Although "Little Shoes" feels a bit like a children's film, in fact, it is not.
After expanding its domestic screenings, various media outlets also reported and gave the film high praise.
"Although "Little Shoes" is a film about the world of children, it actually contains many meanings.
The environment of the whole story is about the life of Muslims. Those simple and kind-hearted people have endless broad minds. They love life and love life, but they also suffer from poverty. But although they are poor in life, they are optimistic in spirit.
Cheerful. They firmly believe that the true God will bless everything. So they will give alms and help others. In the story, Ali and Sarah found the discarded shoes. When they wanted to ask for them back, they found that the father of the child was blind.
Although they only had one pair to wear, the children thought that the little girl needed these shoes more. They could only walk home silently looking at the girl's happy and innocent smile. Sarah did not tell her until the little girl bought a new pair of shoes.
Regarding the shoes. Even though the pair of shoes had been thrown away by the little girl’s mother as rags, the child’s heart is so pure and selfless.
This is not the first time that Director Li Yi has filmed a story about children. He is obviously a director who is extremely good at capturing children's psychological activities.
Sarah wore her brother's shoes to participate in sports activities. At first she was shy and angry. She was ashamed of her old and ill-fitting shoes. She hid her feet deep behind her classmates. Then the teacher praised her and told her the truth.
Sports shoes are the way to go in sports classes. A smile immediately broke out on Sarah's face, and she happily took out her feet and stood at the front of a row of shoes. Although the child is precocious and sensible, he is only a child after all. Mazhidi did not overemphasize these two things.
The mature side of the child is captured from some details that belong to the child, so the whole film appears childlike and simple, and the audience slowly appreciates and is moved by the gentle plot.
The styles of different regions have created different styles of movies, but the perseverance shown by human beings when facing difficulties is the same style. This may be what this film wants to tell us!" - "Film Weekly"
""Little Shoes" is actually about a kind of beautiful belief. If you are confident and optimistic about life and the world, you will definitely gain something. In the play, the Ali family has been worrying about daily necessities, but they have never lost their interest in life.
hope.
Ali's father is always looking forward to a better tomorrow, so he works hard for his hope.
Finally he made money and bought his wife and children what they wanted. Although it was still cheap, it was the first step towards success.
Ali always wanted to give his sister a pair of new shoes, and he fought for every opportunity in life. So he qualified to participate in the long-distance running competition, and finally won the championship. The prize was not sports shoes, but it opened up a new space for Ali.
And what about Sarah? She lost her only pair of shoes, but her complaint was just that her brother's shoes made her embarrassed. She didn't seem to complain, and was full of confidence that her brother would definitely give her new shoes. In the end, she got
A pair of beautiful bright red new leather shoes. In fact, this is also a positive attitude and way of life that the director describes throughout the film.
The most touching part of the film is the long-distance running competition. Ali ran forward desperately, and all that came to his mind was his sister wearing old shoes. His belief that he must win the third place surpassed every other player, and he ran
He reached the first place and pulled down the people behind him. But he only wanted to get the third place, because the prize for the third place was a new pair of sneakers, so he slowed down and returned to the third place. Ali was dragged down by other children.
On the ground, he got up and continued to rush forward. He closed his eyes and rushed to the finish line. He was the first. Ali fell to the ground, and the first thing the teacher asked when he lifted him up was: Did I get the third place?
?Ali stood on the podium looking at the pair of brand new shoes with tears and disappointment in his eyes... and at the last moment there was a close-up shot of the worn-out sneakers.
I like the style of "Little Shoes". This film makes people feel warm. Yes, what will happen if you are poor? As long as you have a firm belief, you will have everything." - Huang Chunhua, film critic of "Penguin Entertainment"
"I just finished watching the film "Little Shoes" with an Iranian background directed by Li Yi. I couldn't get back to my senses for a long time. I was very confused, but I felt deeply. The simple and clean picture shows that the Ali family is poor but full of hope for life.
I hope that little Ali will be able to share the hardships of life with his parents at a young age, and the sincere performances of the Ali brothers and sisters, etc., all moved me.
