      Humanity rescued

      Heavy enough to get used to. There will be no end to their promise. "My name is Salaman, my mom is a writer, my dad is a teacher, and my sisters are arguing every day, and one day I found a toy, I picked it up, and it exploded. I don’t remember what happened later, because it was the end.” The elephant king may be influenced, but the person who caused all this is always closed his eyes. Until now, it is still the case. Again, any conscientious person should absolutely resist war, at least...

      excerpt

      It tells a story that happened in Afghanistan during the Taliban rule. The little girl Parwana lives in a family of five. Her father lost a leg in the war. She relies on reading and writing letters for others, while selling valuable items from sellers. To make a living, the frail mother and the sister in the boudoir are unable to go out because of their female status, and the younger brother who was born not long ago has no ability to live. With the arrest of the father, the vulnerable...

      You listen to me tell you a story - the breadwinner

      listen to the story

      not a story

      There is a very special nation in a distant place. Women wear aprons on their heads. Men always walk like bears. In churches of faith, there are lords who only know males.

      They come from primitive...

      People in war, living is hope

      We are worried about the trivial matters of life every day, but on the other side of the world, there are still people who are worried about "being alive". As the little girl Parvana said in the movie, "We are the most precious people." Following Parvana's perspective, we see that in that society, women's status is so low that they cannot be casually engaged. Street, you can't buy and sell things, you can only wait to grow up, wait to get married, and all this is due to the war. The advent...

      heavy heart

      How to put it, I personally don't like films with this theme very much, because I feel very uncomfortable watching them. The orange flowers that run through the whole film are just embellishments, but they give people a feeling of hope. Even though the protagonist of the film is Parwana, I prefer her friend Xiao Xia, the optimistic girl who sees through the reality and is still full of longing and hope for life.

      "The Breadwinner" is not overly...

      "You can be sonorous, but don't clamor for power. It is the rain and dew that nourish the flowers, not the rolling thunder." After reading the tears, Parvana could be any of us. I sincerely hope that the world will be peaceful and there will be no...

      Using surrealism to feed back reality is a neat way to go, but that's it; the detached westernized perspective is totally insufficient to reflect the cruelty of the real Middle...

    Evaluation action

    In the 90th Oscar-nominated animated feature film, although it is not the best one, it bravely and uniquely uses the shoulders of animation to shoulder the righteousness of the world. The story is about the miserable world, but it is more than miserable. It also tells the bright mind in suffering, in the world of positive and negative collision, radiating moving brilliance. The contribution of the film to the world is that it brings...

    Movie quotes

    • Parvana: [Last Lines] Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that makes the flowers grow, not thunder.

    • Male Voice: [Voice over. On the screen is a row of women in burqas, seen through the mesh of a burqa] Women should not go outside and attract unnecessary attention! If a woman shows herself, she will be cursed by Islamic Sharia!

    • Parvana: But I'm not a boy!

      Shauzia: You're not a boy, you're not a girl.
