I still remember watching this movie in a dark classroom in college: The Children of Heaven. At that time the teacher was very young and was a graduate student in human science. The red face always said, "It's interesting, this thing is very interesting, this person is very interesting. Yes, this movie is very interesting. At the beginning, I didn't understand what he meant when he said this movie was very interesting. Ha ha. So I followed in the classroom. The introduction said that this is an Iranian film. Then he said that this is all real and done by civilian actors. The film enters a slum area in Iran, and the child is called Ali. Has a traditional Arab face. The story quickly entered the role. We all watched slowly, no one turned and left. It's a miracle that the critical young man didn't leave. The young red-faced teacher was watching, smiling, and then looking at it seriously. Ali's life is similar to many poor lives. He and his sister wear a pair of shoes to school. In order not to be late, he ran hard. As a result, the kamikaze legs were made in this way-they run like wind. At the same time, the conversation between him and his sister made us all silent. As if back to childhood, to go among them. Run with him. All the misfortunes of life are played out quietly. And we are actually a little fascinated. At the end of the story, seeing Ali rushing to the end as hard as he could, there was applause in the classroom, unanimous applause. Because of this, I remembered this movie. Said to Caitou, this is worth our applause and tears. And I think we adults should stand up for it and take off our hats to pay tribute. Therefore, this is not only a children's movie, but also belongs to us self-righteous adults. (Especially those young adults who think they know how to love) The most impressive shots are those of Ali running constantly. Just like the running of Forrest Gump in Forrest Gump, both are full of metaphors of life and life. The former gives love to running, the love of a child, sincere and flawless, like a crystal. The running of the latter is endowed with the inquiry and search for life, and at the same time, it also means the search for love. Juvenile love is crystal clear without any impurities. I think this is one of the themes of this movie. Of course, living with dignity can still have such a quiet and happy life. The film gives adults many invisible perspectives to watch the world. No matter where it is, I run with a kind of love and happiness. To live with dignity is happiness.
