Der Kampf um die vier Diamanten

This movie is perfect in every way i can think of. Great acting so the characters fell very real; great script, with very funny lines at times; great score; interesting story; and great morals presented in an interesting way. The story of Chris is a moving one, where, when he gets cancer, goes through tough times by losing his friends and the family starts to drift apart, while sir Millard wishes to gain his freedom and rid the land of an evil sorceress and become a knight by going on quests that teach him valuable lessons of life that everyone should possess: courage, wisdom, honesty, and strength. The scenes near the end, about memories of the family together, and Chris expressing his feeling of frustration and Dr. Burke trying to help are sad and moving.

an excellent film.

This movie is wonderful. The way every single person handles disease and death is not well understood. This young boy fantasies every time he gets the chemo, as if he was fighting with Knights. Let me tell You, you have no idea how hard I have been looking for this movie to buy it, because it would be perfect for my support group. Unfortunately is not good business for Disney.

WOW!I never thought that I would get a chance to tell anybody how much I love this movie.Even though the last time It was on tv.was 1995 on the Disney channel. I have asked Disney if they could air it again, but they said that they could not do that.Even though I never got to really see it I still loved it.It was on in 1995 at 3:00A.M. The picture was all snowy at the time because we didn't get Disney, but I just stayed up listening to it, every word. That was the last I heard of it & now it's 2001. & still no Four Diamonds to be found on video. I'v asked all the video stores & everything. I would love to get a chance to actually see the film since I love Thomas Guirys acting. I have seen every movie of his made, but this one when people ask if I'v seen the Four Diamonds? I have to say no but I'v heard of it. I read the book & I understood the story, I look at tv. listing's everyday but still no luck, maybe one of these days I will be able to relive the magic of this movie.I still believe it deserves*****Tom Guiry was great at portraying Chris Millard.The story was very touching & deserves more attention than it gets hopefully that will happen in the near future.

The story of Chris Millard is one that has been inspiring people for over 30 years. There is a Four Diamonds fund that was set up by Chris's parents to help children with childhood cancer. The story itself was written by Chris Millard before he passed away from cancer. The four diamonds are courage, honesty, strength and wisdom, which were all things that he needed to fight his battle with cancer. It is such a great story, I wish they would run the movie again so that more people could see it. It is a great way for children to understand what cancer is without having to actually realize what cancer really is. Disney should release it as an anniversary edition next year.

I remember when this movie aired and I taped it at the time. I was so moved by what I saw that I took the tape to my 8th grade English teacher so that we could watch it in class. We never had the opportunity to watch it and I ended up leaving it at the school. I wish that I still had that tape because I think about the film often. I've tried to remember specifics about the acting and writing but sadly I can't.If anyone knows how to secure a copy of the movie please post some info. I work with terminally ill children and I think this movie would inspire them to fight hard for as long as they can and to not give up. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thank you.
