When a child is ten years old, his parents always begin to face the first impressions of his beginning puberty. He increasingly considers himself an adult, still remaining small, and with the same delight can watch a three-hour highly intelligent sci-fi "Interstellar" and some "Barboskins" on the Karusel TV channel.

Let's figure out which movie to watch with a child of 10 years old, so that the whole family would be interested…

Instead of a preface

Family can be almost any, even an adult film. All children, like the Little Princes, live on their own planets and in fact only occasionally visit their parents. Therefore, it is almost impossible to predict anything in terms of taste preferences.

Of course, all children like to laugh. And to the question of which comedy film a family with children can watch many times, one can no doubt answer - this is the picture "Vacation".

Despite the 16+ age limit set by the distributors, this wonderful, kind and very funny film, dedicated to the story of an exemplary family man, his wife and their two sons, is a real family comedy, the main idea of which is the well-known the proverb "each twig is weak separately, the whole broom cannot be broken."

Anyway, children are still children. At this age, they still need to associate themselves with some hero they would like to be like. Let's get down to a short review of Soviet and Russian films to watch with children.

Wounded

The history of our country is filled with many tragic events, one of which was the Great Patriotic War.

The heroes of the drama "Wounded Wounds", released in 1976, are children of the post-war years, left orphans and brought up in a boarding school. The film itself is shot in the form of memories of a grown-up hero about his childhood. About the comrades who surrounded him. About the enemies who oppressed him. About the first love with a beautiful teacher, poems and … loneliness, in which, as if in a cage, he, a little boy, was forever planted by the war and the death of his parents.

Among other things, to the creatorsthis amazing drama managed to convey to the audience through the image of the orphan Valka the tragic state of the souls of those children for whom the war is still not over, and they are fighting it out even at the cost of their own lives…

No family

Another movie worth watching with children is the musical film "Without a Family", which premiered on TV in 1984.

This touching and very kind picture is based on the novel of the same name by Hector Malo, which tells the story of an orphan foundling Remy, wandering around the world with a lonely circus actor and his trained animals. In the end, the child, having gone through all the hardships and learned in his wandering life mercy, friendship, honesty and the need to support those people with whom fate confronted him, found his family.

Despite its overall dramatic undertones, the film gives viewers a life-affirming sense of hope for a better future. In addition, it is filled with beautiful music and many wonderful songs that remain in the memory and souls of the audience for a long time.

KostyaNika. Summer time

Unlike Soviet cinema, modern domestic cinema does not very often indulge its audience with films that are worth watching with children.

One of them is the melodramatic film "KostyaNika. Summertime", based on the story of the writer T. Kryukova and released in 2006. The events of the picture take place in a village near Moscow in the summer of 1995 anddedicated to the real feeling that arose between a disabled girl Nika and a local high school student Kostya.

Niki's mother has died, and a we althy artist father is always busy with a new young wife. The girl lives in a luxurious house in the care of a strict governess, in fact, she is useless and lonely. The only person who could understand Nika and become the closest person to her was Kostya.

This deep, kind and poignant film is very loved by the audience and won many film festivals.

Harry Potter

The foreign part of the review of films worth watching with children should start with the famous film series about the adventures of the boy wizard Harry Potter, based on the novels of the writer J. K. Rowling and consisting of as many as nine fantastically beautiful and exciting parts.

The plot of this legendary film, which has long become a modern classic of children's cinema, covers the years of life of the orphan Harry, who lost his parents due to the evil will of the dark wizard Voldemort, who has enormous magical powers. The picture teaches to appreciate such important concepts for any person as friendship, love and family, as well as the need to help each other in difficult times. The Harry Potter film series is designed for viewers of all ages and is perfect for family viewing, especially during the long New Year holidays.

The gods must have gotten away withcrazy

This sweet, funny, naive, charming and simple, like the sounds of the African djembe drum, the picture takes a completely separate place in the series of family movies.

The 1980 film "The Gods Must Be Crazy", created by director Jamie Wyce, who recruited non-professional actors for filming, conquered not only America, but also viewers around the world with a meager budget. At the same time, as it turned out, in order to conquer the world audience, Uys only needed to show the civilized society wild Africa, living by its own laws, add wonderful and uncomplicated humor and involve a real Bushman from one of the Namibian tribes in the main role. From these simple and understandable components, one of the best and most touching comedies of all times and peoples has turned out, for almost forty years now making the audience laugh and cry at the same time.

The film "The Gods Must Be Crazy" (1980 release) received its sequel eight years later, in which the main character, played by a real Niksau Bushman, continued his run through Botswana and the Kalahari Desert. This time, following his two children, who accidentally left in a white poacher's truck.

Both parts of the film are the undisputed masterpieces of funny, bright and kind cinema, ideal for watching with the whole family.

Stardust

Beginning in a small English village, separated by a centuries-old wall from a parallel world, inruled by magical and magical forces, the narrative of the 2007 movie Stardust shifts to protagonist Tristan Thorne, who frivolously swore by his obstinate lover that he would bring her a star that fell on the other, magical side of the wall. Moreover, this fallen star will eventually turn out to be a pretty sweet and beautiful girl.

This picture, based on the novel of the same name by science fiction writer Neil Gaiman, has been transformed from a rather watercolor book original by its creators into a rather tough and realistic story filled with good and evil mages and wizards, pirates, princes and many other heroes, which are an indispensable attribute of fairy tales and fantasy.

In the 2007 film "Stardust", in addition to young actors, such movie stars as Robert De Niro, who played the imposing pirate, and Michelle Pfeiffer, who played the witch queen Lamia, were involved.

Marley and Me

Marley and Me, which premiered worldwide in December 2008, is based on the autobiographical memoir of the same name by journalist John Grogan, which became an instant global bestseller.

The plot of this story is quite simple. A young journalist at the dawn of his career got married, and instead of starting to realize the logical and correct dreams of buying a house and children, he decided to first get a dog, which turned out to be the mostthe wrong and unruly dog on the planet. From a whirlpool of funny events on the screen, masterfully executed by wonderful actors Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston, one of the most beautiful and sad films of recent decades has come out.

"Marley and Me" is one of those few films where the audience laughs throughout the action, and at the end they start to cry … It certainly belongs to the films that are worth watching with children, and teaches kindness, true family values and love for everything around, including our smaller brothers…

Live Steel

One of the most striking and exciting family films of the last decade was released in 2011. Its plot is that in the near future, real boxing was banned. It was replaced by fights of steel boxers - three-meter human-led gladiator robots.

"Real Steel" easily answers the question of what interesting movie to watch with a child. Indeed, what is happening on the screen is breathtaking even for an adult. Robot fights are filmed so naturally and naturally that they seem to be documentary. During the fights, goosebumps run through the body, you want to jump and scream, chanting victory, as if you were actually near the ring.

Another component of this wonderful film is also interesting - the relationship between the former boxer-father, whose role was played by the famous actor Hugh Jackman, and his eleven-year-old son, whose imageembodied on the screen by the young but experienced Dakota Goyo.

"Real Steel" is a real family movie worth watching with kids.

Miracle

I would like to finish this short review with a completely unusual picture, quite recently released.

After watching it, the soul feels like you went to church and confessed. Such a bright and kind feeling. I want to live and be happy, and this is quite important in these difficult times.

The family drama "Wonder" premiered in November 2017. Its plot is about the life of the American Pullman couple, played by Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson. They have an older daughter, an ordinary girl. But with their youngest son August, not everything is in order. He has no face…

The film "Miracle" does not want to retell. It needs to be watched. See, hear, feel, cry and rejoice. Together with my whole family…
