I just saw a clip. The acting looks terrible. It looks like a bunch of people from my parish got together in period piece costumes and tried to make a movie.

It does look like that. It was nice that it was young people. I thought it was a nice family movie

Especially for children. Was there an adult version of the vendee.

That's too bad, because the story of the Vendee is one of the great stories in the history of the Church. It is like the Machabees and the Cristeros and the Crusades.

By the world's standards, these were deplorable defeats, but by God's standards, these were something else, for the blood of martyrs is the seed of Christianity.

Our children loved it! It was entirely done by a group of homeschooled children. It wasn't "hollywood quality', but it was very enjoyable and our whole family was impressed at how well it was done. We have the DVD and love the bloopers, too.

I "liked" your post, bvmknight, for two reasons:

1. You actually "got" it and responded appropriately.

2. To offset the "dislike" some Scrooge-y malcontent misanthrope saw fit to strike you with. Honestly, a bunch of really good young folks go to a lot of trouble to make a worthy effort, consistent with their ages and abilities, and DO manage to capture in their own fashion a little sense of gallantry and real Catholic piety and some third-rate Gene Siskel wannabe tapping away with two fingers on a Radio Shack PC in his grandmother's attic just HAS to take a swipe at it.

its there an adult version of this. Very out of place for teen girls to portray grandmas. Saw whole movie.

Is there a place to watch this online?

Navis Pictures calls themselves "Children's Cinema". They've made two movies and another "how to make a movie" which has some short films. I believe their productions star children exclusively.

I want to see their work sometime, but haven't had the opportunity yet.
