I'm watching this movie to learn about historical stuff. The movie followed the hero's journey. Jack Kelly is the main character who leads the strike against the newspaper companies which eventually leads to all child labor in general. They face a lot of adversity when encountering the owners of the companies and the police. There were many things in the movie that would have represented the time period well. The clothing and accents of the characters were very well. Not much made me question the historical accuracy. However there was lots of singing which probably didn't happen as much. The movie set reminded me a lot of the movie Westside Story. I really like the plot and how the actors portrayed the characters. I also liked the songs and the times where they used them. There isn't anything I didn't like. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who wants to learn more about the Newsboys strike.
