The Iranian movie "Little Shoes" is warm and touching.
The story is simple, yet its many details are truly memorable.
At the beginning of the film, I saw a pair of little girl's shoes being patiently repaired by a pair of old hands. Thinking of one of its titles, these little shoes must be the clue of the film. Yes, it was confirmed after a while that it was these little shoes, specifically the loss of the little shoes, that triggered the whole plot.
Xiao Ali helped his sister get the repaired shoes and went to Abba's store to buy vegetables. If you didn't know Xiao Ali's family background before, then when Ali bought potatoes, you would think that the owner of the vegetable store would not allow him to choose. The big potatoes on the stall, "Don't touch those, pick them up on the ground." And the next quarrel between the mother and the landlord makes you more sure that he lived in a poor childhood.
Little Ali accidentally lost his sister's shoes. The expectation and satisfaction of her sister when she asked about the shoes at home has warmed people's hearts. Those are the eyes of happy children. But when the news that the shoes were missing, that expectation turned into crying and worry: How will you go to school tomorrow?
Xiao Ali felt even more guilty, and ran to Aba's store to look for shoes, and was scolded by Aba again.
The following night, when the two little guys were doing their homework, they carefully muttered in their notebooks "the countermeasures about shoes VS going to school". This passage is meticulous and real, and has some kind of shocking effect, which is most of the childhood thoughts that we cannot perceive.
"Come on! . . . Why are you late?" "I'm already running." In the days that followed, my sister ran to school, and my brother ran to school. Just because they have to wear the same pair of shoes to school from now on. It's not a good decision, it's just that there is no other choice, so it's still unavoidable to encounter all kinds of trouble. My brother was criticized by the director for being late, and he was almost expelled from the school. You will never forget his big eyes and the tears that rolled down at that time. The younger sister was wearing it without hanging her feet and fell into the ditch and was washed all the way, and then hugged a small tree and cried helplessly.
My sister couldn't help but put all her remaining eyes on the shoes of many classmates, and even found the pair that once belonged to her, but she was seeing that the girl had a blind father who was so similar to her own life. For a moment, the two brothers and sisters bowed their heads sadly, naturally no longer mentioning the matter.
I thought my father would make a lot of money soon after becoming a gardener, and my sister would be able to have her own shoes. But this little hope was dashed by the accidental injury of my father.
So, after learning that the third runner-up of the long-distance running competition in the city could get a pair of sneakers, Xiao Ali begged the physical education teacher to let him participate. , "Think about my sister, think about the third runner-up for my promise to my sister, 10,000 meters shouldn't be too long, so fatigue was left behind, and I even ran to the front at that moment, oh, I want the third runner-up... ...even had to wait for the two players to pass me...so I looked back...it's great...now I'm in third place...must hold on...but...the boy who thought it was cunning in the back actually slapped it hard. I'm dragged down... Can't give up... At this time, the breath is not even Ali's, it's just myself and the breath becomes so real, but every moviegoer is breathing, and everyone is running fast , I don't know my position anymore, I only know that I didn't stop." The moment he crossed the line, he fell again, and the teacher helped Xiao Ali, "Ali, you are awesome." "Am I the third runner-up?" At this moment, I was in tears. until the end of the movie.
Ali, who won the championship, couldn't help crying, but no one knew that it was because he didn't get the third place. Back home, without saying a word, but everyone understands that what is coming will be the loss of the younger sister. Ali takes off his shoes, you will see that the pair of sneakers has been tattered and out of shape, and the feet, the feet covered with blisters, the scene at the end is very touching, Ali put his feet in the pool, and let him swim around. Goldfish pecking at the feet, so quiet and beautiful.
Seeing, running childhood, but not crazy play childhood; but no one can say they are unhappy, unhappy. You see, they're washing their shoes with a sunny smile and blowing big soap bubbles one after another, the satisfaction they get from their parents praising the directors, the things they don't do to hide a secret they can't tell their parents. Small efforts, their humility and expectation when listening to their parents’ promises, their rich and free childhood envied by the lonely children of the rich, their innocent and kind but full of sympathy at a young age, and the poverty But there is always hope, so you can imagine the joy in my sister's eyes when my father comes home shortly after the film ends.
This running childhood, although there is not so much time to play, is so delicious, it is the taste of happiness infused with kindness and simplicity, and even you can always see those hopes that are full of sunshine in West Asia .
