I think this movie takes the Great Depression and makes it seem like a fun, happy time. This is a problem because the Great Depression was in no way a good time. Newsies takes place during 1899 when Joseph Pulitzer raises the price of newspapers, which angers the boys who have to sell the papers and causes them to rebel against Pulitzer. The movie stars Christian Bale as a leader of a group of Newsboys or 'Newsies.' He does a good job portraying a fearless leader with a difficult past. The theme of this movie is that together, people can do great things as is seen when the boys finally get there way and the newspaper's price goes back to normal.
I think this movie is good because it keeps the story rolling without a lot of unneeded singing and extra storyline. The writers keep the story simple and easy for everyone to understand. "Newsies" is good fun for everyone and should have better reviews than it has.
