Ivan has a pair of beautiful eyes and a handsome face that seems to be carefully carved. But at the moment, with deep dark circles under his eyes, his hair was messed up like grass, his face was tired, and he seemed to be thinking. His eyes were full of emotions that he shouldn't have at his age, and even the way he spoke, he didn't look like a 12-year-old child. It's terrifying to see a child look like this and say something like that.
The first time I saw this movie, I only felt that little Ivan's performance was too old and too exaggerated. I thought that a 12-year-old boy would never have such eyes in reality.
When I was buying water yesterday, I suddenly realized that the shopkeeper was a teenage boy with a look very similar to Ivan's. So go home, turn on the computer, and watch it again.
The impression of the film is that at the beginning of the film, the hand stood up abruptly in the darkness, with five fingers curled up and stretched, like a strange plant. I still remember Ivan's various faces—the look of asking for a phone call at the beginning of the little adult, the ecstatic look when he saw Colin, the resolute eyes when he asked the commander to fight, and the commander finally agreed to let Ivan go. The tearful smile on little Ivan's face during the investigation, the innocent face in his memories.
Stoves and chimneys will never burn, but living through war or poverty can change a child's future. Ivan's eyes on the photo in the enemy's file at the end contain too much. But these should not belong to him.
