Iranian dramas, or documentaries. It's hard to imagine that this country could make such a movie. Let me tell the story first. I really don't know how to describe this plot. Children and war.
"At the junction of Iran and Turkey, the US military is about to attack, and the children make a living by selling mines. The broken-arm brother and the melancholy sister are homeless with a blind child, and the local child Wang Weixing falls in love with his sister, I want to help them." This is just a brief introduction to the movie, but it confirms something invisibly.
I want to say that Bahman Gobadi is a genius. The children of a group of non-professional actors, mature yet innocent, in the real era, show the kindest emotions. The fire of war is ruthless, but human beings are inherently kind, which is the basis of survival and the hope of life. Regardless of how many achievements this film has won, although it has indeed won a number of awards, the shock it brings is the most direct and most real.
Among all the characters, the most eye-catching is a 15-year-old child named Satellite Sauron. He led a group of orphans living in a refugee camp on the border between Turkey and Iraq, and asked them to engage in landmine demolition work on the edge of life and death. The purpose is just to feed to fill the stomach. They dug up the mines buried on the border and sold them to the active arms market in the town, and even uglier, the satellite knew that these people could sell to the United Nations army, and then get paid a thousand times what he got. Satellite is looking forward to the arrival of the US military. Indeed, he also wants to set foot on the achievements that the United States brings to him by using its energy and business acumen. After he bought a large satellite dish, the elders of the tribe also respected him as a Technology representative, ask him to help them install too. Naturally he also pretended to have a few poor English words to show off what he heard Bush announce the attack on the news broadcast. "He said it's going to rain," the satellite said.
If the satellite is a force that describes American optimism as a powerful and irresistible force, Hengoff, who has just arrived at the refugee camp, is about his age and insists on Eastern mystique and fatalism. He lost his hands (and fortunately his teeth) to mine demolition. He said he could predict the future and proved that he could rescue the children in the truck. Traveling with him was the unforgettable beauty of his sister, Agrin, and Riga, their brother, who was supposedly just learning to walk, but blind, either on the backs of other older children or with them. A rope is tied around the ankle. Hengoff also had an amusing fight at first for what appeared to be a leadership battle with the satellites, and you could see a boy without hands slam his overconfident opponent with his professional headbutt. Later, because the satellite fell in love with Agrin, he often used his bicycle decorated with American style to take her around and tell the customs of this place.
Gradually, we learn that Riga was actually born to Yaglin, who was raped by Iraqi soldiers, a shame that gradually made her despair and isolate the child or herself. Finally the U.S. military arrived. The eagerly anticipated satellite and the perceptive Hengoff announced the flyers that had been dropped from the helicopter that read, "Injustice, misfortune, and suffering will end, and we will take yours." Pain”, it is another moving display of American optimistic self-character, but at this moment the satellite has learned that the pain of war is not something that the US military can take away.
"The Turtle Can Fly" is a war movie from the perspective of a teenager, a drama, and I prefer to call it a cloth documentary, recording the most real war. Will the war really end in "We'll take your pain away"?
"Turtles Can Fly", as long as they are people, they should come to this class of blood and tears.
