Children of heaven
...

Iran - 1997
Directed by Majid Majidi

Winner of the Montreal World Film Festival Grand Prix of the Americas Award and the Air Canada People's Award, CHILDREN OF HEAVEN is a sensitive, memorable film

There are a lot of movies in the world. So, first of all I want to suggest you to watch this movie, even it`s not so colorful and has not so many effects) Actually this looks like a real movie, something like documantary movie. It`s like a discribing the live of poor people at the east part of the continent. Maybe director of this movie did not record this film because of money, maybe he just wanted to open people`s souls. He wants us to feel everything, that children and all people are feeling in such a poor country. But anyway, eventhough the director did not mind about "grammy", he take it in 1998! Do you know why? Maybe the director of this wonderfull movie was born at this country and wants to show us this citizen`s poor life also...Who knows?)

In short i wanna discribe you this movie:

There was one poor family. I thnk it was in Irak. So, as this was poor family, there were 2 children Ali and her sister.Once upon a time Ali takes his little sister Zahra's shoes to the shoemaker to repaire, but lost it somewhere after this. The siblings decided to keep that as a secret from their parents, knowing that there is no money to buy a new shoes. After that ali decide to take a part in running competition to get new shoes for her lovely sister. Than he won the first place, but he was dissapointed and sad because her sister does not need the first place present, whisc was sport set... She just needs shoes... But Ali didn`t know that at this time his father already went ti buy o her sister a new shoes)))

So, this is such a so hearttouching story...I think that when women will see that movie they can cry...and some men also...

Why our madam choose this movie? Perhaps, she wanted to show us, how other people lived in the past. Even nowadays, some people are living in a such (bad) situation... So, i hope all my classmates will think intellegently and will thanks GOD, that HE gave us an opportunity to live in perfect situation, like nowadays)))

Thank you)
