    Wartime hero version of 080621 Lord Of Flies, the little protagonist satellite is like our little soldier Zhang Ga, witty and brave, precocious but still innocent. Although it shows a very heavy theme, because of the children's natural and sincere performances, it seems full of childlike innocence, although from another perspective, it contrasts with the cruelty of...

    The cut-in point of the story is the children in war, and the narrative is very calm in terms of story, dialogue, plot, and narration. Under such a simple and unpretentious lens, the use of cool tones cast a layer of moisture on the picture. A lot of frame composition is too beautiful (shot script!?). Although the tone was normal and quiet, the internal wounds of the war showed the same bloody pain. Silence is another power. Very , slightly...

    A heavy children's film by Iranian director Bahman Gobadi, which indicts the cruelty of war from a child's point of view, shows how distorted human nature can be during wartime, and in a blink of an eye, it has become a high-sounding rhetoric of politicians. After watching this movie, I was wondering when "children" were no longer defined as "children", when they were blown to pieces with landmines, or when they realized that there is no love in this world , everything is just the...

    The rhythm is great! Realistic, but with a sense of oil painting, amazing! So bitter, yet sweet. With a wonderful perspective, it can only be said that the Iranians are masters of finding beauty in the ashes. Of course they were forced...

    Children in war, too cruel childhood. They have to mature prematurely, to adapt to roles they shouldn't be playing, and to take on pain they shouldn't be at this age. There is no need to make up too many stories, as long as they see them twisted into the lives they have become accustomed to, outsiders will be heartbroken. The film does not give people any hope, and that somber tone may be its greatest...
