    In fact, this is not an easy movie to keep watching. As a spectator, it is entirely a bystander watching the story of the little girl. The desire for goldfish also appears in "The Turtle Can't Fly". Efficiency comes first after work. Children are really a group of super inefficient creatures~ Super ego, stubborn and ungrateful. It was only when I saw the white balloon at the end that I remembered the name of the movie, and the Afghan boy was left at the...

    A few less balloons, more moving chewing gum, kids help kids. When the problem of withdrawing money becomes a game, it is a solution for children, but children who buy chewing gum cannot join this game. Finally, the audience's attention turned to the intruding Afghan boy, and the true meaning of the white balloon began to appear. The passers-by said to him, "Go home, child." Where should we go? He is sitting at the door of the closed shop to welcome the new year... There is a consistent...

    Barely pass. This debut work by Panasi is like the handwriting of Makmapav. The actors are well adjusted. The main line is as simple as buying a goldfish for the New Year. Many characters, Kiarostami's script is still very creative. The two characters of the snake charmer and the balloon boy actually project the social reality of Iran - the snake charmer seems shameless and takes the girl's money. The bridge part of the performance hides the past of the Persian ancestors who served as...

    It's better than the small shoes and the blackboard. The innocent and cute but cruel and ungrateful child, the carbine killed beautifully, the audience thought at least there was a thank you, leaving a ruthless back again, only a lost, lonely white balloon . This leopard tail is comparable to the inspection on the way, the memory of murder, and the third person. Really talented director. Children symbolize the people, and people are not always...

    Why are there so many children's films in Iran, the key is that they are all so well shot; children face cramps when they encounter problems, they are pure white inexperienced, innocent children can't bear to see them, from entertainers, shop owners to soldiers and brothers. The balloon hawkers are all "admitted"... This is teaching audiences like me to be human! It made me feel ashamed; the whole film did not have the strong dramatic core of [Little Shoes], but it explained one thing smoothly...

    9 points. The little girl is so cute, I don't know how to remember so many lines, but she can play it freely and seamlessly. The whole process of buying platinum fish was twists and turns, and I met many good people. In the end, my brother who sold balloons was a big...

    After watching a few Iranian children's movies, I found a characteristic that their children directly collide with the world of adults. One is that many children drop out of school, and they enter the society to make a living when they are teens. The other seems to have no toys and entertainment games between children. Children directly collide with the adult world on the street. The way adults treat them is almost the same as adults treat adults, and they don't treat them as children. Their...

    Children's perspective. The father who only heard his voice, the men huddled around doing nothing, the compassionate woman, the helpless child, the balloon boy who kindly helped. The plot is very simple, and the shot scheduling is very precise, especially the follow-up shots at the busy market at the beginning and the manoeuvring in the quadrangle courtyard at home. Screenwriter Abbas, Jaffa Panahi's debut, Cannes Camcorder...

    The two brothers and sisters are actually the protagonists of the show. They meet all kinds of people in the process of looking for money. The more important they are at the end, the boy from the other province who finally appears has no doubt sublimated the theme: the real goodness from the bottom of the society is often overlooked and forgotten in the new year. The solitary "white balloon" when the clock strikes is a haunting image... "The end is the beginning" The Persian god narrative is...

    I thought the snake charmer would not return the money to the little girl, I thought the young soldier would lie to my sister, I thought my brother would steal the blind man's chewing gum, I thought the Afghan boy would beat the gun-stick brother and walk away, I thought the shopkeeper didn't Will come to the store door on New Year's Day... The result is the opposite of what I thought. Maybe the movie is a pure place, which can describe the beauty of human nature flatly, and we show the...

    Represent the original appearance of children

    This is a very everyday and trivial movie. I felt that I didn't understand what the movie really wanted to express, but I just felt that the movie brought me into the perspective of children, regardless of nationality and skin color, children always have their similarities. And people always have...

    Disappointment at the end

    I deliberately watched and searched several movie analysis and watched some different friends, and found that the reason why this director is called Iran's very individual director is really a strong personal style. The movie has always been They all simply describe the process of a little girl...
