      Where Is the Friend's House?--Good Qualities of Children

      A pure and simple children's movie The seriousness, kindness, and perseverance of children are touching, and the twists and turns of the process are heart-wrenching. Adults are immersed in their own worlds, become short-sighted, lose respect for children, and lose the patience to listen, which is tragic compared to children.

      Where Is the Friend's House?--Sensible Child

      The storyline is simple, and it's amazing to shoot something so simple so well! Children are pitiful. In the adult world, they are weak and unable to resist, and adults don't take what they say to heart. The adults also didn't have the patience or time to listen to the children. Although Amer insisted on communicating with them, they still didn't listen to him, as if there was no such person...

Suddenly, he returned to his childhood in a trance, and was casually called by his parents, How hated that endless beckoning was back then! Adults always have doubts about your ideas and practices, always think that children are stupid and naive and can be ignored... In the first half of the movie, I was really tangled and uncomfortable for Amud, and I couldn't find a friend's home. I also...

      pure as a child

      Watching this movie, I saw that adults neglected their children’s words and thoughts countless times, saw that adults who were restricted by society taught children the rules in a serious manner, saw that children took the teacher’s intimidation as a big thing, and saw that children I ran with the donkey tirelessly, saw the child's big eyes pure and dipped into the water and looked at each other, saw that there was another solution to the matter after seeing despair, and saw the little flower...

      How to understand the very act of "searching for Muhammad" may be a way to unearth what Abbas expressed about something other than childhood. Of course, this is not the point. Abbas always talks about...

      Although the teacher did not find that the handwriting of the two is a little unreal at the end, I am willing to accept the unreality's reaction to the child's innocent world. Iranian movies like this always fuel my hope in...

    Director Abbas has made nearly 16 films of different lengths before this, and it was not until the launch of "Where Is My Friend's Home" that he made his debut in the international film industry. The story is not shocking, but it is unforgettable. For the first time, the world of children was presented so conspicuously to adults, and the Iranian children's film began. The innocence of children filters the hearts of every viewer. This...
