  • favorite book. i hate books but this is the best fucking book in the world. my teacher read it to us and it is the only book i like

  • Man, read The Chocolate War over a decade ago, but it's still my favorite book. Unlike a lot of the books that we read in English class, this was very relatable to me. On the other hand, the drama and themes that happened in the book seemed much more exciting than anything that I was experiencing in my high school.

  • We read this in our English Class. I liked the book. :)

  • Awesome Book !! :D

  • were doing book clubs in my class and all the books I wanted were picked so I was stuck with the Chocolate War. Only 2 other people are in my group when we are suppose to have 7. I don't like it so far but then again i'm only on the 7th chapter.

  • @chumshot1 Maybe they were deleated scenes? Sometimes when a new episode of something or a new movie has a trailer for it, they have scenes that didn't make it into the final cut.

  • wow is it weird that i read this in 5th grade

    our teacher's assigned it to us

    haha i missed quite a lot

  • :30 was that even in the movie?!!! I dont remember seeing the phone conversation Leon and Archie had in the book... lolwut?!

  • im reading it for english and now we get to watch the film! :))

  • Im reading it for FUN. Cormier's books are like that, I cant get enough of them. Id take them over Twilight any day xD

    This is gonna be epic, once Im done with the book @_@

  • Don't like the ending. Destroys the whole point Cormier was trying to get at.

  • I read this book for school and I thought I don't frigging understand the meaning of it until I read summaries and analysis. I hated the ending and it surprised me because it has a lot of perverted stuff on it. Why would a teacher make you read a perverted book? I suppose it is perverted because all of them are boys in an all-boys school...

  • the movie was so bad, it was actually funny.

    A good movie could be made: it just has to be done right.

  • @LadyMercury1946 i thought it was awesome and the soundtrack too!

  • had to read the book for school, the movie's ending disappointed me

  • LOL, this looks terrible.

  • worst 80s film ever. so boring,

  • Book and movie sucked asshole

  • I really enjoyed this film when I saw it. The random actors that popped up - I enjoyed it. That said, I haven't read the book so, yeah.

  • I thought the casting in this was great up until that disaster of an ending. Negates the entire theme of the novel; worst change ever. Love the book, hate the movie.

  • This book was realy good,and so was the movie despite the changes.Its a indipendent film from the 80's based on a book,of course their is going to be differences. What are the songs in the trailer? Thanks for posting.

  • he gets exited when he hit boys

  • wow this looks... old

  • why would they make a movie about the worst book ever

  • worst movie ever, along with the book

  • wow these ppl look like fags more than gangsters. i wish carter was black. I mean John Carter? That sounds so black lol

  • @ToastyFB  honestly? this is definantly not modern times

  • @ToastyFB I swear I have to read the book this summer and I always imagined Carter as a big black guy who likes boxing

  • I read the book...there was a lot of Perverted stuff in it. Lol!

  • @xxclaraxx7 damn it! I have to read it for lit circles!

  • Have you ever read a book that you just didn't want to keep on reading? Well this was one of those books. Not gonna lie, I hated this book with a passion. I had to read it for school....not by choice...believe me :l

    I found this to be one of the worst books I've ever read, I wouldn't ever recommend this book to anyone. If anyone would ask me about it, I could describe it in two words: It's shit. Do yourself a favor and do not waste a precious minute of your life on this book (:

  • Archie <3

  • I read this for my book report for this month.

  • what the heck was that

  • He mentions this as the most banned book in America and yet virtually every High School assigns it.

  • This was the only book I ever read in school that I ever liked or enjoyed. Catcher in the Rye and Lord of the Flies came close, but this book described High School better than any other book.

  • This movie looks a little werid, but I liked the book.

  • I hate comparing book to movies....but this is not how I imagined any of them at all! I imagined Archie more slim and his hair combed back....Obie was shorter, a little chubby, and with curly brown hair. Jerry was scrawny. And where is Goober?

  • @sorrel1000 Goober pops up a lot. The film's story is close to the book, for the most part.

