Ali won the long-distance running championship. Everyone was happy for him, but this champion was the only one who felt extremely disappointed.
Everyone knows why he was disappointed. He just wanted that pair of sneakers, but for such a humble dream, he tried his best to pursue it. He did his best, but he failed to achieve his wish.
Just when everyone thought the movie was over, the camera turned.
on the street.
Ali's father bought a bag of flour and walked out of the store. His bicycle was parked outside. The back rack of the bicycle was filled with many items, including vegetables, daily necessities... At the bottom were two pairs of brand-new shoes. A pair of
Rose-red girls' shoes and a pair of white sneakers. He packed the flour, pushed the cart and walked along the street.
The audience watching the movie suddenly showed a look of astonishment, followed by a knowing smile.
Everything is not so bad, right?
At home, Sarah was rinsing the baby bottle by the water pipe. She heard the courtyard door open with a bang, and she followed it. After a while, Ali slowly walked out of the doorway and leaned listlessly against the wall. Sarah
He smiled happily and stood up, looking forward to the surprise his brother would give him.
Ali's pants were torn with several holes, and he approached his sister dejectedly. Sarah looked at her brother's downcast appearance, and the smile on her face disappeared. She lowered her eyes and looked at the clothes on Ali's feet.
Dirty sneakers, then raised his head and stared at him wordlessly. Ali apologized and sighed deeply.
At this time, the cry of her brother was heard in the house, and Sarah quickly grabbed the bottle and rushed into the house.
Ali was relieved. He bent over the water pipe and took a few sips of water. Then he sat by the pool and took off his sneakers and threw them on the ground. The soles of the sneakers were worn out and could no longer be worn.
Ali had large and small blisters on his feet, which were already festering. He gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain, and took off his socks.
Ali soaked his feet in the pool, hoping to temporarily relieve some pain.
The goldfish in the water gradually gathered around his feet, seeming to soothe his pain...
The ending of the film did not allow the audience to see the scene after Ali and Sarah got the new shoes, but it was enough.
"Bah bang bang!"
Abbas stood up suddenly and clapped vigorously.
This movie does not have so much politics, not so much satire, and not so much preaching. It only has a touch of warmth, a touch of happiness, and a touch of sadness.
This is what they are not good at, but he thinks that movies like this may be what they need most.
Perhaps such a movie cannot win higher awards, but such a movie does not have so much violence. It just tells everyone that here, in this "demonized" country, the lower-class civilians here
, maybe they are not rich, but they do not lack happiness!
At the same time, it can be said that filmmakers and film critics from all over the world are a little surprised.
I was surprised by this movie and surprised that it was such a movie.
"There is no deliberate effort at all, the exhibitions and landscapes are shot honestly, but they can catch people and make people reflect - do movies really need those things? The goldfish pond scene at the end even has a bit of Zen, and is so ordinary and simple.
The whole film suddenly became transparent, how could it be so good!"
"It's really special! Although it's just a very simple story, a very everyday story, it's very touching!"
“This is the funniest Iranian movie I’ve ever seen!”
Although "Little Shoes" will participate in Iranian film festivals, this film will also be released in other regions first.
Especially in China, film critics are the first wave of propaganda.
In fact, everyone is no longer surprised that Li Yi makes movies from other countries.
Soon, several film critics from China began to write all night, and many movie fans in China had been waiting for first-hand information.
After all, it will take some time for the movie to be released, and there is currently no other public release, so only these people can get first-hand information.
Du Xianghai was the fastest and wrote the article and sent it back to China as soon as possible.
""Little Shoes" is also known as "Children of Paradise". This movie is very special. It tells the story of children from ordinary families in Iran.
But even though it is not made in China, even though the environment is different, some things are the same and can easily resonate with people.
When you were a child, did you ever have this experience: Although you are not very old, you feel that every step you take is stepping on a hurdle in life.
Your parents tell you that if you can't get into a key elementary school, you can't get into a key middle school; if you can't get into a key middle school, you can't get into a key university.
So you sharpen your head, study and take exams conscientiously, and don't dare to make a wrong step.
The teacher tells you that not completing your homework is the root of all evil, and being late and leaving early means lifelong laziness.
So even if you arrive one minute late, you will feel that your future is as scary as the sky is falling.
