little lonely star

I prefer the translated name "Little Lone Star" to "Sorrowful God's Little Daughter". Ponette tries hard to become God's daughter, just to say one more word to her mother. A four-year-old child who doesn't know how to live, let alone die? Ponette, who lost her mother, is like a lonely little star, hanging faintly in the sky, pursuing the answer she wants with her pure and sad eyes.
In addition, it is said that this little girl became the youngest actress in the history of the film because of this film. But there is one point, if a four-year-old child has not experienced it personally, it is impossible to understand the story to this extent, and it is seriously suspected that the director had inappropriate emotional induction on the child for the sake of effect during the shooting.
In the end, the appearance of my mother really frightened me, and it felt like a documentary film suddenly turned into a sci-fi style, but thinking about it carefully, the answer that a child can accept can only be in this form. "Learn to care." "She wants me to learn to be happy." That's what this film has to say to any child in grief like Ponette. The person who wrote the script is the real God.

    The children's sensitive and uninhibited performances endow the film with the impromptu power of verite. Ponette is like a lonely asteroid, unable to resist the attraction of others. She always subconsciously reaches out and closes her face, but in order to find her mother, she would rather close herself, which is heartbreaking. struggle. From the perspective of current affairs of home-country isomorphism and political-religious conflict, it is a bit of a Lord of the Flies-style insinuation of reality, but those children are more numerous than these French girls, and the director is really crazy and confident.

    Actually didn't read it. About three-fifths of the way through. I dare not look any further. I'm afraid I can't stop crying. In fact, there are still some doubts about the dialogue of the children in the film. Are foreign children really more mature than our country? When you're only four or five years old, you're talking about singleness and faith? Was it imposed by the director. It is said in the voice of a child imitating the thinking of an adult.