  • I loved the movie! Its quite classic. ilan mitchell smith (the wild life,weird science) was so big at that time and so was Jenny wright (st elmos fire,Near Dark) and plus Yaz played their song in this movie, wow brings me back to my childhood in the 80s....

  • The ending sucks !! The book's ending was more realistic !! Archie won in the book ... Jerry won in the moviee -__-

  • @LouieeDhaDon holy fuck no. that kills the whole book.

  • @LouieeDhaDon I know!!! I watched the movie in english class and the ending totally sucked!! :|

  • This book is garbage. I fucking hate how schools force us to read this kind of trash than make us awnser these shitty questions that are irrelevant to any improvement of knowledge. This dribble is purely supression of potential knowledge through memorization techniques. At the moment I am reading beautiful enlightening books entitled "steps in the rights direction" & "wealth of nations", THESE are what we should be reading in English. Not crap like chocolate war & how to kill a mockingbird. Fuck

  • @twistedfool420 wow, dude, im just guessing that you lack the capability to decipher any symbols whatsoever. Economic Theory is certainly useful, but you also have to appriciate what these books say about people and society.

  • @alapalolee You failed to assume you know me. I am just not a fan of STORY BOOKS. My angst mostly comes from the school, not the book itself. The questions they give us to awnser (or at least gave me) is just 'read & copy' kind of questions, purely memorization which is futile to expansion of brain development. I'd rather spend the 15 years of my life learning what I want to learn, not what the government thinks I should know... My frusteration comes from the 'educational' system.

  • @twistedfool420 okay, okay, i see your point; some teachers put things completely irrelavent into their lessons that do not help one bit but are there because of some people in the government. However, you cant really blame me for defending those great books, no matter how much you dislike fiction

  • @twistedfool420

    You shouldn't blame the government, but your overpaid lazy teacher

  • I'm reading the book of this in english class, but the characters are nothing how i thought they looked xD

    its still awesome though!

  • @crazylazy303 i always pictured Archie to be more attractive. /:

  • @Taylorrrrxxx i know me too!!

  • @crazylazy303 bslajdas but no instead hes some proper looking boy

    i thought he'd look more edgy, intimidating. D;

  • @Taylorrrrxxx its so disappointing T.T

  • @crazylazy303 bad casting amirite

  • @Taylorrrrxxx definetly!!

  • I love Robert Cormier's novel, a sort of American response to British "The Lord of Flies". As I can tell from the trailer, the movie is really faithful to the book. I must watch it!

  • Im at a really good middle school where you get suspended for a week if you accidently hit someone's butt but i found this book hidden and it started talking bout masturbation i was like woo then i was like wait who hasn't jacked off : D

  • Book has more in it.

  • the book is but

  • i have to read the book for school it is so boring i hate it so maybe the movie is better i hope probly not

  • @cupcakepandabear13 why do you hate it? I just finished it for my english class and I thought it was amazing, Challenging society's rules, Nonconformity & disturbing the entire universe as we know it and all of it was because of some insignificant chocolate sale.

  • haven't seen the movie yet, but this has been one of my favorite books of all time! Never knew they adapted it into a movie until today. Of course I was always skeptical as to whether or not any film could do this book justice. I mean Cormier's imagery is easy enough to imagine, but can any of it be captured on film to a satisfactory potential? And yes, I sound like an ass, but I love Cormier's works and especially The Chocolate War :)

  • @dualminded totally agree with you!

    it would be difficult to make a movie from the book.

    Nothing really seems good enough

  • Adam Baldwin! SO young! :D Do you know how big his role is, in this film?

  • i wanna watch this movie!

  • i love this book

    and i really want to watch this movie :|

  • wat the music starting at 1:00

  • @kingofkingsiceking "In My Room," by Yaz.

  • This is easily one of my favorite books...the movie did an amazing job up until the ending (why did they change it?). I thought the actors they picked for Jerry, Archie and Brother Leon were spot-on. Oh, and in response to other comments - yes the book talks a lot about jacking off...hello! it's about boys in high school...what did you expect?

