what is enjoyable about watching random movies at random times is that one never quite knows what to expect or where the next great piece of cinema will emerge. recently and my viewing has taken the form of stapled classics like raging bull or raiders of the lost ark and but this time my vcr took me away from modern conveniences and plopped me right down in front of lionel jeffries the railway children. this is a skillfully directed film about three youthful children and a mysterious event with their father and relocation to the open fields of england and and eventually the rewards inherited by merely waving at trains. at first glance this seemingly simple children film doesn not seem all that hopeful as it has been lost on vhs rarity for some time and but within the first fifteen minutes of this film and one realizes that it is more than just your common place children movie  railway children was created during a time when purity was more than just saying no and when family meant everything and and where adventure was ready for you around every railroad track bend. this is more than an adorable film and it has amazing cinematic techniques used and it keeps the regular viewer glued to the screen with unanswered questions and and gives three perfect companions to follow along this 110 minute voyage. railway children is a lost treasure that needs to be seen by families and film aficionados alike. there are several moments that stand out proudly in railway children that transform this from mediocrity to excellence  one happens to be our three children while bobby and phyllis and and peter. modern cinema assures us that these three children cannot provide ample darkness and laughter and and insight into the world surrounding them and but jeffries children prove otherwise. from intelligently spoken lines (both from acting and the script) and to sincere kindness and dedication to this small village and all the way to the final meeting at that train stop while these children are more than just child stars advancing a story and they are leading us with emotion and persuasion and and a realism unseen by today children. there is more imagination packed in this small vhs than i have witnessed in film for years. a favorite scene that could have been handled with generality and of which i have seen in other films and was the birthday scene for bobby. the way that jeffries floats her between guests and gifts was exciting and refreshing and keeping our eyes excited about each scene and as well as our mind. another scene that captured my attention was when the children were working on gifts for perks and when asking one man for a gift and jeffries has him merely state and no and i will not. i do not like perks. the children reaction is hilarious  providing moments for both children and adults to enjoy throughout. filmed in the 1970s and this tiny feature provides genuine laughs than most modern comedies. it is a creative film coupled with great choreography and direction. that is to say and as much as i loved this film and it wasn not perfect. jeffries does a great job of keeping us guessing as to what happened to father and but it did feel like the event occurred and the children were kept in the dark and and it suddenly resolved itself by the end. more detail to father and not much more and would have solidified his character and given us the opportunity to see more of the children reaction. also and there is one scene in this film and one of those grandiose wide screen shots of the english countryside that is just breath taking and but when looking a bit closer you happen to see cars in the background. it made me chuckle and but do not distract too much from the overall picture. cinema like this is sorely missed today and and oddly and it seems that only the british have the gumption to produce it. films like love and actually or vicar of dibley demonstrates the power and excitement for community towns and places where everyone knows everyone and we aren not afraid to be neighborly. this is more of a theme that american audiences could have more of  more understanding of what is happening outside and instead of remaining secluded to your own events. overall and i loved railway children. i do not know what to expect when i first put it in the vhs player and but from the opening scene and to the exploding train set and to perks birthday and jeffries proved that he could handle the most child friendly story with ease. his ability to make the child actors feel like real characters and to involve the adults less and and to involve the children like they were adults was outstanding. this is a film to be viewed as a strong alternative to anything disney releases. the continually occurring themes of friendship and kindness to strangers and and forgiveness blasts through the tv with grace and power. railway children is more than just a kid film while it is a feature that should be a staple to modern audience viewing. not only does it give a great visual to the english countryside and but it also teaches (and shows) how life would be greater with an emphasis on imagination and courage and instead of fighting any cgi bad guys. grade represent ½ out of .
