Children...

Koreans have been ruling for more than a decade with their modern-style approach to the plot with a classic touch and particularly the importance they give to the screenplay and "CHILDREN" is one such example of a timeless masterpiece ... For sure one should be a typical movie buff and mature enough to understand the ground reality based on the true story ... The movie was shot with outdated look of nostalgic 90's era with honest approach to the plot that was well researched based on a unsolved crime till today...while Ki-se Hoon's camera and Kim Chang's editing stores the soul of the movie... So sit tight and experience the true aroma of cinema as it has a lot of stuff to talk.

This movie deserves more credit then already provided. The direction, acting screenplay everything was pretty good. Full respect for the people who were impacted by this tragedy. This movie left me with a feeling that not every missing persons case is actually solved and the loved one's are forever doomed for the pain which comes afterwards.

Extremely well acted and directed movie up until the LUDICROUS ending. What an insulting thing to do to this story. The filmmakers left out a CRUCIAL piece of the story - the 'evidence' which leads to the military's 'involvement'. The fabricated hollywood thriller ending of this film almost makes me sick. The filmmakers should feel great SHAME in how they ended this film. It insults the memory of the children and their families who suffered their loss. Heartbreaking tale. It's obvious the boy wandered into the military shooting base and one of was either accidentally shot OR they saw something they shouldn't have and we killed because of it. ONE person shot their rifle that day and his identity has never been revealed. IMO THIS is the culprit and until they are revealed, a HUGE injustice was done here. Very sad - and even sadder the filmmakers chose to ignore this... I haven't seen a more cowardly film in my life. It was involving right up to the end. Shameful, cowardly was to end this story. It's maddening and saddening at the same time.

Anyone that can kill innocent children is pure evil. The horrors that must have been suffered by these little boys is unimaginable. The horrors their families are left to deal with are heart wrenching. There is a front row seat in hell waiting for whoever committed this crime and it is well deserved

Watching this as a mother of two boys, I couldn't help but feel the heartache the parents must live with. The actors gave great performances in their portrayals of the suffering of these people. The movie is filmed with the respect, dignity and remembrance it deserves. My only complaint about this film is that I wish it would've given us a look at who the boys were before they were killed. They were so much more than just "The Frog Boys" and without that look into their lives they are only remembered for their deaths. I would've liked to seen them being remembered for who they were when they were alive.

It's a great movie about a devastating loss of innocence. Check it out.

What a movie! What an environment! Acting of every, even the small and limited characters act like lively. It seems I am seeing the real story not the movie. Direction, back-ground score, cinematography are excellent. Yet I am sorry about them whoever are the real victims and their families. Five children, age 8 to 12 like that, disappeared, at once, together. Story 1991, South Korea. I have seen this kind of movie, Memories of Murders, which is almost similar. Memories of Murders is one of my favorites. Children... 2001 is also now my favorites one. This movie will grip you till the last moment. You feel the same as the victims' families. You feel the same as the detectives, as the other people of the movie.
