Why so much hype?

the audience applauded

Admirable film.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I'm sorry but this has been going on for way too long this is probably one of the most boring movies i have ever seen and with that being said its one of the worst which brings me to this, are there really towns that boring in the us?if there is than under any circumstances a director with an ounce of intelligence should not choose such a place as a location for a movie unless it's a horror movie or a heart warming movie, but this is just turd seriously a warning should be put on movies like these "R RATED FOR EXTREME BORE" i would advise people not to watch it and people living in towns like this to write to their senators and ask for a youth club or activities for the kids so that they don't get bored out of their minds on go on killing sprees and thank you.

Picture ThisA Nameless, Timeless Town. A Boy Who is Fully Aware of the Lack Of Meaning in His Life, and of Those Around Him. A Twist of Fate Ensures Out Pacafist Protagonist, Dick Dandelion Comes Across A Gun.He Will Later Name It, Wendy. Wendy Will Later Become His Best Friend, His One Love.Pacafists With Guns? What An Idea!After failing to inspire with "It's All About Love" alongside Joaquin Phoenix, Danish Director Thomas Vinterberg took a risk on "Dear Wendy", Co-Written along side Mogens Rukov, but as the old saying goes, "He Who Dares, Wins!", and the Dane certainly triumphed with this movie.This movie contains a strong political message, along side a "what if?" premise, and Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot, King Kong) delivers a performance that betters Billy Elliot by a long shot, and he is going from strength to strength to ensue his acting career to the very top with his bags of potential. Along side Jamie Bell, Bill Pullman and Danso Gordon add to the small, yet hugely efficient cast to create a spectacular picture.This is not a movie that I can talk too much about, there's either too much, or to little I cant really decide, however I can direct you towards watching it - it will certainly not disappoint.I am a 16 year old from England and I can really say that not only I, but those who have watched this film all say how much they can relate to the plot, characters and theme.Stop reading Watch it

Thomas Vinterberg surprised a lot of people(included me)with his second movie called Festen.But,after Festen,he went from making an excellent movie to making a pathetic movie like It's all about love.I had a lot of expectations with Dear Wendy,Vinterberg's most recent film.The plot sounded really good.But Dear Wendy was a very big deception for me.This movie is very pretentious and boring.Lamentably,the movie had good potential because the weapon's theme is very interesting to develop,but on this movie it is developed really bad.Only Bill Pullman's performance on this movie is good,because the other performances are really mediocre.In summary,don't waste your time nor your money on this film.

A pacifist writes a love letter to his lost gun which helped him gain confidence in himself and others. He soon starts a gun club for other pacifists and social outcasts. the one rule is to carry your gun- but never brandish it in public. but soon they all realize what a gun was made for- and despite their beliefs- they acknowledge that the guns should be serving their purposes. short and sweet- the movie's a metaphor for how a gun can become an extension of someone's personality and how someone's personality can become an extension of a gun- in exactly the same way two people can become an extension of each other by sharing a loving relationship. which is why the movie is written like a love letter. in love you find each other...and if the love is true the next step you approach together is death. And in relationships you never try to change who you're lover truly is.If you are confused by this film think of it like this:"Relationships" build confidence and ego- even though it may be false. Not having a "Relationships" can crush you back to nothing. "Relationships" can make you possessive, jealous, and vengeful. "Relationships" can make you feel invincible and unstoppable. "Relationships" can make you forget what your own goals were because you are constantly thinking about what else you could do with your "Relationship". If you're together all the time and never apart, people stop thinking of you as an individual and only see the "Relationship". Now to understand this movie...replace the word "Relationship" with the word "gun". wow eh? notice how all those points happened in the movie...do you feel a little smarter for knowing that now? good. I'm glad. Sincerely, RF
