners only warriors.

thomandybish WAR OF THE BUTTONS is a warm film that exudes a wonder and zest seldom seen in even so-called family films. The parable-like movie concerns a feud between two factions of boys in an Irish village, the trophies of war being the buttons the boys cut from captured enemies' clothing. As the battles grow, we see how the rivalry goes back even further than the boys, to their parents' childhoods. Nothing heavy-handed or profound, but a perceptive view of childhood with a great lesson gently imparted. See it!

KateD This movie is amazing! It is a great family film. This scenic movie is also a breathtaking look at Ireland.The movie is about two groups of boys, both from different rival towns in Ireland, Ballydowse and Carrickdowse. The boys have battles, and to shame the enemy, they cut off all the buttons on their clothes. To get back at them, the boys from Ballydowse have a cunning plan to get back at the boys from Carrickdowse. They show up at the battle naked!You may either laugh or cry at this movie, but either way I am sure that you will love "The War of the Buttons."