  • I had to read the book for a english assignment back in the fall. Overall it was a good book

  • robert cormier is a fucktard. the chocolate war was the shittiest book ive read so far this year. but animal farm stands at #1 of the worst book written in human history. fuck george orwell and fuck chocolate war

  • @bentenren

    If Animal Farm is the worst book you've read, then all the books you read are masterpieces.

  • @lilacsbloom10 books suck, i have a life -___-

  • @bentenren

    I have a life, obviously, or I'd be dead. ;)

    We just all choose to spend our lives in different ways. People who read books gain knowledge, yada yada yada

  • the book fucking sucked. we had to read it in my HS. its all about faggots and jacking off

  • The books end was better. The whole point is that it's harsh and blunt.

  • @Aussieisbest94 Maybe you just didnt understand or aprceate it.

    and it's rated R for swearing.

  • @Aussieisbest94 the books not banned. were reading it for school...

  • @rainbowsparkleton hahaha wow we are too...i think its a good book...but most think it sucks

  • I love Archie!!!

  • he has to read this book when i was in 8th grade. no one liked it, but i thought it was fantastic

  • Amazing book. Archie is amazing. I'm reading Beyond The Chocolate War right now

  • this book its bomb lol but why are they always jacking off!

  • We read this book in english class and I don't like it :(

  • the book was good but the ending was a fuckin let down. it ruined the whole book

  • No it didn't. The ending showed reality. Jerry wasn't going to win, there were to many odds against him.

  • ===SPOILERS===

    I just dont like how the author spent like a chapter, telling us how jerrys life sucks balls, then he finishes it off, with him being bashed up. And the thing that pisses me off the most is how he said

    "do the chocolate stand, listen to the vigils, do what ever they say".

    That lines just screams out

    I HAVE NO DIGNITY.

    I HAVE NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH

    Here is a line that everyone, even jerry should read.

    [read the next comment]

  • "Giving Up Is What Kills People. Those Who Refuse To Give Up Are Entitled Their Time To Trample Upon The Weak"

  • Good quote. That's true. Did you make that up or did you find it somewhere?

  • Its from Hellsing OVA 4.

    Its a anime.

  • Ahg. I've been telling myself to watch that anime but I've never gotten around to it.

  • just saw the movie, the ending couldn't be anymore better.

    loved it.

  • i don't completely understand why it wass the most widely banned book in America

  • I didn't even know that there was a movie! I'm a big fan of the book myself, and am practically in love with Archie. ..I really hope they don't mess up his personality in the movie...He seems kinds of dull in this trailer. : /

  • @ledx0x0head yeah, i'm in love with Archie from the book, too, but they did mess him up in the movie,

    Don't watch.

  • Who isn't in love with Archie? I kind of hate Jerry though.,,,for some reason.

  • i am reading the book and its pretty good so far

  • does anyone know that song that comes out towards the end!

  • running up that hill by kate bush..if its the one im thinking about.

  • In my room ---Yaz

  • I loved the Movie,loved archies personality in the book.but the movie..ya it was a great movie but Archie? psh and they called Jerry the so called "fairy"=fag. Archie sat on a guys lap touched the guys face then was on the phone with Jerry and was playing with this butterfly and had a butterfly collection on his wall in his bed room. but if yu take all that away Archie is hot.too bad hes like 56 in the present time

  • aw yeah, and archie said something about playing with jerry bootyhole

  • can anyone tell me where i can watch this movie online?

  • I love reynolds part

  • I just watched this movie..I may be a little slow....so, can someone explain the purpose of this movie, or novel?

  • It's all about conformity.

  • I've only read the book. Basically, itsz all about Power. Every chapter someone else has the power and everyones demanding it mostly including The Vigils.

  • OMG I LOVEEEE THIS BOOK >:O

    I completly fell in Love with Archie's character,... hes just my kind of asshole xD

    Cant wait to see the movie now,it looks really good >:3 especially for Archieeee XD

    So thanx alot for uploading it here :D

  • Whats the second song

    the our father one?

  • just finished reading it for school, i was told the movie is pretty suckish

  • The Film's ending was crap They changed it complettely.

