Movie description:
Two groups of twelve-year old friends play »war« in a local forest each day. They make their own guns from anything they can lay their hands on. But, one day, the game gets out of hand as leaderships, loyalties, tactics and friendships are tested to the ultimate degree and like their adult counterparts in the »real« world, victory and defeat are celebrated and suffered in equal proportion ... With overtones of »Lord of the Flies«, »I Declare War« is a chilling depiction of humanity and innocence lost that mirrors events seen daily throughout the world. It’s the law of the jungle.
Armed with nothing more than twigs, their imaginations and a simple set of rules, a group of 12-year-olds engaged in a lively game of Capture the Flag in the neighborhood woods start dangerously blurring the lines between make-believe and reality. Paint-filled balloons = Grenades. Trees = Control towers. Sticks = Sub-machine guns. The youthful innocence of the game gradually takes on a different tone as the quest for victory pushes the boundaries of friendship. The would-be warriors get a searing glimpse of humanity’s dark side as their combat scenario takes them beyond the rules of the game and into an adventure where fantasy combat clashes with the real world.
Bang, bang, you’re dead. No, really dead. A group of twelve year old kids play war in a forest but the audience views the action through their eyes. They fire real machine guns, hear mortars exploding around them, and dodge bloody shrapnel from grenades. »I Declare War« is a movie for young and adult audiences alike, featuring twelve to thirteen year old actors in the tradition of »Stand By Me«. With overtones of »Lord of the Flies«, »I Declare War« is a parable for not only events broadcast nightly on newscasts throughout the world, but a chilling depiction of the capacity for youth and man to take charge and to win at all costs.
