In front of them are scorched earth, shell casings, abandoned tanks left over from the war, and tight control around them, but the girl Pavana and her companions can still look at the blue sea in the photo and look forward to the future.
"The Breadwinner" is too deep, but the fictional story is full of truth.
It is an animated film worthy of the Oscar nomination, which vividly shows the environment and people's living conditions in Afghanistan through the form of animation. Animated film, it's hard enough to hit my heart hard, and this is the best story to tell.
After watching "The Kite Chaser", you can better appreciate the difficulties in the historical background of "The Breadwinner". Once known as the "Little Switzerland of the Middle East", Afghanistan, the civilized industry of business education is moving toward modernization, and girls are free to dress and study freely, not only can go to university to work and even participate in elections. In Afghanistan today, film and television are banned, men must keep beards, women must be masked, women are strictly forbidden to go out without a man accompanying them, and women are not allowed to receive education and employment.
It is in this context that the story of the breadwinner slowly unfolds. The girl's father was a teacher and her mother was a historian. As a result of the closure of all secular schools, neither the father nor the mother had financial resources. In the brutal war, my father also broke a leg, and in order to survive the family, he had to sell the family's belongings and read letters to people to support the family.
One day, Idris, one of his father's former students, had a grudge and arrested Pavana's father.
The mother was severely beaten for going out without a man and violating the ban. Looking at the family with a sick mother, an adult sister and a young brother, the little girl Pavana chose to cut off her long hair and disguise herself as a boy and walked out of the house.
At the bazaar, Pavana meets shoshia, a former friend who also dresses up as a boy, and two girls dressed up as boys, who can be free for a while, running together, moving bricks, and even envisioning the future. Another mythical story in the story is also told here, the duel between the little boy and the elephant king. The two lines of reality and myth go hand in hand, and myth gives Pavana a great deal of courage, faith, and hope in a cruel time.
The mythical story ends with the boy retrieving the seeds from an elephant in the center of the mountain.
At the end of the movie, the sister and brother and mother go home in the dark of night, and Pavana also embarks on the journey home with her father.
Whether they met or not, I don't know.
Maybe it will be a good ending, and living is hope.
Finally, may there be peace in the world. The suffering passes quickly.
Make sense, not raise your volume. After all, it is the rain and dew that nourish the flowers, not the rolling thunder.
