1. Although the family is poor, my father doesn't like the public candy even though he drinks a bowl of tea.

2. The older brother and younger sister help with the housework, and the mother will praise them in front of the father. And there is only one time in the whole drama that my father got angry and scolded my brother, because I felt bad that my mother was sick and had to wash the blankets to work, and my brother didn't help because he went out to find shoes.

3. My father said to my mother, "The doctor said that you can't be tired when you are sick. You can leave the work to me at home."

4. The first time I wore my brother's shoes to school, my sister felt embarrassed and wanted to hide. The teacher said that she was going to wear sneakers in gym class. My sister smiled happily and turned her toes out. (Children's world is so simple)

5. My brother and sister knew that the little girl was wearing her own shoes and didn't want to come over. (Think that little girl has a harder life.)

6. My sister is looking at other people's shoes on the playground. And when the little girl who picked up her sister's shoes changed her new shoes, her sister looked envious and never forgot her own little shoes.

7. The purpose of the competition for the elder brother is to get the third place and get the prize shoes for the younger sister. The result was first place. It hurts my brother to cry in front of the camera.

8. When running in front of the PE teacher and wanting to participate in the competition (I cried a lot, even worse than the last part of the competition)

9. The little girl picked up a beautiful pencil and gave it back to her sister.

10 and many more. The whole film is full of sadness in warmth, and beauty in hardship.

    Very sad. When I was a child, my family was too poor to wear shoes. All the clothes were old, donated by Hong Kong people (I really appreciate that generation of Hong Kong people), and brought back by relatives and friends when they returned to the mainland. When I was in the first grade of primary school, my uncle came back with new shoes and a new schoolbag, as well as an iron double-layered stationery box worth 20 yuan. I will never forget the joy at that time. shoe. Because I was so poor, I was very moved by the movie.

    In a very tender way, it exposes the social problem of the large gap between the rich and the poor in Iran. The main line of the story is extremely simple, but the sequence of shots is meticulous and smooth, and the simple clues are constantly changing, developing new narrative dynamics. The narration and performance are both calm and natural, and there is no fierce condemnation. On the contrary, all the characters in the film except the landlord are kind and simple, and they are willing to lend a helping hand to those who are in need, which proves that the large gap between the rich and the poor is a social system problem, not human nature. question of right and wrong. The handling at the end is perfect, first inserting the scene where the father has already bought shoes for the brother and sister, and then turning to the scene where Ali is ashamed to face his sister after winning the championship, the audience becomes omniscient, the bitter tone of the film is reconciled, and there may be no redemption , but innocence in suffering is what the film is about.
