While the movie does somehow manage to deliver the content it nowhere gets deeper. Maybe it simplifies too much. It seemed untapped in so many ways.
Why does the film have to touch every aspect and then downplay every effort? What about all the struggle a family goes through when sending off their kids, forever in this case? What about the child? The narrative they are being convinced with? Their state during this period of transport? How big of an effort the raising families have undertaken? Well, what about the sympathy that Nicholas builds for these children that he goes on to carry out such a big mission? How would anyone trust him? Or perhaps the situation was so dire that no one really cared whether the man is really capable as it was that worse. The reality seems to have been so much more moving. Without such depth, it is just a mere number and name listing of the happening. A movie could have accomplished so much more for it deserved here.
