"The film is from the perspective of a simple common people. Although they live in poverty, they are not depressed, but try their best to make their lives better. People can be poor and endure pain, but they cannot give in to them."
"Children from poor families will also have heaven-like happiness."
"The movie is very simple, but the good thing is that it is simple enough, with a simple story and simple characters, but perhaps it is this simplicity that touches the audience who have become less innocent today, but today's less innocent audiences still like it simply
Simple beauty, so we like the simplicity and beauty these little shoes bring us.
I like my brother running a race desperately to get a pair of shoes for my sister, I like my sick mother not forgetting to let my tired father drink a cup of tea, I like the rich grandfather giving a good salary to his hard-working father, I like my sister giving up her beloved shoes to
Another little girl likes a poor little girl who picked up a beautiful pen but returned it to its original owner, and likes her father who spent all his salary on his family but forgot to buy himself a motorcycle.
Like this movie it tells us that the world is still beautiful."
These comments all come from the first batch of moviegoers!
Of course, because the number of people was relatively small after all, it was only after the film had its first special screening in China that the reviews gradually increased.
In fact, Li Yi's movies often give people the feeling that there is no need to distinguish between language and place.
What's interesting is that the response to "Little Shoes" in China has been very good, and many people don't feel that sense of isolation at all.
"Although "Little Shoes" is a film set in Iranian society, its core is universal.
I have seen many movies depicting poverty, but none of them have a smooth narrative like this. In fact, this kind of story is already a bad script nowadays, but it is rare for a movie to use a child's perspective to enter the world of poverty.
Children seem to have a stronger sense of idealization than adults.
Compared with the rich, the lower class is already a small existence, and the body of a child will be even smaller than that.
The composition in the movie is like this. While showing the lower-class environment in Iran, the director used the lines of the dilapidated walls to squeeze Ali and his sister into it.
The two children constantly appear in this squeezed and closed composition, which not only shows the poor environment, but also shows the weakness of the children. When it comes to the rich area, the director prefers to use a larger panorama to show the rich than the poor area.
Kuan Pavilion in the district.
The contrast with wealth is not only cleverly used in "big", but also expressed in color. In the environment where the protagonist lives, except for the colors on other children's shoes, we basically cannot see other bright colors.
It is different in the rich areas. The color of the rich areas is much brighter than that of the poor areas. In particular, green is used the most. In the poor areas, not even a single plant can be seen. In the rich areas, all green plants are
It can surround the protagonist. In a wealthy area full of green, the vitality appears more active. The film intuitively conveys this contrast to the audience, and a visual message is conveyed to the audience's mind.
The life of the poor is more tortuous. At the beginning of the movie, the protagonist is doing the same trivial things in life. But an incident happens, which leads to a series of very annoying things.
Ditches appear many times in the movie. The dirty water in the ditch also symbolizes the filthy living environment of the poor. Later, when the sister was running, her shoes happened to fall into the ditch. The ditch served as the environment and drama.
The dual expression of the point. In addition, the foreshadowing of this dramatic point is also shown when the father and the protagonist return home after making money in the rich area. Before finding a job in the family, the father inspected and repaired the bicycle twice. The audience may have a feeling
It is implied that the bicycle will break down. Sure enough, just when they were planning their future life, their ideal life suffered a blow. The bicycle was a blow point that the director had already ambush. The life of the poor will indeed be more miserable.
with twists and turns.
Will the ideal world in children's eyes come true? The film is not about the collision between rich and poor, but about seeing the world from a child's perspective. When they see a weaker blind family, they will choose to leave with help, even if the little shoes originally belong to
Their belongings. Dad did not steal the sugar used in religion because the tea was sugar-free. The protagonist did not care about the fame gained by the first place, but felt sad about the loss of the prize. This is the extremely innocent world in the eyes of children.
Ali's understanding changed his identity. He taught his younger sister with an adult tone. But the ending of the movie is also in direct proportion to the child's innocence. In the end, the father bought new shoes. This child's adult
The fairy tale ends here.
