Hope and Glory is a British comedy-drama-war film, written, produced and directed by John Boorman and based on his own experiences of growing up in London during the WWII. The title is derived from the traditional British patriotic song "Land of Hope and Glory". The film tells the story of family in the Blitz through the eyes of 9 years old boy-Billy, it is full of a typical British humorous, but through the laugh you could feel the courage of English when they face the war, they still tried to keep their lives normal as usual.
