Camp


This movie is about a group of young people who join into a talent camp. They practice different kinds of dancing, singing and acting in this camp. In there, they are performing in front of a large audience. Each of them has some problems. Vilad is a handsome and talented man in this camp. However he is suffering from a mental problem- he always keeps counting numbers in his mind when he is boring. The reason he comes to the camp is that he finds he stops counting when he is acting. He meets a girl and a homosexual boy, Michael. This girl's dream is to become a famous actress but her family doesn't support her. Michael is a boy with pimple and he has communicating problem with his family.

Besides a group of troublesome adolescents, there's one poor director who was once famous but now is out of fashion. Since he received criticism from a famous theater, he lost his confidence and passion in his work. He became a drunk and had part-time job in the talent camp. Vilad is a big fan of this director, but he is disappointed when he meets his idol. However, Vilad discovers that the director doesn't lose his passion in creating new work. He decides to help this man. In the end, these adolescents give a perfect performance in front of other people. They are all successful.

I think the most touching part is the black girl's singing. She wears braces on her teeth because her father thinks she is too fat. But in the end, she stands up in the stage and sings. In her singing, she expresses her parents accept the way she is. Everyone is different from others in different ways, but sometimes people like to set a standard of beauty. To achieve the beauty standard, lots of people suffer. Some "ugly" girls would be pushed out from groups. That's really cruel to those people. I think this movie is good and incredible. With some unnamable actors and actress, the director could finish this good movie. This movie cost only 23 days to finish with in low budget.

"You will never be better. The same you will never be less than others." Taking lots of notes while I was watching "Peaceful Warrior", I was impressed by the setance. Ture! We will never be the same with anyone, so why trouble ourselves and other with taht?

Yeah, I think it's unfair to judge a person just by appearance. Everybody has the right of being themselves. They don't have to feel inferior to someone while they are not as beautiful as others.
