To ask what color heaven is, I don't quite know. But maybe where there is a teacher, you can see it. The film tells the story of little Muhammad who can only rely on his voice and hands to perceive the colorful world due to his vision impairment. In the countryside, he finally found the joy of childhood, stroking the rural scenery with his hands, listening to the singing of birds with his ears, and greedily breathing the smell of soil with his nose. , the world is an incomparably beautiful paradise.
The feeling that the film brings to me is completely different from the Iran I imagined. I never knew it was such a beautiful country. Everything in the film is so pure. It's so beautiful, the color of heaven is the color of everything in the film. The painstaking attention to audio-visual language, especially the repeated performance of the blind child's hand and his sensitive intuition for the sound of nature, all poured into the director's humanitarian feelings. The director is so great that heaven is not so colorful as it is transparent. Anyone who has seen this movie is a baptism of soul. In the film, the father is both tired and pitiful for his son, and the resulting crisis in marriage and mother-son relationship is a comprehensive presentation of family and social problems in Iran. A simple, delicate, and profound film. Taking children as the main body of performance further deepens the audience's understanding of Iranian film art, to a large extent eliminates the prejudiced imagination about Iran caused by ignorance and speculation, and is also very commendable in shooting techniques. .
Iranian movies are always so special and need to be felt with the heart. The pictures are exquisite and the characters are carefully created. This film is much crueler than the little shoes. It is really not easy to make such a children's theme. There are different laughter and sadness between children and adults, as well as questions about death and survival, and the ultimate paradise. metaphor. The simple and plain narrative shows great emotional tension, which is shocking.
