You know, I love looking people in the eyes. Bright, bleak, happy, painful, like a mirror, flowy. Those who are still light in old age, those who are still hung with stars in middle age, those who are still in love when they are young are the pasts that I want to have before I die. And these, in the eyes of the child, are the starry sky that once gathered the Milky Way. Don't let it dim, don't let it...

[Shanghai Film Festival Screening] The Jury Award, recommended by Fu Mao platform, is really good. I think it can be divided into four chapters: sister, mother, child, revenge. Children's scenes are inherently difficult to shoot, let alone children and babies. The short section of the street scene is thrilling and has the quality of a documentary. The little boy's acting skills are amazing. Showing the plight of children at the bottom and refugees from black households is a bit sensational but...

A realistic version of "Nobody Knows". The little male protagonist is too mature for his age, and the brilliant lines the director wants to express through the boy's mouth are deliberately made, and the sense of drama is too heavy. The script and the handling of the transfer in some places are still a little green, and the courtroom scene has no tension, and it is also weakening the impact of the boy's complaint against his parents. The little guy is really...

Lebanon's architecture, landscape, and living conditions at the bottom are very fresh. The director's filming method is still a documentary-style life flow. Aesthetically, it belongs to the three major European literary and artistic films that are commonly seen, but that's all. The middle section is changed to the perspective of a black mother, so that the story can escape from the perspective of a little boy. This is also the director's creation in dealing with the story, and the plot is slow...

It is no exaggeration to say that Labaki used one film to stand on the same level as his predecessors, Abbas (documentary and fiction, children's films) and Hirokazu Shiekeda (non-blood families at the bottom). How to distinguish the real from the miserable? It depends on whether the creator really stands with the characters. It was obviously another demonstration of handheld photography, and the piercing pain that pierced through the screen reminded me of "Little Guy" in Cannes that same year....

Three and a half stars, with the director's nuanced observation of the slums, it's hard not to be moved by these homeless children struggling on the streets. However, the traces of the play design are obvious. The screenwriter knows how to manipulate the emotions of the audience and is overly emotional, although the periodic court scenes interrupt the overall narrative and bring the audience a chance to breathe. But then again, what we should remember is not the details of the story, but the...

A child will be born for us, but many humans are simply not ready. War, refugees, people of color, abandonment, child marriage, slums... It's really too bad to let children, and babies even younger than them, endure suffering that is completely inappropriate for their age, from an adult perspective and a combination of the third world. man-made...

2.5 / When the little male protagonist and the "child" "farewell" on the street and stretched out the emotional flow that is rarely seen in the whole film, the disadvantages of all the inefficient pseudo-life flow in the first 3/4 were finally exposed to the greatest extent: this should be stubborn and tenacious The characters are completely isolated under the camera and hardly produce natural deep interaction, and are even compressed into fragmented action showmen for flat advertising-style...
