little shoe paradise

A pair of broken and unsightly pink shoes, in a pair of rough hands, stitched together stitch by stitch. This series of actions at the beginning is neat and tidy, but it gives people an oppressive tediousness. When the shoemaker handed the sewn shoes to the little boy named Ali, I knew the whole story: he repaired the worn little shoes for his sister that had been repaired many times. The reasons were obvious: poor family, sickness The mother, only the father's meager salary supports this seemingly run-down family. When the director explained all these plots, I felt a little worried. I have seen too many such plots and such similar stories, and it is not that I lack sympathy. It's just that such an ordinary story, a little off the rails, will fall into a cliché and fall into a whirlpool of appearances that simply earn people's tears, until it makes people numb. The director has ingeniously designed many ingenious close-up shots, and the lens language he uses is as meticulous and novel as a child is observing the outside world, making that unique perspective real and lovely.
What impresses me is the scene of my sister taking the exam. The get out of class has already ended. She secretly looked at the watch on the teacher's wrist while answering the question. At this time, the camera did not show the whole body of the teacher, but only a The person moved back on his wrist a little uneasy and anxious, which made me feel the same anxious mood of my sister in an instant: my brother is waiting for her to go back to deliver the shoes, is there still time?
It was not until I watched the film that I understood the meaning of heaven. Although I was born in poverty, my brothers and sisters would still laugh cheerfully and cheerfully from time to time. This is the most precious thing that cannot be taken away from the humble material life. They didn't forget to blow up colorful soap bubbles when they were brushing their shoes. In their rare leisure time, the elder brother played with his employer's children, swaying leisurely on the swing, and the garden was very red under the watering of his father. Bright flowers make the scorching sun soft and warm. The children who really live in heaven are just like that. People who can face life so calmly and optimistically must have heaven!

    In the movie I have seen, the best performance is running. Run silently.
