Miguel Bunster Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 HI, Here once again asking things... Any recommendations to what good movies to see where Kids have been the main actors? I want to se how they were shot and especially in the 1.85 aspect ratio. I am really interested in how different cinematographers approached the issue and how they represented through camera the child relation to the world. Many thanks once again Miguel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nathan Donnelly Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I'm suprised that A Series of Unfortunate Events hasn't been mentioned yet. Gorgeous movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manu Anand Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Ive always envied Iranian Directors and how they are so good with their child actors. A lot of Iranian Directors have shot some gorgeous films with child actors in the lead..... Abbas Kiarostami: Wheres my friends home -(the earthquake trilogy) Majid Majidi- Children of heaven . And - Colours of paradise And a few other directors whose names i cant recall now... aaah yes Jafar P..... something He made i think "the white balloon" All of them have some gorgeous films with child actors.... They probably have the most memorable child performances ive ever seen. I dont think they were shot 1: 1.85 though Another great film made with street kids from Bombay and about them was "salaam bombay" by Mira Nair. Shes the lady who made "monsoon wedding".
