The story is simple. My brother, who was still in elementary school, lost his sister's only shoe on the way. My father didn't have the money to buy a new pair of shoes for her. So the two decided not to tell their father to avoid being beaten. From then on, the siblings began to wear the same pair of shoes, the only pair of shoes the two children owned: the older brother's sneakers. My younger sister has to run back every day after school at noon to change her shoes to my elder brother at the intersection to go to school.
This kind of life makes it difficult for both of them. The younger sister was worried that her classmates would laugh at her dirty and old sneakers; the elder brother was often late for changing shoes until he was forced to leave the school by the dean. When my brother walked back, the tears in his eyes deeply moved me. This is the sadness of a child, not the sadness that can be expressed in words such as poverty, but a pure childhood sadness, just because of shoes, because of innocent being late.
In the end, the brothers and sisters got some exciting news. They won the third place in the long-distance running of the Games and they could get a pair of sneakers. His brother participated in the sports meeting for this goal, and his dream of winning a pair of shoes for his sister made him magically run first. When he was exhausted and ran across the finish line, the first thing he said was: "Am I the third runner-up?"
Having been used to watching children's films full of stunts and grown-ups made by Hollywood, watching this film makes me feel even better. The sincerity of Little Shoes. Really, what touched me the most about it was its sincerity. Only an Iranian director can make such a truly child-friendly film. Many movies before this either used the adult world to demonize the world of children, or they presumptuously speculated on children's thoughts, and sought adult understanding explanations for children's behaviors, but it was just reciprocity.
In "Little Shoes", the director is sincere. He regards himself as a child and starts from scratch on the road of innocence, sharing joy and sorrow with his brother and sister. He can't arrange any suspense and stories, but the power of childhood life itself touched everyone. The story has no extra branches, so calmly said that the loss of shoes was such an accident that brought changes to the children's lives, and pushed the two innocent and sensible children in front of the audience so unadorned, let the audience follow The brothers and sisters revisited the world of childhood.
The two children in the play are said to be facing the camera for the first time without any special training. Children's true performance is also the key to the success of the film. I have to admire the director's effort in selecting actors. Such lovely two children, with big eyes, innocent expressions, and sensible manners; just like this, they showed the warm side of childhood. I have always disliked those ferocious child overlord images, perhaps related to some of the shadows of my childhood, and the two children in "Little Shoes" satisfy my desire for childhood life:
they should be with such cute and cute children. , spend childhood, spend life.
