It's been in the back of my mind for... two decades...

As movies go, it had the same impact on me as Star Wars did. But while Star Wars had me dreaming about the future; this movie... well... It had me dreamin' about love. The movie is about two kids fall in love and decide to get married and be happy. But when they tell their parents they are told it's not possible. While at the school the teachers dissuade them and the classmates mock them.

But there was a problem. As the old nighttime movie shows began disappearing and the old movies began to be replaced by newer and newer "blockbuster" films, so too I forgot more and more about the film. Although I didn't forget it completely, it sort of became a mystery movie. An unknown. Unattainable.

Or so I thought. The Internet Provides Everything© and finding out the title of the movie, and even the movie itself was one good suggestion and a couple of clicks away.

It was gabopagan who suggested a similar movie on IMDB. It wasn't the one he mentioned. But I decided try to and ask on the IMDB forums. Practically no time later, I got a solid description of a movie that was similar to what I remembered. With a title, it got ridiculously easy to find and even watch the movie online.

It's on Google Video here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3578692700171397566

It was real magic, seeing the movie again. It's too bad the movie is not available on DVD in North America. The reason? Copyright, lawyers and greed. Obviously, the copyright holders are oblivious to the anarchist undertones in this children's movie for adults. Or the fact that it is available on the Internet...

The information soldier fights for love...
