By Jason Apuzzo. Later today we’ll be posting a review of Sony’s Karate Kid remake. The Karate Kid, as everybody knows, is about a young kid who trains himself in the martial arts in order to protect himself from bullying and to rebuild his self-esteem.
The Karate Kid reminded me of a nice little short that I caught recently called, “The Young Marines.” “The Young Marines” is about the Young Marine program, that serves a similar function for young people – and also puts them on a path to serving their country. Enjoy.
Footnote: unlike with The Karate Kid, the Chinese government did not have editorial oversight of this short.

That was very touching. The filmmakers put that together nicely. I like the combination of live footage and still photos. What great kids. God Bless them all.
So young, and yet they wish to grow up so fast.
