Audience Member In Stolen Children, Antonio experiences a remarkable transformation as he travels south with the children. Through this adventure, he gains perspective from the people on the other side of the law. Before that adventure, though, Antonio was functioning based on the ideologies of his superiors. As an enforcer, he was instructed to follow the conduct of the carabiniere without questioning the implications of his actions; clearly, he works within an organization that values discipline. After his travels, however, he discovers a new outlook, enabling him to see through a clearer lens. He comes to a realization that the carabiniere, whose mission is to protect and serve, may not always have the people's best interests in mind. By the end of the film, he successfully reaches a higher level of moral development, a transformation ultimately catalyzed by the children. His relationship with the children catapults him from law-and-order-based morality to principled conscience where he can make a distinction between an individual's needs and society's needs. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A brilliant touching film in the Italian tradition. Quiet, stately, powerful with great understated acting. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 4 stars. Ill Ladro di bambini was a heartbreaking and a uplifting movie. The story of a relationship between a young Carabiniere Antonio and 2 children he was escorting to a Children Home.These children were a 11 yrs old girl and her little traumatic brother who were left without parents, because the girl was prostituting by her own mother for two years, so she got busted and send to jail. The title may be confusing,you might think that the Carabiniere stole the children, but the children were stolen from their childhood long time before. All they got was each other,and what this story was all about was the sacrifice Antonio did for this children, even he was not prepared but he offered them love, trust and friendship. Beautiful movie. So real.