For things owned by the public, you are only allowed to contribute personal items as supplies, and you are never allowed to suffer any loss or damage due to personal use.
If you study well, you are a good student; if you study poorly, you must be a bad student.
Humility is appropriate, pride is shameful.
When the line between pride and self-confidence cannot be distinguished, you should always act modest even if you are hypocritical.
If you damage other people's belongings, you have to pay compensation. Damaging something newly bought by your parents is a serious waste of natural resources.
Everyone says, "You can see old age at the age of three, and you can see yourself at eighty at the age of seven." So when you are a child, you should always take responsibility for your eighty-year-old self, take responsibility for the glory of your family, and your choice to be a good person in the future.
Or are the bad guys responsible...
Under the pressure of such responsibilities, you ignorantly formed a worldview that was initially either black or white, good or bad.
So I believe that even if you are no longer so naive today - believing that life is a coin with only two sides to choose from - you have grown up to be able to see more "grey areas" in life and will write down
The person who said "weakness is human nature, not contemptible".
When you were a child, you must have been the child who often pestered your parents to ask "Is the protagonist a good guy or a bad guy" when watching movies?
Being eager to distinguish between good and bad is not your childish fault, but something imposed on you by this impetuous society. As a result, it is easy for our childhood to fall into despair and despair. Adolescents love to write about bone-chilling sadness in their articles.
.The crux of these problems is our naivety and our purity. We don’t know that there are actually many choices and many paths in life, and we don’t know that there are actually many entrances to happiness.
So, when I saw the little boy crying because he accidentally ran first and couldn't get the prize for third place - a pair of small shoes for his sister, my heart broke. I really
I want to jump into a movie, hug him, and tell him that without those little shoes, he and his sister will still have a happy childhood, the earth will turn around, and after crying, it will still be a new day.
But I had no choice, because I thought of the "little shoes" from my childhood - it was a beautiful pencil box with a new surface shining in the June sun. The physical education teacher said that as long as I got it in the sports meeting
The fourth place can get it, but I unscrupulously took the second place, feeling disappointed amidst the congratulations and hugs of everyone. After many years, the grievance is still there. Because at that moment, that pencil
The box is where all my desires and all my happiness lie.
Until today, even having a brand-new computer, MP3, DC and beautiful clothes cannot make me happy for a long time. I still think of that beautiful pencil box from time to time. I think of my childhood. In fact, I didn’t want much. But I put my heart and soul into it every time.
I look forward to using my own efforts in exchange for what I need. Even if I don't get it, I feel 100% disappointed, but if I get it, it will be accompanied by 100% joy, pleasure, and joy.
It’s just that I can’t remember when my desire began to expand infinitely like a fully inflated balloon. That balloon was a plaything in the hands of the dictator. It floated in the air like an unpredictable cloud, and fell to the ground and smashed into something that was hard to fill.
Gave of Desire. This is one of the many paradoxes in contemporary society - we laugh at the simplicity of children, but lament the insufficiency of desires in adult society. The human heart is sinister, longing for the purity that will never come back. When I was a child, a candy can also become happiness.
The source of wealth; when you grow up, mountains of gold and silver only make you restless and frowning.
It turns out that when we grow up, it’s not that we don’t like simplicity, it’s just that there are so many impure things attached to simplicity, and the word “simple” is hard to match. No wonder there are so many products clamoring for “simple but not simple”, simplifying.
It can also become a selling point in the contemporary era. But when we grow up today, our hearts are empty and full. We want so much, but we will never cry for not being able to get a pair of childhood shoes.
.”
Zhou Qingquan also did not hesitate to give in, and soon a new article was published.
"The camera suddenly slowed down, and Ali's blue sweatshirt swayed in the wind. His face was a little deformed due to nervousness, his head unconsciously swayed from side to side following his footsteps, and sweat rolled down his temples unconsciously.
In the silence, the only sounds that could be heard were the "ta" and "ta" of footsteps and their breathing that was heavy and rapid due to lack of oxygen. When he was about to run out of energy, some words began to echo in his mind: "How can I go to school without shoes?"
"Hurry up, Sarah, hurry up." "I will win the third place for you, I will." So I watched him take very nervous steps, surpassing the people in front of him step by step. Step by step, it seemed that he was trying his best.
