There are no fancy shots, no colorful editing, no exaggerated performances, and no grand pattern, but the simple and plain story makes people cry. The 89-minute film recounts a very simple story - the brother lost his sister's shoes, so the two wore the same pair of shoes, and also used this to hide from their parents. The famous prize was a pair of shoes. He gladly participated and promised his sister to get the shoes, but he won the first place at the end of the competition. When everyone was celebrating for him, he cried because he didn't get it for his sister. Those beautiful shoes.
The story is about children and families, and the shoes are the thread that runs through the entire film.
At the beginning of the movie, my sister's shoes come from my mother's hands. Although the family is poor, the family lives a happy life. Even if you don't watch it, it is established that the movie will be a warm drama. Family and love are filled with the whole family, and it also reflects the family background in which the story takes place.
The elder brother lost his younger sister's shoes, and the two wore the same pair of shoes to school in order to hide their parents. The elder brother pleases the younger sister, and the younger sister does not tell the truth to the parents but obeys the elder brother. This is based on the trust and love between the two. The simple dialogue and expressions between the brother and sister are sympathetic and frowning.
In an episode in the brothers and sisters changing shoes, the younger sister shed tears of grievance because the shoes were so big that the shoes fell into the water and the younger sister ran after the shoes. For you and me, things outside the body may not cost too much to find, but shoes are like life to her, because in her immature brain, these shoes are not just for wearing, but for herself and her brother. The agreement and the testimony of the two people's affection, at that time my nose was a bit sour, and kind people always meet kind people, and a kind-hearted old man helped her.
The younger sister saw that the classmates in the class were wearing exactly the same shoes as theirs, so they followed the girl after school, only to find that the girl's father was blind, and the siblings left silently. Poverty did not make the brothers and sisters worse, but they chose kindness when facing people who were more difficult than them. Kindness is because children have the cleanest hearts.
The brother tried his best to participate in the competition for his sister's shoes. He ran tirelessly again and again, but he took the first place by accident. He knew that the shoes were the reward for the third place, so he cried and cried so sadly. This plot is also the most touching part of the film. The difficult environment in life and the daily running have made him, and it is also the belief and the responsibility to shoulder the love that gives him strength, and the tears are full of guilt even if he It's good enough, we're struggling to run against the current and life always makes jokes on us, which is unexpected. And at this very moment, the character of my elder brother kept appearing in my heart. My loving love for my younger sister, my understanding of my parents, and my responsibilities to the family also made me cry when I recall this character.
At the end of the film, Dad got back two new pairs of shoes, which also brought the whole film to a successful conclusion. As a children's film, it also had a good ending.
Small shoes are the big to see the small, witnessing the kindness, trust, love and hard work of the people at the bottom of the society, and it also strongly reflects the serious social stratification in Iran in 1997, the gap between the rich and the poor is large, and it also fully understands that "the children of poor families are early According to the concept of "being at home", the nine-year-old should be a carefree childhood, just like the child Ali saw in a wealthy area, holding his teddy bear on a rattan chair, swinging on a swing and looking at the blue sky. Ali took up the obligation as a family member prematurely, but at the same time he also understood the most precious emotional connotation of a family, which is love and responsibility. He didn't tell his parents that he lost his sister's shoes, not because he was afraid of being punished, but because he knew that the family's situation was not good and his mother was seriously ill. This kind of question made it worse. He loves his parents and just wants them to have less trouble and less trouble.
But for the film, it is more about the happiness and joy between children. Maybe everyone has a small pair of shoes in childhood, it may be a comic book, an unremarkable doll, but these simple things gradually disappear as we grow up, and we want more and more things More and more things, but the happiness has been decreasing, that kind of simplicity and innocence, we once tried to get rid of it, because we feel that it is a kind of childishness, as we grow older, we may find that, Those are the most precious things in us. Maybe life is like this. The most precious things are actually owned by you at the beginning. The process of growing up is the process of slowly throwing them away. Sometimes we don't understand ourselves, why Are we less and less happy? In fact, happiness is very simple, it just complicates us.
