"Children of Heaven" (also known as little shoes), children are enough to make me awed, let alone from heaven (how many children do not belong to heaven?)
An Iranian movie, this is a simple dream of two children The pure film, however, is extremely perfect and moving.
When little Harry retrieved the little shoes he repaired for his sister, he accidentally lost the only shoes his sister had. In order to save his parents from punishment, he begged his sister to make an agreement with him: every day My sister wears his shoes to school, and then switches them to school after school. So the only pair of shoes that the brother and sister are exchanged on the feet of the two people every day, and the desire to find the lost shoes or have another pair of shoes is accumulating day by day in the two tender hearts, because they want to escape from their parents and Being late may bring the punishment, but also bear the inconvenience caused by changing shoes, and avoid the torture caused by the envy of other people's shoes. Harry tried to work in the city with his father to earn money, but his father was injured in an accident and spent the money he had promised to buy shoes for his sister for medical treatment. Later, when Harry saw the notice of the national long-distance running competition, he finally begged his teacher to approve him to participate in the competition, because there was a pair of shoes among the prizes for the third place. During the game, Harry was running, his sister was running back after school to change shoes with him and he was running to school after changing shoes, he was going to win, he was going to get those shoes, he was running, in Running in extreme fatigue, he then fell, and in order to win, he got up and ran to the finish line desperately and hit the line first in the chaos. When people congratulated the little champion, Harry raised a pair of tears full of disappointment. Back home, his sister walked away sadly, Harry took off his shoe - it was completely worn out, and Harry soaked his blistered feet in the pool in the courtyard, and a school of fish swam towards him. At this time, his father was on his way home, on his bicycle, there were new shoes bought for Harry and his sister...
The children inside all have big clear eyes, whether it is the little girl who took Harry's sister's shoes, or Harry, those glasses are like buds born under the morning dew. Harry and his sister's language is childish, their thinking is childish, their behavior is childish. Also childish, but most natural and true, and this nature gives their dreams the purest color, and their desires with scorching power, when we unknowingly crave with Harry. With that pair of shoes, a thought pops into your chest: Haven't we all lost different "shoes" in different situations? Have we ever so desired? Have we been so tireless?
In Harry's big clear eyes, there is always a stubborn light, this stubbornness keeps Harry's passion for his goals unremittingly, and also interprets many of his qualities, his love for his sister, and his considerateness to his parents. , the love of learning, the respect for kindness, and the intelligence and wit that one should have, all come from the heart and nature.
Looking at Harry's blistered feet at the end, I hope that group of little goldfish can help him heal instead of us.
