"Colors of Heaven".
I forgot the name of the director of the movie, but the protagonist of the movie, a blind little boy named Murman, made my heart hurt. Mo Man is a kind, intelligent and diligent child, but because he is blind, the reality of poverty makes his father deprive him of the opportunity to continue his studies in the blind school. His father thinks Mo Man is a burden and delays him from marrying the woman he likes, so he takes Mo Man. Man sent it to the carpenter, and the kind and simple grandmother died because she resisted her son's abandonment of her grandson... Maybe it was the grandma's resistance to death that awakened the father's humanity full of evil and evil, and decided to take Moman home, but why is he When my father led Moman on horseback to cross the single-plank bridge, at that moment, my father was complicated and tangled? Did he know that if he crossed this bridge, Murman would fall off and be washed away by the flood? Still unintentional? The complex expression of the father's close-up at that moment is remorse? pity? self-blame? Or a ruthless decision?
The whole film is very quiet, so quiet that only the sound of the wind, the sound of birds chirping, and the sound of leaves falling... The film uses a lot of colorful exterior scenes. After Murman dropped out of school and returned to his hometown, he was in the wild grass with his grandmother and sister. A bright picture of playing in. The blue sky, the splendid flowers, and the lovely and pure laughter of her sister, Morman is perceiving all of this with her own ears and heart. Murman, the kind and bright of his grandmother's sister is in stark contrast to the sinister side of his father. The scene in the film that made my heart soft but moved me was: the young students in the disabled school were picked up by their parents one by one, and only Murman was sitting on the school bench alone waiting for his father. In a quiet school, Murman heard the call of the bird that fell to the ground. He groped to the bird's side with the sound, picked up the bird and climbed up the tree by the same direction of the sound, and put the bird. Put it in the bird's nest on the tree... On the way home by car with his father, Morman sat by the window, put his hand out of the window,
and asked his father with a pure and longing look: Dad, what is this?
The father reluctantly replied: it is the wind
There are not many lines in the film, but I am deeply remembered by this sentence! The innocent and longing for bright colors of Murman and the real evil father made me unable to calm down for a long time after watching it. This is a return to my father's humanity. At the end of the film, the father frantically went to find Murman who fell into the water, and then the camera switched to the scene where both the father and Murman were washed up on the shore. The father woke up tiredly and saw the peaceful and pure face of his son beside him. Towards the bright sun…..
The Bible says that heaven accepts every pure child. Morman saw the color of heaven with his ears and heart, very beautiful and warm...

The Color of Paradise quotes

  • Mohammad: [crying] Our teacher says that God loves the blind more because they can't see. But I told him if it was so, He would not make us blind so that we can't see Him. He answered "God is not visible. He is everywhere. You can feel Him. You see Him through your fingertips." / Now I reach out everywhere for God till the day my hands touch Him and tell Him everything, even all the secrets in my heart.

  • Mohammad: [crying] Nobody loves me because I'm blind.
