War of the Buttons
No stones in slingshots. No skirmishes too late in the day. Theyâre rules of war for the youngsters of two neighboring Irish villages. And hereâs another rule: if you spit-shake on something, you better follow through. Kids will be kids. But sometimes they, in their own fanciful ways, will be adults. âWhatâs unique and marvelous here,â Oscar-winning* Chariots of Fire screenwriter Colin Welland says, âis that itâs not an adultâs view of childhood at all, but a childâs view of adulthood.â Welland joins fellow Chariots of Fire Academy Award winner* David Puttnam for a winning tale in which buttons are the spoils of a would-be war. The rival teens are screen newcomers, but you wouldnât know it from their seasoned performances. And if you donât know why Ireland is the Emerald Isle, this scenic charmer is breathtaking proof.
