"The Breadwinner"

An animation with a relatively heavy personal perception,

In war-torn Afghanistan, where women have no rights,

After his father was inexplicably arrested,

The heroine cuts off her long hair and puts on men's clothes to shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting her family.

In this special environment, raising a family is not just as simple as having enough food and clothing.

The result of taking care of the family well seems to be more important than the process of life,

Very realistic, cruel and stubborn,

A family reunited to live is hope.

    The lame accent finally exposed the true face of "The Breadwinner". It's either a realistic issue or a realist movie. We just can't see the reality in this imaginative animation work. In the real context, what the Afghan people really need is not fairy tales and fables but food and safety.

    I don't even know why I'm watching this, and I'm in tears while thinking about the reality that's happening right now.

The Breadwinner quotes

  • Fattema's Cousin: Son, daughter, which is it? Gather your things, we are leaving now!

    Fattema: I am not leaving without Parvana! We have to wait!

    Fattema's Cousin: Count yourself lucky I am taking you, old woman. The girl and the baby are of more worth.

  • Sulayman: My name is Sulayman! My mother is a writer. My father is a teacher. And my sisters always fight each other. One day, I found a toy on the street. I picked it up. It exploded. I don't remember what happened after that because it was the end.
