Compared to the previous two, is it worth the high score?

There are many polarized scores, and whether it is worth a high score or not, to be fair, it depends on the individual.

First of all, the story is not the type that everyone is willing to ponder; secondly, because of the dual positioning of the picture and the soundtrack of the first two "Kai" and "The Sea", many people will naturally make a comparison. The melancholy and gloomy picture of Raising a Family will definitely be compared; there is also the essential difference between the story structure and the first two films. I think the first two films tell a fairy tale with color pictures, while this one uses cruel reality to tell a story. This kind of group, for many people, will have a mentality to some extent (it's none of my business anyway), and naturally this will be greatly discounted. However, many people who have been in contact with (may experience, witness, read, and even hear) will have a lot of reflection and resonance.

The above problems all exist, but the meaning of the story is undoubtedly very profound. After reading the fairy tale, what comes to mind is not the poor people in other countries, but the thinking of one's own environment.

When you or your child picks up a toy on the street one day and it explodes.

Why pick up toys on the street? Why do children pick up toys? Why did it explode? This is an experience Parvana tells about her own brother through a fairy tale. A very simple sentence, but the heaviest one.

A simple understanding of the problem of war shows how important and happy it is to survive. We are indeed living in a very peaceful era. We are grateful for the greatness of our motherland, and we must cherish our present life. The power of a movie should not only lie in the pictures, soundtracks, stories, plots, etc., which are exciting and fascinating. Understanding another world, another environment, and another group through movies may be the main message that the director or the work wants to express most.

In 1985, the cover of "National Geographic", "The Green Eyed Girl" (also known as "Afghan Girl") is the prototype of Parwana, and it is also the symbol of the world's suffering women and children.

(I borrowed Douyou's picture here, but I couldn't find a clearer picture for a while, Wang Haihan)

For people at war, women, children. How heavy is fetching water, buying apples, buying rice, changing naan, toys, culture, and even reunion, maybe for modern urbanites rich in material, it is just a toy and a movie. But the world is so grand, and for another person, some people, it is fatal, so what is more important than survival.

Different people have different experiences, different lives, different environments, different mentalities, and we cannot force everyone to like a story. But should we try to understand the survival attitude of fellow human beings?

Parvana's fairy tale, the giant elephant of tyranny, the shadow of death closely behind him, the mirror to see clearly, the easiest tool to capture survival, and a peaceful and strong heart. In the face of an unfair life, speak with reason, not volume. What can nourish your heart is always silent rain, not thunder.
