I rarely watch "children's theme" movies, but the "Walk to School" I saw by chance far exceeded my expectations.
Today, let's talk about this children's film "Walk to School", which was filmed in 2009.
The plot of this movie is actually very simple, in the remote ethnic minority mountainous area, there is a pair of brothers and sisters, the older sister is called Na Xiang, and the younger brother is called Wa wa.
Because they live in the mountains, they have to rely on a "zipline" in front of the door to go out every day to get to the other side of the river.
However, what is strange is that the mother only let Na Xiang zipline to go to school every day, and if the family wants to buy something, she also let Na Xiang go.
Although his younger brother Wava also wanted to go, his mother said that he would not let him go to the "zipline" without saying anything.
At first, I thought that my mother was a son over a daughter, but later I learned that when my mother was ziplining, she had an accident and almost fell into the river, and after that, my mother never crossed the river again, nor did she go out again.
The reason why Na Xiang zipline crossed the river was only because she had to go to school, and she had to go out.
The village chief joked that her mother was "bitten by a snake and afraid of the well rope for ten years", after all, Wawa was smart enough, and when she reached school age, he could not be trapped at home forever.
Although her mother did not allow Wawa to go out, Wawa still secretly took the rope and slipped across the river, and he ran to the elementary school to secretly watch his sister Na xiang attend class through the window.
The new teacher in the class taught the students to memorize ancient poems, and the other children repeatedly memorized them for a long time without remembering, but the Wawa outside the window remembered them at once.
But he sneaked out, afraid that his mother would catch him, so he had to hide back at home before his mother found out.
A female college student from the big city of Shenzhen came to the internship, the first day she came to the mountains, she felt that the children here were very different, for example, now it is obviously very cold, why are the children here wearing sandals?
She went to ask the principal, who told her, "The children here are used to it, and they are very poor, and it would be nice to have a pair of sandal slippers to wear."
Hearing this, the female college student felt very uncomfortable, so she immediately contacted her friends in Shenzhen and asked them to donate a batch of rain boots and two pairs of socks.
When the female teacher, with the new rain boots, personally delivered to Na Xiang's house, Wawa was also very small, so he made a request, if he gave him his sister's rain boots, he would no longer sneak to the zipline.
The mother did not agree, but the sister obediently gave her the rain boots in her hand.
Wa wa was very happy, in the middle of the night to hold this pair of rain boots to sleep, the next day together, he took this pair of rain boots out to send his sister to school, just saw other classmates, today are wearing new shoes, Wa Wa saw the two words, he shouted his sister back, and put on the new shoes for his sister, he said: "My sister should also wear new shoes, she is the most beautiful." (To be honest, I cried when I saw this)
My sister happily wore these shoes to school, but as soon as she went out, she had to pick them up, because these shoes were given to her by her brother, and she was reluctant to wear them.
When she came home from school in the evening, her sister went to the store to buy salt, and just saw a pair of sneakers, she asked the boss for the price, in fact, she wanted to buy a new pair of shoes for her brother to go back, but the money was not enough, she could only go back.
Just turning around, she met the new female teacher, who saw through her sister's thoughts and said, "I bought it, you can bring the new shoelace back to your brother!" ”
At night, the sister happily took this pair of sneakers and went to the "zipline" but who knows, the sneakers were not put away, fell out of the back pocket, and in order to pick up this pair of sneakers, the sister accidentally fell into the Nu River as soon as she turned around.
The death of his sister caused a great blow to Wawa, and since then he has never spoken again, only looking at the Nu River at the door every day.
Female college students came to the door to do psychological counseling, and Wava confided in her, it turned out that his sister had told him before that in the future, when they built a bridge here, they could walk to school hand in hand.
In his paintings, he paints the scene of walking with his sister holding hands.
It's just that now that his sister is dead, Wawa can't wait for her sister anymore, and even the windmill he paid for her sister is useless.
Seeing this painting of Wava, the female teacher burst into tears.
Six months later, a new iron bridge was built where Wawa's sister fell, and Wawa, with the encouragement of her parents, finally walked to the rope bridge, and he fantasized that he and his sister were holding hands and "walking to school", and he fantasized that her sister was not dead.
It's just a pity that the bridge is repaired, but the people are no longer there.
Although this movie is a very traditional "public welfare" type of film, the acting skills of the two young actors are really good.
And the feelings of Na Xiang and Wa Wa, the brother and sister, really hit the heart of the audience, coupled with the soundtrack and beauty of the film, it is indeed a good children's movie, if you have time, you can accompany your children to watch this movie.
