Born to be human, why to be home

Three and a half stars, with the director's nuanced observation of the slums, it's hard not to be moved by these homeless children struggling on the streets. However, the traces of the play design are obvious. The screenwriter knows how to manipulate the emotions of the audience and is overly emotional, although the periodic court scenes interrupt the overall narrative and bring the audience a chance to breathe. But then again, what we should remember is not the details of the story, but the impression of class divisions in Lebanon in the eyes of a brave, foul-mouthed boy. In some ways, it's a lot like Oliver Twist in the new age. The performance of the non-professional actors is very solid, especially the performance of the little boy is very exciting, and the final frame at the end even reminds me of "Four Hundred Blows".

"The Thief's Family" cuts into the vagueness of human nature from a universal social problem, while "Capernaum" uses personal circumstances as a sample to expose the lack of social institutions. Both do the best in their respective frameworks, but the former is more textually ambiguous. There are too many vivid and vivid details in "Capernaum", but when these details are evenly scattered in the film like seeds, they lose that shocking power. Regarding the logical relationship between Zain's "wandering" and "going to prison", compared with the interlocking play structure of "Little Guy", the director's current handling is obviously too perfunctory.
