Little Shoes, Strong Heart


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.