, tears fell down in big drops.
That was a frustration in Ali's heart. He owed his sister a pair of shoes, which she had thrown away because of him. So he ran with all his strength, just to get the third place prize, a pair of sneakers. Five kilometers is a long time for a 9-year-old child.
Like a marathon, he had never received any training or guidance and finally won the championship. It was the hard and urgent life conditions that made him what he was, and it was the deep love and responsibility that gave him the faith that made him stand out in the most difficult times.
It became the strength for him to persevere.
Run, in the name of love. Live, in the name of love.
The age of 9 should be a carefree childhood. Just like the child Ali saw in the rich area, holding his teddy bear on a swing on a wicker chair and looking at the blue sky, Ali from a poor family died prematurely.
He shouldered his responsibilities as a family member, but at the same time he also understood the most precious emotional connotation of a family, which is love and responsibility. He did not tell his parents that he had lost his sister's shoes, not because he was afraid of being punished.
But he knew that his family was in a bad situation and his mother was seriously ill. Raising this kind of question only made matters worse. He loved his parents and just hoped that they would have less troubles.
Ali always felt guilty about his sister Sara Ali, and he tried every means to compensate her. Ali, who had excellent grades, got a golden mechanical pencil. He must have liked it very much. He carefully took it out and held it in his hand.
The gesture in his hand could be seen at a glance. But he gave the pen to Sarah and looked at his sister smiling, and he also smiled happily. He had always been poor at expressing in words and could only smile stupidly, but there was something written in his eyes.
Full of tenderness and love. This kind of tacit and warm relationship between brother and sister is always ignored in ordinary life, but it is so cherished in difficult times. He loves his sister, but he just hopes that she can be more
Be happy and be happy.
Because they only had one pair of Ali's sneakers, the two had to change to go to school. They exchanged in a secret corner. Sarah ran from school, and Ali changed her shoes before running to school. Because Sarah had various things happen on the way.
Due to delays, Ali was late almost every time and was warned by his master. However, he never said anything to Sara about this. He cherished his sister and would rather bear all the pressure and pain. When the director regarded being late as too late as
Because he was being kicked out of school, he couldn't defend himself and just cried silently. He suddenly didn't know how to describe the bitterness and twists and turns involved.
In the whole film, Ali moved me the most. His careful and attentive love for his sister, his understanding of his parents, and his responsibility to the family are a feeling that has been missing in ordinary families. We see more and more
The harder life is, the more sincere the feelings of supporting each other become.
"Little Shoes" conveys simple but touching warmth to us everywhere. Love does not have to be gorgeous clothes, but can be expressed with countless snacks. Love is when Ali discovers that Sarah's pencil is too short for her little hand to hold.
When he couldn't stop, he silently put his pen in front of her.
When Ali came home, his disappointed eyes made his sister walk away sadly. The sad champion took off his shoes that had leaked the soles, and put his red and swollen feet into the pool. At this time, a group of goldfish in the pond slowly came around.
, they circled Ali's feet and pecked them gently, as if to comfort him, as if to congratulate him. In the faint sadness, Ali seemed to have become a child in heaven. We can't see Ali's face under the beautiful lens, maybe
There were still tears, self-blame and disappointment, but he didn't know that on the road at this time, his father's old bicycle contained new shoes bought for Ali and his sister, a pair of white sneakers and a pair of red leather shoes that his sister had dreamed of...
..
In the movie, Ali often sheds tears; this thin little boy is strong and tolerant; but when his eyes were crystal clear at this time, I was deeply hurt.
There is always a stubborn light in Ali's big clear eyes. This stubbornness keeps Harry's passion for unremitting efforts towards his goals, and also explains many of his qualities, including his care for his sister, his consideration for his parents,
The love for learning, the respect for kindness, and the intelligence and wit that one should have, all come from the heart and come from nature. This nature is so natural that at the end, the director can boldly leave the disappointment to Ali and leave it to Ali.
The surprise is left to the audience. It is this kind of ending that allows us to let Ali leave a mark on our hearts. The place closest to God is not only in Jerusalem. Ali and his sister are children of heaven. They use their innocent and brave words
Smile defeats the cruelty and coldness of reality."