What’s interesting is that the movie does not vilify the rich, but rather tells it in a straightforward manner. There are good and bad among them. This is real. The movie does not give people the impression of completely opposing the two classes.
The employer in "Little Shoes" is really generous and gives generous rewards to the poor.
At first, when I saw them being rejected and expelled again and again, I thought it would show a sense that bad luck only seeks out the poor. But the result was not the same. Instead, it truly showed that poor people are all good people.
?Not necessarily, all rich people are bad people? Of course not!
This is the real world.
Rather than conflict for the sake of conflict.
In "Little Shoes", there will be no conflict of interest between the poor and the poor, and everyone will help each other. The barriers between the poor and the rich are also broken by the play between children.
At the same time, what the movie shows is a kind of love for family and simple kindness. We are moved by it. Because there is always a child living in our hearts, and he is our only safe haven after being violently attacked by the cruel society.
Only by returning there can we feel calm and have a warm aftertaste."
Of course, because the movie is set in Iranian society, it can be said that it is a very interesting feeling for many people who are completely unfamiliar with this country.
"To be honest, I have always felt that Iran is a mysterious country, or a backward country full of various social problems, but this movie makes people feel completely different.
Perhaps it's because the movie itself was directed by our great Chinese director Li Yi, so I feel that many things in it are not difficult for us to understand.
For example, children of poor people become parents early. Many people in the country know this.
The movie shows what Ali did at the beginning. In fact, he only did a few things: going to the shoe repair shop to get his sister Sarah's shoes, buying cakes, and vegetables. He queued up like a group of adults and folded them skillfully and carefully.
Making naan cakes and getting credit from the convenience store owner. These things should be done by adults, but for Ali, he did things within his power too early.
Later, he did not tell his family about the shoes. Although on the surface of the movie, Ali kept emphasizing that if his father knew, he would be beaten, but in fact, through scenes, we knew that Ali was not afraid of being beaten.
The blame is because he knows that it is very difficult for his father and mother to maintain the family's livelihood, and he is unwilling to add a burden to the family.
However, because he is just a child, he has no other way to obtain it, so when he gets the opportunity, he fights for it with all his strength!
The second point, which is also amazing, is the devout faith and extremely correct outlook on life!
To be honest, in recent years, many movies and TV series, especially TV series, have really ruined all three views, including various money-worshiping views, incorrect views on love, etc., which makes people unable to help but sigh after watching them.
But in the movie "Little Shoes", there is a very correct outlook on life.
In the movie, Ali's home is a messy shared apartment, as well as a rented house with four bare walls, a baby waiting to be fed, and a mother who is sick and bedridden. The life that should have felt hopeless, does not have any air of despair, but is full of warmth.
Mom asked Sarah to bring a cup of tea to Dad who was preparing sweets for the sacrifice.
When little Sarah brought the tea, her father asked: "Where's the sugar?"
At that time, I thought my father was stupid. Wasn’t there a lot of sweets in front of me?
I think most people watching the movie are as confused as me. After all, Ali's father is not blind.
Of course, little Sarah said the same thing: "Aren't there many in front of you?"
The turning point was Dad: “This candy is from the mosque!”
Mom was half lying there and directly told Sarah that there was still sugar in the pot.
I have a good outlook on life and a devout belief. Although my family is very poor, I distinguish between public and private matters and have no selfish intentions. Only children educated in this way will have a correct concept of right and wrong. So here we can also remind parents: teaching by words and deeds is the only way.
It is the best way to educate.
I remember that every time we hold a parent-teacher meeting, the teacher will warn parents: Don’t play with mobile phones or watch TV loudly while their children are doing homework. We must learn to think from others’ perspective. When children do homework, they are already constraining their own nature. Parents should also
Playing in front of them is like eating pork ribs with spiced sauce in front of a hungry beggar. What do you think the beggar will think? What the beggar thinks is what you children think.
