Bribe or True Love...??

Still on 'Children of Heaven'...there are many times when the brother Ali gives his sister many of his things...like the new pencil, the pen which he got for scoring good grades...I initially wondered if he is bribing his sister to keep the 'secret' from his Mom and Pop...or does he really like her to have those things...?
But eventually...when he runs the race during the finale of the movie ...you realize the true love that he had for his sister...

The moment when he asks...with great anticipation...'Am I third Sir..??' ...really is heart wrenching...it shows us that sometimes in life...coming 'first' is not always the optimal end...it also goes to show the truth about the proverb ...'Man proposes and God Disposes'....

This is one movie which has moved me like no other movie has until now.

Simply superb, awesome...and I think the dictionary is short on words to describe the pure magic of this movie.

This movie has its heart and the whole in the right place...no doubts about that...

There are so many subtle and beautiful truths about life that have been represented in this movie...like the love and trust between a brother and sister...and the sacrifices which kids make by understanding the problems of their parents.

This movie is at a far far higher plateau than most other no-brainer, techno-babble American movies.

Just a single pair of shoes...takes Ali and Zahra on a whirlwind adventourous journey...and takes the viewers to heights which no theme park fun ride can...!!!

Also I feel that people in some of the developed countries may not be able to relate to the heart of this movie since they have everything in aplenty. The value of losing the only pair of shoes you have...is difficult to understand while you have like 10-20 pairs in your shoe closet...

This movie teaches so many morals...to children and adults alike...

I think...I will end it here...else I may go on the whole night about the movie..

I will probably add my perspectives about the movie...whenever I find some time...

Till then...adieu amigos...
