The Children Day
just has been celebrated. It was the festival for children all around the
world. Yesterday I watched a film named The Children Of Heaven. This is the
first film of Iran
which had been nominated for best foreign-language film at Oscars. The children
of heaven really moved me.
This is a story
about poor people. Ali and Zahra are children from a very poor family. One day,
Ali, the elder brother, lost his sister’s only one pair of shoes. When he was out of
shopping for his sick mother and repaired the shoes for the sister, he lost
them accidentally. Ali couldn’t find the shoes by all means, so he begged his
sister not to tell their parents. the two cute and poor children know that
their parents can’t afford a pair of new shoes.
Then during the
following days, the little sister wears Ali’s shoes to school. After she is off
school, she returns his brother’s shoes and then Ali goes to school. Therefore,
Ali has to run to school with a fast speed from being late. Then one day, he
notices that the third prize of a running race is a pair of new sport shoes. Ali
decides to participate in that race to win a pair of shoes for his sister……
This film makes me
understand that poverty is not horrible. Hope and happiness will come finally,
if we keep the positive attitude toward life. Ali’s childhood may be unfortunate.
Life gives poverty to him. However, life also gives him the courage to fight
against poverty.
