Everything goes with the wind and the story is in your heart

(After reading it, my heart hurts fiercely. Although I am not a professional, I may feel ashamed of what I wrote after a while, but I still want to record it lightly...)

At first I was attracted by the style of painting, and I learned a lot of stories about Afghanistan by watching cartoons. I still remember the indescribable sense of separation, and I've enjoyed it a lot.

Narrative: Real life is the main thread, interspersed with the stories told between the protagonists, and our audience slowly understands the country of Afghanistan while listening to the stories. The two images of paper-cut and cartoon characters distinguish the main line and the branch line, so you can't understand it. Roughly divided into two parts, the father told Parwana about the history of Afghanistan, as if recalling the beauty of the past. The fairy tales that Parvana tells are biased towards the magical reality. She coaxes her brother to sleep in the movie and also reads it to Parvana herself, comforting herself during the curfew. There's a lot of content in every frame of the movie (I found out after doing my homework).

Role: I later learned that it was the team that produced "Song of the Sea"! The real life is in a flat cartoon style, and the stories told are in the style of shadow puppets and puppets, with strong exotic cultural characteristics and easy to distinguish. The images that appear in fairy tales are the elephant king, the figurative image of the Taliban, and the protagonist of the fairy tale, Suleiman.

Names: Deliwa means "courage", Odish means "fire", Hala means moon halo... Mostly good meanings. One of the Taliban soldiers listened to Parvana's letter from afar and asked Parvana to point out where his wife's name was. The second time they met, he wrote the name of the murdered wife all over the page in a distorted font. When I saw this, I felt very uncomfortable, and the character distortion was very strong. On the one hand, I was a soldier who wanted to protect my family and defend the country. On the other hand, I was a husband who still failed to protect my beloved.

Content: Roughly divided into three parts: the historical background, real life, and the stories told by the protagonists. The movie has been emphasizing that "our most precious asset is people". My father talked about the history of Ariana, the constraints of women in real life, and the longing for the future among friends. At the end of the movie, Suleiman's story also came to an end. He was killed because he built a weapon disguised as a toy. Calm down in the nursery rhyme. The movie ends peacefully, but new stories are still happening...

    I still prefer the animation of the old world. The protagonist does not have the aggressiveness and hyperactivity produced by Disney, nor does it have so many high-tech stacks. The form is simple, but it can better understand the terrible religious atmosphere and the complexity of human nature. Stories can tame elephant kings, and writing can move gangsters. Although naive, ordinary people can only rely on these fantasies to relieve their grief. The streets are changed by blocking, and the narratives are connected by myths, which are all great.

    At the beginning of seeing the movie poster, I thought of the secrets of the Kells, Song of the Sea and the Prophet. As expected, the film has the same blood. The two-line painting style and the two-line plot are echoed and combined into one, from green, yellow, blue to red, from forest, ocean, desert to land. Many directors have their own style, but a good director is a style that depicts a wonderful world.

The Breadwinner quotes

  • Parvana: What about your father? Doesn't he depend on you?

    Shauzia: I'm a good son, but he is not a good father.

  • Parvana: What will you do by the sea?

    Shauzia: I'd buy things and sell things like I do here but, for myself. There are people who go to the edge of the water to do nothing! They just sit there and they look at the sea with their sunglasses on, or swim about on floating tubes. So, I could sell them those things.
