heavy heart

How to put it, I personally don't like films with this theme very much, because I feel very uncomfortable watching them. The orange flowers that run through the whole film are just embellishments, but they give people a feeling of hope. Even though the protagonist of the film is Parwana, I prefer her friend Xiao Xia, the optimistic girl who sees through the reality and is still full of longing and hope for life.

"The Breadwinner" is not overly sensational from beginning to end, but rather tells indifferently what happened in Afghanistan. Although the story in the movie is already very ideal, for reality, this work is too much Powerless; as an animation, this work is too heavy.

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.