The third point is the enviable neighborly relationship.
I don’t know since when, everyone came to the city. After urbanization, everyone lived in high-rise buildings.
Many people don't even know the people who live across the street, and may not even visit them once throughout the year.
Before this, in rural areas, let alone neighbors, even people in the same village were basically familiar with each other.
We often say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but nowadays, this saying has become less realistic.
In the movie, what is shown to us is that helping each other in poverty is the most valuable thing.
I remember the relationship of visiting neighbors on the street in another movie directed by Li Yi, "Thieves of Time". In fact, it has the same purpose here. This really highlights the saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
In this film, Sarah goes to return her aunt's soup bowl, and Ali goes to deliver the soup. These make us feel that those winding and narrow alleys are not cold walls, but the warm nostalgia of the neighborhood.
It was these little things that made Sarah show that longing but helpless look in her eyes when she saw the little girl wearing her own shoes holding her blind father.
This is the kindness in the heart. There is a saying that goes well: Between being right and being kind, I choose kindness.
So Ali and his sister would rather run around in the wind and rain to change their shoes than have the heart to ask for them back. This is a kind of great kindness. It’s not about giving you what I don’t need, but I know that you lack it, so I give my best to you.
Good things are given to you. It is this kind of kindness that gives Sarah courage. Before this, Sarah had always envied her classmates' shoes, but after that, I think Sarah will at least no longer feel inferior, because giving means being rich.
Of course, Ruoya also has very good qualities. When she picked up a beautiful ballpoint pen, she also gave it back to Sarah without any intention of keeping it for herself.
Even though she actually likes it very much.
But she knows it's not hers!
Of course, the movie also has a twist, or comfort for a sensible child like Ali.
In order to get the sports shoes that were the prize for the third place, Ali ran forward desperately. Even if he fell, he gritted his teeth and continued forward. This kind of forbearance and strength, compared with the tears after winning the championship, can better highlight the motivation behind success.
Helpless and bitter. Everyone was laughing and taking photos with the champion. No one asked Ali what he wanted or why he was crying. This crying was helpless and a kind of despair. Because Ali could never think of anyone else who could give his sister a pair of shoes.
There's a solution.
I believe that at that moment, few people were not moved by him, especially because he was just a child, and he never had any other bad thoughts in his innocent and simple heart.

What a beautiful quality this is!
Nowadays, many of our children, as their living material conditions have improved, they cry and ask their parents and grandparents to buy whatever they want. It is too easy to get it, and naturally, there is no such process of hard work and struggle.
I don’t even understand that all of this is hard-won. Although, many times, schools will arrange some activities, such as CD-ROM operations, etc., it is difficult for children to truly understand that such activities are done once or twice.
Not easy!
Because often in the process of obtaining this, all they need to pay is one sentence!
The touching part of the movie is that Ali took off his shoes that were completely broken due to the race, and painfully put his blistered feet into the patio to soak. His heart was broken. But he didn't know that his father was coming home.
There are two pairs of brand new shoes in the basket.
Also, this is actually a movie that highlights love.
I saw 5 kinds of love. 1. The love between brother and sister; 2. The love between neighbors: including giving soup to the children and grandfathers in the villa area; 3. The love between classmates: picking up a beautiful pen but insisting on returning it; 4. The love between teachers and students
Love: Ali’s teachers can always give Ali the most ordinary but needed help and encouragement; 5. Love between husband and wife: Although there are only a few dialogues between Ali’s parents in the entire film, and more than half of them are quarrels. But I
But he felt the deepest love. Ali’s father scolded his mother for working and asked the landlord to find him. After getting money to repair the garden, the first thing he thought of was to buy an electric iron for his mother. If I have it, if you want it, I will
Give it to you; as long as I have it, as long as you need it, I will give it to you.
Finally, may the brave people not be let down, and may the strong people be happy!"
