run, keep running. What a firm belief that is. The eyes of his younger sister Qi Fan and the words of disappointment lingered in his heart, and under the sun, he only strives to move forward for love. Tears slid down his face along with sweat, and the breeze gently blew the corners of his clothes. In the quiet air, only the sound of footsteps falling and the sound of breathing slightly due to tension can be heard. For a while, we saw the fierceness of the game, and even felt how superhuman efforts Ali put in to get his sister's satisfied smile. run in the name of love.
The film opens with a fixed long shot with no dialogue. An old man was simply repairing a pair of worn-out shoes. This unassuming pair of shoes is both the beginning of the story and the main thread that drives the entire film. Moving away from the camera, we see a little boy with pure light in his eyes, running around the streets of the city, silently paying for the life of his family. The immature face and gentle childish voice vividly showed the youthful ignorance unique to his age. How anxious he was to lose his sister's newly repaired shoes! Even though he was reprimanded loudly by the shop owner, he still returned to look for it with a glimmer of hope. How precious is this kind of unwilling to give up and slightly stubborn childishness. In the good old days of childhood, we would be excited for a pen, an eraser, a new dress, a long-awaited trip, but when we grow up, even if we have something brighter and more delicate, we will look for it again. It will not be the joy and comfort that came from the heart and hearty. When we were young, we just simply believed, so fairy tales became beautiful dreams, laughter turned into bubbles, and the colorful light in the sun dissipated all the haze. The use of accumulation montage allows us to see how children solve the problems in life with the simplest and most simple mutual trust. There is so much unspeakable sadness and helplessness in that hidden corner after school every day. Ali, who was late again and again, could only cry silently in the face of the headmaster's stern questioning. How can those heavy thoughts be easily said in a few words? Ali has always felt guilty about his sister. He has been expressing this apologetic love and concern with practical actions. The pens and prizes obtained with full marks are the long-distance running competition with sneakers. As long as it is for his sister, he is willing to give and give. The most sincere love in the world is like this.
At the end of the film, in the chaos, Ali took the lead in crossing the line. Fate is like this, always making a ridiculous joke at inappropriate times. Ali has received praise like never before, but how could the excited crowd notice the crystal tears on Ali's face? He got the best, but not what he wanted the most. When they got home, the siblings stared at each other. A close-up of taking off his shoes allows us to see how difficult the conditions are for Ali to run the entire distance. Sometimes love is just that way, it can give people unlimited energy.
In the last scene of the film, Ali stretched his feet full of blood blisters into the clear water, and a group of small fish swam quietly to his feet, as if to comfort him or congratulate him. This loving image is so warm and touching. In this sweet pain, Ali and his sister illuminated the dark and cold reality with the purest and brightest smiles. At this moment, they are all children of heaven...
