A Song for a Raggy Boy

05:18:00

I wonder why the level of violence in boarding schools amounts to extreme numbers. Films years ago controversial now seem to reveal the truth that should be addressed thoroughly and dealt with instantly. Not that the numbers of those sexually abused are diminishing but the numbers of those who speak loud and clear about the abuse they had experienced by their family members, teachers, and the beloved are growing. Victims should have the courage to speak the truth, they should be sheltered and consoled. And even though this film is difficult and intense, it might be such a consolation for many.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
