"Little Shoes"
Sister's shoes to take to mending, so that the brother accidentally lost, the family's mother is sick, no money to buy new shoes. Because I was afraid of being beaten by my dad, I didn't dare to tell my mom and dad either.
So the brother and sister could only share a pair of shoes. The younger sister can only take off her shoes to her brother after school, and the older brother is often late for school because of this, and twice he met the director, who later refused to let him into the school and told his father to come to the school to see him.
The little boy did not dare to say anything about the missing shoes, but kept begging the director for forgiveness.
One day, his sister realized that the missing shoes appeared on the feet of a little girl from the same school.
She followed with her brother to the little girl's house, hiding behind a wall and watching, wanting to get back the shoes, which were already very tattered. The door to the little girl's house opened and a blind man stepped out.
That was the little girl's father, a blind man who collected rags. At the market that day, he had mistaken the bag his brother had put aside for garbage and had taken it away. He probably came home and realized that the shoes were still wearable and gave them to his little girl.
The two siblings watched the scene in silence at the same time, and tacitly chose not to go forward, turning away.
What was seen in the depths of the eyes was kindness in its purest form.
A pair of poor people's children, sympathize with another family of poor people. The sympathy was unfeigned, uncostly, and awe-inspiring.
The older brother went to sign up for a running race for the reward of a pair of shoes that he wanted to give to his sister.
Before the race, he made a solemn promise to his sister that he would come in third place and win the pair of shoes to give to her.
During the race the brother gets pushed back and falls behind.
In the end, he insisted on getting up and running forward with all his might.
The movie focuses on that hard panting. Anyone who has ever taken a long-distance running test should be able to understand how grueling the experience of having to go for a sprint at the end of the run can be.
In the end, the older brother came in first place.
But the reward for first place was not shoes. He missed his appointment and didn't get third place as promised, and didn't get the shoes he promised to give to his sister.
After winning the championship, the school leaders were so happy that they asked the little boy to take a picture with them.
The photographer told the little boy to look up and smile.
Once he looked up, the little boy's tears of loss ran down his cheeks.
Like a punch to the heart of the audience in front of the screen.
That moment brought tears to my eyes along with it.
There are so many tearful moments in this movie that if you too experienced a straitened childhood, then almost every frame of footage about the siblings is capable of bringing you to tears. It's not that the movie is overly melodramatic, it's that the camera conveys alternating emotions of truth, beauty, compassion, and helplessness, and every scene is nose-tingling.
The shoes are the embodiment of kindness, and in my mind, this is one of the greatest 'children's movies' of all time.
