And my review – and its not a review.

As the imdb says- this is almost a perfect film.


Though the title suggest it as a scary movie, its not scary, may be for kids.

But it’s a kid’s movie. I hope so. And a must see for them.

The plot is very simple. The cinematography is beautiful, in right words, its beautiful.
It makes your eyes and heart sink in its beauty. There’s no irritation. And there are no bad guys as in every movie.The big guy’s plans something and things go awry, they want to finish it off, so they turn out to become bad.

Even a character shown as a ruthless/blunt, in the end changes to be silly.

A small village, with less than 20 people and kind hearted boy. Not much action, not my movie though , it was a touching narration how a person can be bold enough.

‘I’m not scared’ is an apt title. Though we are scared for some shots the will power of the boy changes the whole feeling and makes one think how many good things can be done if we are not sacred for silly things.The theme and the location add to the movie.

The kids are amazing. How a child is growing with his sister, friends and a tough boy.There is always a tough boy in a normal children’s group, and there will be a good boy who never cares for him nor scares him, and he is our hero. A brilliant hero.

It’s a normal child’s life style. He finds something wrong with the big guys and helps the kidnapped boy get a life back to him and indeed he is called as a ‘guardian angel’.

We all have passed through this stage of life. But I missed the thrill of Michelle – the hero. Though I used to wander like him, I don’t remember if I have done something so daring like him.
