Finally found time to watch this highly rated movie, "The Breadwinner".
This is an animated film set in 2001 Taliban-ruled Afghanistan based on the best-selling novel Parvana's Waiting by Canadian author Deborah Alice.
After reading it, I feel that we are really too happy, without war, we will lose our lives at any time; we can study freely and enjoy education equally; we can love and show beauty; and there are various systems to ensure our lives.
At the beginning of the film, the girl Parwana and her father set up a stall at the market and were provoked, because women could not reveal their faces, could not go out, and could only rely on men to exist, so in order to protect Parwana, her father and the Taliban ruled. skirmish.
On the way home, Parwana and her father were followed, and her father was later captured by the Taliban. For the family's livelihood and to save her father, Parwana cut her hair short and went out as a boy.
When I went out to work, I met a friend who pretended to be the same, and the two accompany and encourage each other. Parwana has never forgotten to rescue her father and has been working hard.
The overall tone of the whole movie has been gray, just like the background of the story, which is relatively depressing.
Under the rule of the Taliban, women have no rights at all. They have to be accompanied by men when they go out, and they are completely covered up, not to mention the opportunities for education and learning.
Parwana's father is a teacher. Compared with other children, such as friends who also pretend to be boys, Parwana is much happier, with the love of her father and family, and the education of her father and mother.
Others have no chance to learn. Parwana pretends to be a boy and reads and writes letters on behalf of others at the market, explaining that illiteracy is common and that literacy is rare. Because of this, I met a person who played a big role in the rescue of my father.
Without culture and education, it closes the way for people to communicate, and also imprisons ideology and culture. This is a retrogression and the most cruel rule.
In addition to the cruelty of war and the deprivation of women's rights, there is also the brutal rule of the Taliban, beatings, scolding, interrogation, and enslaving ordinary people are very common, and there is no human rights at all. Parwana's father was taken to prison at will. It would be difficult for Parwana's father to meet his family without the kind person whom Parwana met on behalf of Nianxin.
Although it is a very depressing story, there is also a shining part of human nature, family, friendship and love. Parwana's affection with her family, her friends who are also pretending to be friends, and the memory of good-hearted people for her wives... These beautiful parts of human beings will not be lost even in wars and cruel rule.
Just as Parwana puts herself into the stories she tells, troubles will be resolved, demons and monsters will bow their heads, and in the end, beauty will triumph over darkness.
