Flickflack auf dem Schwebebalken

This is yet another sport movie. That's a compliment.

Two small town girls in Romania aspire to get into and succeed in a top gymnastics school. After a lot of struggle, they win a competition in the end. That's the story.

I never tire of this theme. You can never tire of a theme whose keywords are struggle, hardwork, success, innocence, mentorship, friendship and so on. These are exactly the kind of stories i'd love to show my kid.

Another point is that these kind of movies should have only one kind of ending. The one where human spirit alone triumphs. Not the most skilled or the most talented or the most intelligent, but the one who exemplifies the best quality of mankind-struggle. This film shows that hope and perseverance win. In the real world it isn't always like that, but kids need to know that there is always hope.

Some call it corny, but if The Godfather(where a socially enabled psycho is the hero) is an example of a 'original' film, i'd gladly watch corny movies for the rest of my life.
