Film evaluation of small shoes

A pair of lost shoes leads to touching brotherhood. Children in Paradise has a subtle grasp of children's psychology, and their secrets, anxiety, friendship and affection are undoubtedly revealed in this small-budget film. Majidi's films focus on the unnoticed children's world and show the social life of Iranian middle and lower classes. Touching emotions are like a clear spring.

The two young actors in Children in Paradise are unprofessional actors, but their performances are extremely sincere. The film pays great attention to the description of details, such as the repeated rendering of details such as losing shoes and changing shoes, and has a good grasp of the rhythm, especially the long-distance race in the last paragraph. Although it is only a children's race, it is thrilling. Let all the audience who agree with the little brother and sister secretly pinch a sweat.

Director majid majidi is an actor. After Brothers and Stepfather, he released his children in heaven and attracted worldwide attention. There is no doubt about the achievement of this film. In 2000, he was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Award, including 1 1 international awards, and achieved excellent box office results. From the plot point of view, it is very simple, around the two children's desire for "a pair of shoes"; Technically, it is even less significant. In addition to my brother's slow mirror, rotating jitter and other shooting techniques to render tension, the plain photography style runs through. It is unforgettable because of the deep warmth, children's indomitable pursuit and the director's humanistic concern for the bottom of society, which makes the audience ignore the slightly rough image and get hit by the core part of the film. The picture of goldfish kissing children's feet at the end is full of praise and creativity. It is conceivable that if you put it in a gorgeous movie, the fate of annihilation is inevitable. It is the simple and restrained tone of Iranian movies that makes it look like a stroke of genius. With the humanistic care in the film, the director paid close attention to the whole process of an ordinary child realizing his dream in his own way with extremely warm eyes. The caring and warm atmosphere runs through the film, and the success of this atmosphere benefits from the following aspects: on the one hand, the director himself presents the lives of Ali and his sister Sarah to the audience from the perspective of children, and the camera seems to be just a pair of eyes in the dark, peeping at the lives of these two children, and everything is natural as water.

Ali and Sarah's language, thinking and behavior are naive, but they are the most natural and true. This nature makes their dreams present the purest color, and also makes their desires have scorching power. Let the audience unconsciously yearn for the shoes with Ali's sister, and let us ask ourselves: have we ever yearned for it like this? Have we ever been so persistent?

At the same time, the director did not show cheap sympathy for Ali, a child living in an embarrassing situation, but showed respect. What he pays attention to in the film shows the poverty or other things that can't be taken away from good adults and children, which is a shining human nature. In the film, poverty is not a symbol of abnormal suffering. The film is not to show this barren suffering, but to make people's brilliance shine more brightly in this simple and simple life.

There is always a stubborn light in Ali's clear big eyes. This stubbornness has kept Ali passionate about unremitting efforts and explained many of his characteristics. His concern for his sister, consideration for his parents, love for learning and respect for kindness are all from the heart and out of nature. This kind of nature is too natural. In the end, the director can leave the disappointment to Ali and the surprise to the audience. It is this ending that will impress Ali in our hearts and remind us of the director's deepest love for Ali. This film fully affirmed and praised its own culture. Iran is a country that has experienced a long war. However, they did not describe these sorrows and injuries painfully in the film. Islam's indomitable spirit of endurance and resistance to the hardships of life, as well as the optimism of the Iranian nation, make the film not indulge in sentimental and pessimistic arguments, but persistently look for beauty and hope in life.

When Sarah found the little girl at school wearing her lost shoes, she followed her to her home and told Ali. When Ali took Sarah to the little girl's house, he found that the little girl's father was blind. So they gave up the idea of getting their shoes back. Sarah ran back and asked Ali to change his shoes for school. The shoes accidentally fell into the ditch. She ran after the shoes, which got stuck out of her reach. She squatted by the ditch and cried. An old man came to help her put on her shoes. When the mosque echoed with the sound of chanting, Ali's father burst into tears and prayed for God's grace. We can deeply feel the kindness of the Iranian people and their sincere belief in Islamic culture. Ali lives in a poor and backward neighborhood, and buying a pair of shoes may bring a burden to his family. But the whole block is clean, and people are often clean. Look at this city. There are many tall buildings and trees. Little Ali went out to work with his father to make money. The luxury villas of the rich fully show that Iran is a rich country. The film strongly contrasts the differences between the rich and the poor, but the film looks at the world through the innocent eyes of brothers and sisters, making people feel that there is still hope and warmth that money can't buy in a poor life. Poverty is a misfortune, but those poor people have never lost kindness, tolerance, gratitude and mutual warmth because of poverty.

