child's feathers

Before the movie, I didn't read its synopsis. I thought it was a heart-piercing story about a child without a home who had a miserable childhood. He had a friend who wanted to help him, but was powerless. In this world, the two are hesitant and sad, this story will make me cry in front of the computer for a while. Even in the whole process of watching, I was still thinking about it like this. It was not until I finished reading that I realized that it took me more than an hour to watch a little bit of trivial things among a lot of trivial things

. In the thrilling big movie I forgot, I always think of this piece of chicken feathers, it seems that it is no longer a movie I have seen, but a part of me, a little episode of my childhood story, I am amazed at How can a movie be so completely integrated into the life of a foreign audience. It was me who accidentally took a classmate's workbook home, fearing that he would be expelled from the teacher the next day, carrying an adult on his back, running back and forth over the zigzag hillside and slate steps to find him, and finally it was dark. I couldn't find it, so I thought of a clever way to help him write it, and the next day I was lucky enough to get away with it.

It's so simple, I can't even write an essay on such a bland subject. But the director chose this piece of chicken feathers. The scene and characters seem to be found by him in the countryside. Then, the actors who were filmed, like the truman in "The Truman World", didn't know anything, they were just in their daily life. Ahmed told his mother over and over that he took Mohammad's workbook, and if he didn't return it immediately, he would be expelled from the teacher, but his mother seemed to have never heard it, and after hearing it, she repeated the phrase "Quickly" Write your homework, and you can go out to play after finishing your homework.” There are many similar situations. From the perspective of a child, how can you tell an adult a simple thing, they can’t understand it, and they tell you to buy it Bread, holding a cigarette bag, pulling a piece of paper... but they just can't hear what you say is urgent, and carrying a basin for them is more important than this thing that makes you restless. In fact, there seem to be many movies that express this kind of estrangement, and the stories may be quite complicated, but I have never seen this most direct method, nagging or answering irrelevant questions or ignoring them, making the audience want to rush In the past, speak loudly for the children to the adults around them.

It doesn't matter if this movie is good or bad, it's just an experience, a little childhood experience of everyone who has seen it and who hasn't.

The only hope is that we will still be adults who can hear children's voices in the future.

    Great Abbas! Always be able to use a light story, a little bit of justice to the complexity of the adult world. If Majid Majidi's "Little Shoes" makes people see the golden innocence, then this film makes people see innocence, and at the same time digs into the "social system and human ignorance crushing personality and beauty". It was the tip of a knife that licked blood - if you didn't say it well, you would be sealed, and even become an enemy of the world, but Abbas did it easily. On the bright line, children must find a friend's home, and on the dark line, the elderly must live in the countryside, keep their own craftsmanship of making old wooden doors, and use "good-looking and different wooden doors (personality)" and "solid and homogeneous iron doors (commonness)" "As a collision, it is a metaphor for the system's oppression of people, whether it is family education, school education, or social education, the oppression exists, and it seamlessly transforms people, and people also obediently hold hands, obliterate their individuality, and blindly submit to the system. From the victims of the system to the supporters of the system. Naturally, the flower that the old man picked for the child, which symbolized simplicity and individuality, was also compressed and air-dried to become a specimen. So, where is my friend's pure and beautiful home for mankind?

    It was a simple yet mission-heavy day. The pressure of homework, the busyness of parents, the numbness of adults, the majesty of teachers, the helpless eyes of friends, the barking of dogs in the shadows… The connection is like an ordinary day, but it lightly conceals the not simple problem. We followed the boy's twists and turns nervously, until we saw the little flower, we could not perceive the slight pain and the slight joy. #SIFF#tianshan
