The color of heaven is the color of your life

The color of heaven? What color is it? The three-minute dark scene at the beginning of the film is something that every director dares not try easily, but Majid Majidi uses the darkness in these three scenes to show the daily life of a blind boy. Although the world is black, he tried his best to use his other senses to understand the world, to know wind, light, and even God. Although the film tells the story of a blind boy, the color of the film is very bright, even more vivid than what ordinary people see in daily life. Perhaps the director wants to make him feel the beauty of the world in this way. In the film, we do not see the so-called color of heaven, but we can feel the beautiful scenery from heaven.

The Color of Paradise quotes

  • Mohammad: [crying] Our teacher says that God loves the blind more because they can't see. But I told him if it was so, He would not make us blind so that we can't see Him. He answered "God is not visible. He is everywhere. You can feel Him. You see Him through your fingertips." / Now I reach out everywhere for God till the day my hands touch Him and tell Him everything, even all the secrets in my heart.

  • Mohammad: [crying] Nobody loves me because I'm blind.
