Storyline
SON OF RAMBOW is the name of the home movie made by two little boys with
a big video camera and even bigger ambitions. Set on a long English
summer in the early '80s, SON OF RAMBOW is a comedy about friendship,
faith and the tough business of growing up. We see the story through the
eyes of Will, the eldest son of a fatherless Plymouth Brethren family.
The Brethren regard themselves as God's 'chosen ones' and their strict
moral code means that Will has never been allowed to mix with the other
'worldlies,' listen to music or watch TV, until he finds himself caught
up in the extraordinary world of Lee Carter, the school terror and maker
of bizarre home movies. Carter exposes Will to a pirate copy of Rambo:
First Blood and from that moment Will's mind is blown wide open and he's
easily convinced to be the stuntman in Lee Carters' diabolical home
movie. Will's imaginative little brain is not only given chance to
flourish in the world of film making, but is also very handy when it
comes to
Son of Rambow Movie Reviews
If you sometimes feel
like all you watch are big-budget 'blockbuster' movies this is the film
to remind you what movie-making should be.
Attended a preview screening this week, and can't wait for the weekend so I can go back and watch it again. The screening was packed, and the general reaction definitely agreed with my own.
There are several 'laugh-out-loud' moments, from the opening titles, to the touching climax, and at many points in between, in a well written, perfectly paced film. I am someone who goes to a lot of movies, and sometimes find myself checking my watch, but this draws you in from the start, and it never loses you.
Probably has most appeal for those , like myself, who were in the UK in the 80's but I'm sure it has appeal for all, and hope the two leads go on to further success in the future. There is an innocent charm about the lead pairing, and the movie as a whole, that should transcend national and cultural boundaries.
