    Heartwarming coming of age story

    by

    So many historical movies are just overbearing and a slog to get through. The Little Traitor really gives you just enough historical background for the events to serve as a backdrop for the primary story - an unlikely friendship between an Israeli boy growing up in Palestine and an English soldier trying to keep the peace.

    Sergeant Dunlop, a kindhearted man who doesn't really fit in among his fellow soldiers and longs for home and the girlfriend he left behind. He encounters a precocious young boy named Proffy, who fancies himself a crusader for Israeli independence. He sees that Proffy, who has never connected with his father, needs a male influence and befriends him.

    The friendship proves tricky for them both, as Dunlop's fellow soldiers are weary of the boy, and Proffy's friends end up seeing him as a traitor for befriending Dunlop. Dunlop and Proffy each grows through the adversity they face and end up stronger for it.

    the little Traitor

    i liked this movie because it was different. it was about something. A universal them even though it takes place in Israel during the British Mandate which is a pretty interesting time in history. It was educational but without letting you know it was being educational. In fact it didn't hit you over the head with anything. It brought you into the story very easily and kept my attention throughout. It was at times very, very funny and the ending was such a surprise and really beautiful. I Alfred Molina was terrific and the little boy was awsome. I also thought the music was fantastic.

    The Little Traitor

    by sandi-k

    This is a wonderful heartwarming coming of age story set in the days before the independence of Israel. Molina is his usual spectacular self but the gem is this 10 year old boy. There are numerous poignant and humorous moments. This is a must see. Everyone who I have sent to see it absolutely loved it.
