Heaven really has color

After watching this film, I wondered if I understood what the color of heaven is. Maybe I didn't fully understand it, but I seemed to see its depth in the haze. In that child's words, God was right where I stretched out my hand, the salvation of my soul.
At the beginning, this film gave me the feeling that it was the same as "Voice of Heaven". But in the end it's different. There is nothing about color in the film. If there must be something, it's the part where the child and grandma are coloring the yarn. Red, yellow, and blue change in the boiling water of the petals. more thick silk. It doesn't matter if you are blind, the eyes only see the appearance of the world, and the heart is the brightest beacon. Just like what grandma said at the end: "I'm not worried about Moman, but you." Because my father's selfish desires have masked the last family relationship in human nature. You see, in the end, the father's marriage was blown up. He wanted to follow his heart to pick up the child and go home, but stopped the car outside the door and wanted to escape. After picking up Moman, he walked in the forest with dark clouds. Although he was timid, he finally continued to move forward. When I was walking on the bridge, my father gave me the feeling that he knew that there would be an accident on the bridge, but he felt like he was sending a child on the road. Struggling to wash away in the water, he didn't move. He didn't jump into the water until the child's hand stopped waving and the cries stopped coming. This is the performance of his blindness. Before watching the film, I saw a friend write the director's praise for the ending. Really, I also think the director's handling is very human, but not necessarily common sense. A blind child in this kind of situation finally got his hands on it, and let those drowning children with open eyes really die, because they were drowning because they were looking at their eyes, not by being drowned. Drowning but scared to death. But later, I thought about it, if the child really died, who would come to redeem the father's sins. Shouldn't the criminals be given a chance to make amends? Doesn't this ending feel better? No one knows if the father will abandon Morman again, but more people believe that Morman and his father will live better than before, because they both see the color of heaven, which is the color of love. What Moman sees is the color of believing in love. In the past, he didn't believe in God because God made him blind, and he didn't believe in his father because he didn't want to come and pick him up. He didn't believe in grandma because she didn't stop his father from sending him home. walk yourself. And the father also saw the color of heaven and believed that he would cherish the only chance God gave him.
I have seen two works in this country, and they all happen to be the works of this director. Both works are related to children. Are Iranian children especially favored by God? Their hearts are so clear and so beautiful. A director can make two such good works, not only because of the director's ability, but more because of the character of the country and nation. People who have experienced war and are born and die every day will have different attitudes towards God, death, and feelings, and stand on a higher position to express it. This is the ability that life gives them, and I am also grateful that I live in this country and see the life in that country, just as the colors of heaven vary in shades of shades.

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.