West Asia is a strange and mysterious place for many of us. We know it more about war, oil, desert, religion, and West Asia football that has repeatedly frustrated us. But this film greatly changed my impression of Iran.
Change. The neighborhood where Ali lives is poor and backward. Even buying a pair of shoes may bring a burden to the family. But the whole neighborhood is very clean and so are the people. Looking at the city, there are many tall buildings and trees. Little Ali went out to work with his father
Making money, and the luxurious villas of rich families fully demonstrate that Iran is a wealthy country. The movie strongly contrasts the huge difference between the rich and the poor, but all of this is viewed through the childish eyes of the brother and sister, which makes people feel
In poor life, there is still hope and warmth that money cannot buy.
The plot of the story is that little Ali lost his sister's shoes. In order not to burden his parents, the brother and sister took turns wearing Ali's smelly sneakers to school. In order to buy a new pair of shoes for his sister, little Ali tried his best to work as a gardener with his father.
After making money, he first hinted his father to buy a new pair of shoes for his sister. Finally, little Ali decided to participate in a long-distance running competition. The reason was that the prize for third place was a pair of sneakers, and Ali, who wanted to win third place, accidentally took it.
Champion. The disappointed little Ali took off his worn-out sneakers and dipped his bloody feet into the pool. Red goldfish swam around his injured feet...
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The English name of the film is "Children of Heaven". I like this name better than "Little Shoes". The reason is very simple. The sincere feelings between the Ali brothers and sisters make
I feel like I'm in heaven." - He Jie, film critic of "Southern Weekend"
At the same time, many fans have also given very high ratings to this movie.
On Popular Film Critics Online, it got a score of over nine.
"After watching "Little Shoes", I felt very real. The story of ordinary people's trivial matters is very close to people's hearts. The scene of Sarah running is really heartbreaking. Just for a pair of lost shoes, it caused so many bitter plots and long depth.
The alleyways and ditches also have a very lens-like feel, the lines of the street pavement, and the rich texture of the broken walls are enough to create the visual form of the movie, and the shots are very clean.
The characteristics of poverty can be expressed in many ways, including tattered strips of cloth and scrap iron, or disgusting sewage, but the film itself pays attention to the sense of form, in order to better focus on the storyline, rather than being indifferent.
The record is in tatters. "Little Shoes" is a story of the poor, but it is not an exhibition of poverty, but a display of human wisdom, how to solve embarrassment and maintain face. Children have their own clever ways to overcome difficulties. They are originally
In a school, boys and girls can take advantage of the opportunity to alternate between classes. This may seem childish and ridiculous to people, but in the living environment there, the children's seriousness and persistence are incomprehensible to the teachers. It is the adults who
The perseverance that is missing.
The ending of the race also made us couldn't help but cheer and applaud, especially the ending of the movie was so unexpected. The completion of the story could have been achieved but it was left to us to think about at this moment. Maybe I am used to the perfect ending of the Chinese model. Destiny is the same as Ali's.
It was a joke. Ali accidentally won first place, and the reward was changed from small shoes to a holiday camp and a set of sportswear. I only saw Sarah walking away disappointed, and saw Ali's feet covered with blood blisters
A close-up shot of the fish soaking in the well water, the goldfish surrounding Ali's feet seems to be soothing. It's very plain and ordinary, and it ends like this. It's still unfinished. Maybe this is to express the sadness of Ali not getting some shoes for his sister?
A movie is just a story brought to us by the director and screenwriter. Only we can feel the deep meaning hidden in the story. What everyone feels is what the story wants to tell us, just like this "Little Shoes"
", I feel infinite family affection from it, what about you?"
"I read an introduction to "Little Shoes" online and I was a little impressed. I finally watched it yesterday and couldn't help but share my thoughts.
Generally speaking, when watching this movie, I feel like a breeze blowing on my face, which makes people feel very fresh and comfortable. Although people at the bottom of society are economically poor, it does not affect their ability to live with dignity. Although their families are poor and have to pay
He couldn't afford the rent and had to buy things on credit, but his father still taught his daughter not to take advantage of the church; after her sick mother cooked a pot of soup, she didn't forget to give a bowl to an old couple next door.
