This film, made by middle school students, is about how words can both hurt and heal. We see students in school being called names like ugly, stupid and annoying, until their friends come to comfort them with healing words and they feel much better.
This film is very inspirational. I like the story development with the film starting off sad as students are called negative names and then, towards the end the mood changes and the students are more confident in themselves. The camerawork is a bit shaky and blurry, especially at the beginning, but the film still holds up. This film is about middle schoolers and the film takes place at a school. The background music is well chosen and really sets the mood for the scenes. My favorite scene is when the student crumbles up the papers with the mean words and reopens them to show positive words like smart, funny, warrior and pretty.
The film's message is that words cut deeper than any manmade blade.I give The Power Of Your Words 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. By Gavin S. and Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
