film "Little Shoes", also known as "Children in Paradise", is the first film nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film (nominated) in the history of Iranian cinema. Since its launch, it has produced a great response worldwide. This film is a masterpiece that is co-arranged by Iranian director Majid Majidi and several other well-known directors, reflecting the extremely difficult life of the poor in the context of the disparity between the rich and the poor in Iran. In
's work, the little protagonist Ali puts the repaired sister's shoes next to the vegetable shop when he is shopping for vegetables, but he is picked up by his unknowing uncle who collects garbage. Since then, Ali concealed his parents and wore a pair of torn shoes with his sister. Later, a long-distance running competition was held in the city. The third prize was a pair of sneakers. After learning the news, the protagonist excitedly told his sister and vowed to win those sneakers for her sister. In the sprint of the game, the protagonist tripped maliciously by other competitors, but remembered his sister’s sad look when she had no shoes on, so he got up quickly and tried his best to rush forward, just to get the prize-a pair of sneakers . In the end, the protagonist won the first prize. The prize was a set of sportswear. After winning the prize, he was extremely sad and tears burst into his eyes. He dragged his tired body back home. The soles of his shoes had long been worn out and his feet were full of big sizes. The small blisters and bloody scars were filled with despair in the eyes of him and his sister. The gratifying thing is that at the end of the story, two pairs of shoes are tied to his father's bicycle. One pair belongs to his younger sister and one pair belongs to Ali. The story ends successfully.
After watching this movie, I think it has the following two highlights:
one is that the characters are fully portrayed. In the work, the protagonist Ali is a child from a poor district in Iran. He is only 9 years old and blows soap bubbles with his sister while washing his shoes. When his father is doing garden work, he plays with his employer’s little boy very happily. She reflects his innocence and reluctance as a child. He is a child, but he is even more of an adult. He is a young omnipotent god. He has outstanding qualities such as responsibility, bravery, and responsibility. He is lonely and helpless like a bunch of fireworks rushing to the sky. And vigorous.
(1) He is filial and thoughtful. After he lost his sister’s shoes, the first thing he thought of was not being punished, but before the end of the month, his father had no salary, so he could not trouble his parents; he returned home to buy food, Mopping the floor and doing nothing; when a friend asked him to play golf, he refused decisively because he had no shoes and his mother was sick in bed.
(2) He knows how to fight and dare to challenge, such as praying for the teacher to give him a chance to compete, making unremitting efforts for the sneakers in the long-distance running sprint; knocking on the door in the rich area to give his father a chance to do garden work.
(3) He is kind and full of love. When his sister told him that he found a little girl wearing her shoes at school, he was full of hope, until he found that the little girl’s family was very poor and the little girl’s father was blind, so they immediately dispelled the idea of returning the shoes; he especially liked the teacher The mechanical pencil that was rewarded to him, but in order to please his sister, he reluctantly gave it to her sister.
The second is that the work is short and profound. The whole film is 1 hour, 27 minutes and 56 seconds long, and its plot development is like a slapped horse advancing rapidly, and it stops abruptly at the completion part. Compared with other Iranian films that last more than two hours, such as "A Farewell" and "Salesman", "Little Shoes" is short and sturdy, but it has all the internal organs and profound connotation. The whole film is set in the current Iran. The director’s simple content brings a thrilling shock to people. It reflects that in today’s rapid economic development, most people’s living standards and quality of life continue to improve. Everyone is actively thinking about how to Broaden their horizons and enrich their spiritual food. However, many people in the world can't eat enough to eat three meals a day. This reflects the disparity between the rich and the poor in the context of rapid social development. The author of
has a compassionate feeling. He gives the little protagonist the honor of standing on the podium, as well as the opportunity to get cheers, applause and flowers, and gives the pillar-past father the hope of improving his life. The film tells us that everyone’s happy childhood is similar, but painful childhoods are very different. In the film, the author stands from the perspective of the poor, experiencing the ups and downs of everyone in the process of growing up, and reflects the author's heartfelt compassion for the poor. The poor people portrayed by the author are simple and sincere, and at the same time they show their complex lives of suffering, happiness, pain and happiness. The author is full of hope for the poor people’s good life, and entrusts sincere blessings to the poor and longs for themBe able to embark on the road to prosperity and share the fruits of social development. The name of
's work "Little Shoes" may seem inconspicuous, but it has profound meaning. According to the calculation of 1 Iranian rial = 0.0002 yuan, a pair of children's shoes on the stall is about 7.5-12.5 Iranian rials, which is about 15-25 yuan. A pair of small shoes that sounds not worth mentioning, in the main character But his heart was like a big mountain, and he couldn't breathe. After losing his shoes, he always had tears in his eyes and seldom showed joy on his face. He was sad because of the shoes, and wept because of the shoes. The plot starts with small shoes and ends with small shoes, which reflects the mastery of the main theme of the film and the beginning and end of production. This pair of shoes has the magic power to move the whole body. This title further reveals the various bitterness of the poor people behind the shoes.
