    A workbook, such a small entry point, the film is so full. From the perspective of children, we will examine the problems of adult society, the contradiction between feudal order and family care, the impact of modern business on traditional craftsmanship, and the premature overdraft of child labor. Adults always ignore children's explanations and force children to obey. Only the old carpenter was listening carefully, but he himself had long since been ignored. A workbook that leads to a...

    @小西天. All the hallmarks of his films can be found in Abbas's style-forming work: the boy's lonely journey, the bitter and absurd repetition of life (adults repeat their own words over and over, ignoring children's requests; boys obsessively repeat their own Demands, ran over the Z-shaped hillside twice), the long-range long-range lens and the inside reverse shot, and the poetry of the dried flowers in the workbook. The robber logic that teaches children to be strong and obedient is so familiar,...

    A certain style of walking and searching, which seems to be repeated in Abbas' follow-up films with a partial plot The front and back of the front and back of the co-pilot or the window. And the communication failures that often occur intentionally or unintentionally cannot be classified. In Abbas's films, it seems that there is no need for annotation and unavoidable normality. That little flower is what the audience gets, and what the little protagonist gets is that night of anxiety and...

    Unbelievable, such a simple and even a bit irrational story, so full, rich and warm, a movie on the road like a group of Iranian rural people. It is too difficult to directly interpret the feelings and psychology of children with the camera. Very magical relationships, neither cold nor hopeful, only the child is forced to remain "warm" and sincere. It also made the last old man who made the door and window look very warm, so the child would not hesitate to return it with a lie. Seeing it in...

    I could have given four stars, but the dubbing of this Taiwan version made me sick to death~~~~ In addition, the plot was a little dull, the actors were all stupid, and the most unbearable thing for me was the procrastination of the dialogue. Typical: The blacksmith asked Ahmad for a piece of paper, and Ahmad said "I will be scolded" five times... 囧 Because of that little flower, I still gave it four stars from three...

    The best kind of children's film, Abbas does a great job. The world of children is like this. The trivial things in the eyes of adults may be big things in their eyes. The violence and cold violence given to the adult world by children's simplicity and belief are too powerful. There is also the preciousness of friendship, "riding a thousand miles alone". Love the ending, really leopard...

    Great Abbas! Always be able to use a light story, a little bit of justice to the complexity of the adult world. If Majid Majidi's "Little Shoes" makes people see the golden innocence, then this film makes people see innocence, and at the same time digs into the "social system and human ignorance crushing personality and beauty". It was the tip of a knife that licked blood - if you didn't say it well, you would be sealed, and even become an enemy of the world, but Abbas did it easily. On the...