, which makes people feel a little bit warm. Especially, my brother is trying to
The scene of my sister racing hard with her little shoes is infinitely touching...
This is the first time I have watched a movie with an Iranian background. The movie is full of positive things and full of hope from beginning to end. Perhaps it is due to the power of religion. I hope I will have the opportunity to be exposed to more such movies in the future.
BTY, Director Li Yi should go out and travel more. I feel like each of the "travel" movies he makes introduces the customs and customs of different places.
No wonder so many foreign regions want to invite Director Li Yi to travel, hahaha!"
"Honestly, most of us' first reaction to the country of Iran is that it is a mysterious country. This country has fanatical religion, endless wars, rich oil, and football that dominates West Asia.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this movie was directed by Director Li Yi, it would be difficult for us to even see it released in domestic theaters, and we wouldn't be interested in watching it, but I'm very glad that I went to watch it.
Although this is a children's movie, the movie reflects a lot of helplessness for adults, the feeling of a world trapped by poverty, and the idea of constant struggle. It kept impacting my brain. Little
Young children have worked hard to get out of trouble. Even if things in life do not turn out as they imagined, as long as they work hard, there will be different results.
Ten thousand people have ten thousand childhoods. Ali's childhood was obviously unfortunate. He raced against time for a pair of shoes, during recess and on the field. However, his childhood was lucky, and he could work so hard for a pair of shoes.
I don’t know what his future life will be like, but these shoes will always be engraved in the depths of his memory. Maybe this will be an inspiration, an inspiration to work hard for life. A bitter childhood, a busy childhood.
Watching this movie, I couldn't help but think of my own childhood. Although I wasn't so embarrassed, it was still a bit bitter in the end."
"A simple story, silent emotions, a beautiful but poor childhood, a family full of love, even if there are quarrels, poverty and tears, it is still beautiful. The story is as cute and innocent as the title. The camera is not beautiful, but it is unusually simple and delicate.
, so simple that it feels like the young actors in front of the camera are not acting at all. This is their life, the life of a family born at the bottom of Iranian society.
Ali went to help his sister pick up the old shoes that had been repaired. On the way back, he accidentally lost them. His sister cried, and his brother also cried with guilt. This is the only pair of shoes that his sister has. How will he go to school tomorrow? In order not to get hurt
The brother begged his sister not to tell her parents yet. This scene couldn't be better. They were a little resentful but protected each other and did not dare to cry. Ali and his sister were sensible, tough and kind, and faced difficulties in order not to cause trouble to their parents.
It's heartwarming to understand each other and support each other. I really want to hug these two poor children.
A lot of the film is about the current situation, and the director does not use small-scale narrative techniques to satirize the problems of society, class, and the gap between rich and poor. The narrative style of the film is calm and gentle, without any deliberateness, and does not overly exaggerate the unhappiness of the people at the bottom.
Focusing on the small interaction between the brother and sister, the entire plot revolves around a pair of shoes. There is not much dialogue, just the delicate shots between the two children. You will find that the most powerful touching is actually silent.
What you see in the movie is neither superficial inspiration nor cheap sympathy. What you see is the simple and beautiful power that shines with the first light of life. At the end of the movie, the brother and sister look at each other in silence by the pool, conveying a sense of clarity.
The pure Zen atmosphere and all the fancy film techniques are too shy to appear here.
In a person's life, there will be countless difficulties one after another. We have nothing at first, and we may still be at a loss after reaching a goal. But as long as we have the courage to work hard and a struggling attitude towards life, we can live a successful life.
Wonderful and meaningful life. Maybe we are just pursuing something that some people don’t care about at all, because the world is inherently unfair in this way, but the struggle experience in pursuit and the joy when we get the shoes in our hearts,
But no one can take it away from us.
Being able to sympathize with others with a kind heart when you are in difficulty; being able to still have a happy and peaceful mood and still be full of hope for life when facing adversity is a noble sentiment. Only such talents can