Behind Ali, we can clearly see the humanistic background that determines the development of this story: their devotion and satisfaction to Islamic beliefs, the kindness of Ali's parents and the generosity of teachers and people around them all make this story full of warmth. Even when Ali brothers and sisters were running in the process of changing shoes, the director chose many pictures and music full of local customs as the background. Ali didn't complain that there were not enough shoes and more money. He is just looking for a solution to the problem, running persistently and running towards his plain and real life. This self-confidence and singing skill in local culture gives the film the widest and heavy stage to express the humanistic theme. Numerous details in the film make this warm care deeply rooted in people's hearts.

These scattered images are like faint flames, shining with warm flames in the depths of memory. The night Ali accidentally lost his sister's shoes, the shoes in the TV advertisement made the brothers and sisters feel uncomfortable; On the first day, my sister wore her brother's big sneakers with clear tears in her eyes. Ali's classmates invited him to watch a football match, but he refused because his sister wanted to wear his sneakers. My sister took the exam in class. In order to go back and change shoes with my brother early, she quickly added the answers and handed in the papers early. Dad is responsible for helping the church prepare sugar, but when there is no sugar at home, he never eats it himself; Although mother was ill, she didn't forget to ask Ali to send soup to take care of her neighbor who was sick in bed next door. In the house at night, when mom and dad are worried about their livelihood, how distressing Ali's big eyes are; After losing his shoes, Ali said to his sister who complained about him and clamored to tell his mother, "I'm not afraid of my father hitting me." Even if you tell him that he has no money to buy shoes for you, he will have to borrow money. " I thought you would understand! "When my brother and sister were doing their homework on the carpet at home, the two children secretly communicated in their exercise books. Ali gave the golden pen to his sister because of his excellent grades as a small "bribe"; Two small figures change shoes in the alley in a hurry every time; Ali and his sister wash their shoes and play with soap bubbles. ...

Finally, the success of the film is inseparable from the excellent performances of the two little actors who play Ali and Sarah.

The two children in the film seem to have no traces of performance. My brother is a child who always has a melancholy expression. In addition to being naive and clever, his black eyes seem to have some small thoughts. My sister is a lovely and sensible little girl with beautiful big eyes. When she is happy, she will have a very pure and lovely smile.

Director majidi said: "Culture is more important than politics. I hope the film can dispel people's doubts and misunderstandings and change others' views on Iran. "I think" Children in Paradise "made the director realize this wish. Even if he is punished by the director and is not allowed to go to school, Ali will not tell the real reason for being late. Even if he won the championship, he would not be happy, but shed tears in front of the camera. Children are the most stubborn and independent. They have their own world, their own events, and their own reasons for crying and laughing. Sarah cried quietly, bit her lip, and two lines of tears flowed downwards; When Ali cries, her eyebrows will bend down, her big eyes are watery, and she has children's unique grievances and fears. This kind of crying is not sensational at all, but it is deeply infected. They were washing their shoes, blowing bubbles and laughing. When Ali gave the teacher's award-winning pen to her sister, Sarah's expression from anger to smile was really like an angel, so pure that there was no impurity.

Life is often painful, it will make our feet grind out a lot of blood bubbles. But when you put your feet into the pond, goldfish will swim over, wagging their beautiful golden tails at your feet and spitting transparent bubbles ... At the end of the movie, I saw my father put a pair of new shoes on his bike. Yes, today I totally believe this fairy tale from Iran, and believe that my goldfish and my beauty will swim to me.

In our life, how many times can such a touch live? How many times can we meet people like Ali and Sarah who shock us? This is the charm of movies!
