Yeah, thanks DF@37.com for the reference.

Maybe Kevan's father told Wales. Anyway I hope I did it a touching movie scriptwriting.

By the way, what did you think about my script?

It's good.

It feels very filmic, with nice opening visuals etc.

Had I not recognised the story-line I would be a lot more effusive about it.

There were two slight problems with it:

1. The fact that he buries the bodies in broad daylight when we have already seen that German troops are in the area!

It is highly implausible. Perhaps instead he could wrap them in a blanket and put them under the floorboards or something.

2. Why does the dog suddenly accept him at the end? It has been angry at him all the way through, but seems to calm down when he lowers his rifle.

It would make sense if it was a human, but I doubt that the dog would understand the relevance of the gun.

Maybe he could carefully put the baby back in the cradle whilst still holding the gun, and then offer the dog a rabbit leg or something to gain it's trust?

Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the review, DF@37.com

I'll take your suggestion seriously, but I'm not sure about what realy happen inside a dog mind. What I know is that most of police dogs (or dogs police?) can regonise danger situations. Doesn't matter, it is another discussion. I appreciated your points, dude.

Thanks again for your words.

BTW, what you have written? Let me know in order to repay your review, but I worn you that my reviews are not any masterpieces!
