Today, let's talk about the movie "The Breadwinner".
Title: The Breadwinner (2017), alias The Little Mulan (Hong Kong) / Little Flower under the Flames of War (Taiwan) / Breadwinner / Head of the Family.
The Breadwinner is based on Deborah Ellis' novel of the same name, The Breadwinner.
The story is about a 12-year-old Afghan girl named Pavana who has to prop up a family when her father is taken and her mother is beaten and injured.
The Breadwinner is the third animated feature film co-produced by Irish animation studio Cartoon Salon.
They currently produce four animated feature films, namely "The Secret of the Book of Kells" (2009), "Song of the Sea" (2014), "The Breadwinner" (2017) and "Wolf Walker" (2020), all of which have been nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film by O'Maka, which is really a production of one nomination, high level and stable quality.
The director of "The Breadwinner" is not Tom Moore, the director of the other three works of the cartoon salon, but Tom Moore stepped back behind the scenes as a producer, directed by Nora Twomey, another co-director of The Secret of the Book of Kells.
It is clear that this film is different from the other three films, the style of the painting has changed from Tom Moore's personal style to 2D animation and silhouette animation, and the story content has nothing to do with Irish culture, and has shifted to focus on war-torn Afghanistan.
The story points out that this is not a true story, but it is really happening in Afghanistan.
Pavana is condensed with the figures of thousands of ordinary Afghan families, and when we blow the air conditioner and eat watermelon, they still live in the days when there is no tomorrow.
Pavana's father, who lost a leg in the war, took her to set up a stall to sell things to support the family.
Her father's former student Idris took pride in upholding the ban after joining the Taliban. Idris tried to marry Pavana unsuccessfully, so he took Pavana's father under false charity and cut off the pawana family. Idris was full of spring breeze when he oppressed the people, and the funny thing was that when he learned that he was going to go to war, he had a dying expression.
Not discouraged, Pavana bravely stepped forward, cut off a haircut, dressed as a boy on her undeveloped body, and took to the streets to keep the family alive.
Pavana bravely takes to the streets, trying all kinds of things that can earn money, and she meets Shosia, who is also disguised as a boy, and the two little girls support each other.
The Afghan Taliban regime relied on religion to rally a group of people, which gradually developed into extreme Islamism.
In order to further consolidate religious power, the Taliban issued a series of regulations for imprisoning women, believing that liberating women would corrupt the army and deprive soldiers of masculinity, and that persecuting women was a good way to maintain the morale of the army.
So a series of extreme regulations were introduced: women are not allowed to leave their homes for no reason, they are not allowed to work, study, shop, and seek medical treatment, they must go to women's special hospitals, tailors are prohibited from tailoring for women, and women are not allowed to shout in public places.
There are also a series of prohibitions: no music, no shaving, no bird keeping, no kite flying, no idolatry, no gambling, no drug use, no Western hairstyles, no profit lending, no wedding music and dance, no witchcraft divination, and must complete prayers on time.
Pavana means "butterfly" in ancient Iranian language.
It's hard to imagine that the story takes place in the same time and space as us, and that it is our neighbor to the west.
12 years old should be the first year of junior high school, and children who should be sitting in the bright school to learn knowledge are forced to take on the livelihood of the whole family.
"The Breadwinner" very vividly explains that "it is better to be a peaceful dog than a chaotic world", in a chaotic world, every day can only think about how to survive, peace is already the greatest luxury, reading and reading have become unrealistic fantasies.
If there are school-age children in the family, watching "The Breadwinner" will help children correct their learning attitudes.
In purgatory with hope,
Brave teenagers live with true feelings.