  • Wow, the last part of the fight where Jerry gets the shit beat out of him in the book is apparently enough for this book to get banned in thousands of schools.

    Because it's 'depressing' - wow, the board of education needs to look at the school through a students eyes, there are fights all the time.

    Pathetic, good book good movie.

    Love Archies hair.

  • yeah but that was like 30 years ago.

  • It's a sick book. I'm going to watch the movie.

  • uggggh i have to read this at school also!!

  • stupid book, reading it in school as well

  • no actually they did a decent job with this movie..its dated but comparatively not that bad

  • movie from trailer looks bad

  • loved the book.

    the movie looks like shit

  • was that john glover?

  • ugggh, im reading this for school :[

  • Omg I'm reading the book right now!!!

  • same

  • Looks bad. But at least Jenny Wright is hot in it.

  • the ending for the book and the movie are different. The ending in the book is harsher...renault loses the fight and archie wins

  • Well technilly emile wins the fight because archie picks out two white marbles.

  • yah i know what you mean--ur right, but emile is really more of a pawn in the giant chess game between archie and renault.

  • One of the best books I have ever read.

  • This book is Homo

  • Very homo.

  • I read the book last week. It was a lot better than I thought it would be and I thought that Archie was the most interesting character in the book really.

  • yeah, you should read beyond the chocolate war

    2 people die, someone almost gets raped, 1 almost gets murdered...

  • Thank You For Posting; 'The Chocolate War' is dedicated to the 'Oprichniki' of 'Miss Porter's School'.

    Cheers!

  • No, no. The movie is great in an understated way. Trust me it will stay with you for years. It doesn't 'look crap' it has a specific style.

  • the book is 10 times better than this it looks terribile

  • watch the film then you will see how corny this film is

  • This was an amazing book, but the movie looks like crap

  • Someone just upload the damn movie so I don't have to read the book this summer!

  • the book is better

  • redneck

  • I'm asian.

  • asians can be rednecks too, i don't discriminate

  • yah but i thought they call them rednecks because their necsk get red? Asians only get red face when they drink

  • freshmen yr for me,i liked the movie and the novel..and i hate reading.but my teacher was a total bitch.....

  • Yeah my teacher was a fucken cow too... probably why I failed that class.

  • i atleast did well,but couldn't stand that bitch,lucky i came to that school in like march so i didnt have to put up with her for the whole year!

  • You mean you had a cow teaching your class?? Was she a California cow?? Can we vote for her to be a Happy Cow??

  • She was a bitch, but I'd sleep with her though

  • Ok. lol!

  • ha i used to love this movie, had a crush on Archie :(

  • I had a crush on Archie when I read the book, and then I saw the movie and was like OH MY GOD I LOVE HIM!!

  • Hahaha. Jerry is hot

  • Where can I find this movie to find!!!

  • Wat song was that towards the end of the trailer??

  • In my Room by Yaz (A.K.A. Yazoo)

    (the song at the beginning was also a Yazoo song called Ode to a Boy) :)

  • it is the actual movie. I just read the book as well and we got to watch the movie. It is really good. The only thing you might not like is the ending of the movie since they changed it.

  • i just read the book too watchd the movie also surprisingly good and im not a big fan of books

  • I wish they would make a remake of the movie, and end it correctly! Then they could make the sequel, too! : )

  • I agree.

    The movie ruins the whole lesson.

  • love the book, but the trailer looks kinds funky if you know what i mean...........

  • Does anyone who where I can watch this film online?

  • the ending didn't stay true the book, i know they wanted the whole victim came out on top kind of ending and everyone wanted to see jerry win, but that's not what happend so they shouldn't of changed it! it screwed it up.

  • Comment removed

  • in my room by yazoo

  • i think da book ws b8r

  • Archie and Obie are the two hottest characters

  • the evil flip-haired student was on Larry Sanders years later as an asshole writer.

    I really liked the movie. i went to a CAtholic HS with many Catholic Brothers in teaching positions so I could relate. Except we sold mag subscriptions.
