The Education of Little Tree (VHS, 1998)

I love this movie. I have watched it so many times, and have given copies to my friends. My family is from the mountains the movie is made, and it's really true to life.

I can not find fault with this movie. The acting is good. The plot and story line follow the book, which I also liked with the exception of the ending, which was different from the book--I liked the movies ending better. This was a very thought provoking story. I know there is some contention about the author and whether or not this was indeed a true story. But, all this aside, it was a very moving story, with unusual insight into prejudice, the depression era, and some accurate indian history. I loved it and my son and husband talked about it a lot after watching it. I would recommend it as good entertainment.
