A lot of Iranian films have been about "finding": the white balloon, where is my friend's house, and this little shoe. The object of search is concrete in film, but perhaps more abstract in real life.

Looking at the innocent smiles of the few children inside, I am often moved to cry, because this is a time I can never go back to, a smile that I can never have again. Without the innocence, how can I reproduce the innocent smile? So the child is always the product of all the goodness and love in the world.

The two brothers and sisters who lost their little shoes began to live the same life as the pair of teenagers in "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle". They exchanged shoes every day to read, and changed shoes while waiting, because they were afraid that the other party would be late. But suddenly one day, my brother's sneakers accidentally fell into the river. At this time, there will always be someone with good intentions to help him. This is almost the same in "White Balloon" and "Under the Moonlight", the other party always Without asking for anything in return, I would rather spend time and energy to accompany the child, just to keep the child from worrying and worrying. However, the reason why the shoes have to be changed every day is due to the embarrassment of the family's economic conditions. The elder brother understands this, and the younger sister does not understand.

A phenomenon can reflect many problems, and this is the diversification of film. For example, another little girl, when the brother and sister saw that a family of three also lived in poverty, they still lightly gave up the idea of ​​asking for shoes. On the other hand, when I hear my father crying while chanting, I think the reason why Iranian movies can make me cry a lot is that maybe this is a relationship between people that relies on religious emotions and beliefs in essence. country, but at the highest level of this emotion should be kindness and love, as every little child possesses.

When the brother was running, the shadow of the younger sister kept flashing, the rapid breathing mixed with the competition for the third place, and the two pairs of shoes bought for the brothers and sisters in the father's back pocket, finally all heralded a kind of hope and warmth. What could be more moving and beautiful than a shot like this.
