In an Iranian children's movie, I almost burst into tears when I saw it in the middle of it, because the little protagonist is really kind enough to be a little silly. The name of the movie is simple, and it seems like asking questions. "Where is my friend's home", I was attracted by the name at that time, because of the expectation of the floating beauty, and the warmth of those Iranian children's movies in my heart. As a result, the film is about a trivial matter that becomes full of twists and turns due to a series of coincidences and the strange thinking of Iranians. The little boy's eyes are absolutely pure, making you unconditionally believe that his kindness is a mess. Writing this, I found that the upcoming text is misleading to those who might read this paragraph. In fact, I like this movie, just because my worldly mood can no longer be purely persistent like a little protagonist, so I can't help showing it. This gesture, to cover the shame.
Iranian children's films have almost become a category in the world film circle and film history, with unique symbols and connotations, creating an independent world. You will always find fixed elements in it, poor families, separate schools for men and women, desolate land, a mother who does housework like a machine, a father who looks a little fierce, and seems to be hitting at any time. Of course, the most important thing is to have a bright big eyes, shabby clothes, and beautiful mind.
The world seems to no longer believe in simple kindness, or has forgotten. If there is a simple and kind person, or even such a thing, people's usual reaction will be to laugh it off, or even feel sad about it, as if it is hypocritical like a child picking up a penny today and giving it to the police uncle . I also feel hypocritical.
This film is also "hypocritical" and tirelessly tells stories about innocence, about kindness, and about the light of fireflies in the dark. There are no amazing stunts and shooting techniques, the narrative is flat, as bland as a glass of boiled water, and the repeated use of long takes is inevitably drowsy, but after the film is over, people suddenly find that too much sadness has accumulated , and this sadness has a sweet taste.
The Iranian children's film proves that the story of "one tendon" also has a shocking power, because one side of this "one tendon" is the lingering helplessness and confusion, and the other side is the small world in the child's heart full of sunshine.
Modern people complain about indifference, boredom and impetuousness. They think they are smart but can't find a reason to persist. They should close their eyes and look for the sunshine that has been forgotten for a long, long time.
