I am an indifferent person, even when I watch a movie, I have no expression on my face. After all, a big man was crying and laughing outside, very embarrassed.
But the "Breader" I watched yesterday broke my indifferent principle. At the end of the movie, there is a round of bright moon, surrounded by a hazy and perfect moon halo, and Pawana is underneath, pushing her father who survived the catastrophe, and walking forward.
A tear appeared in the corner of my eye. I wiped it off quickly, but it was too late. This story will reverberate in my mind for a long time, maybe someday it will touch the tear glands again.
As a story writer, I can sit in front of the big screen and persuade myself, "fiction", "use a few very emotional plots," and "what will not happen in reality", so that I can always be alienated from the story. Outside, stay indifferent.
But in the face of "The Breadwinner", I couldn't do it at all. He is too real, there is no forcibly happy ending, no world saved by heroes, only cruel and devastated reality.
The halo that was in the moonlight with Pawana is often used by Afghans as the girl’s name, Hara. The last time Pawana saw this name was in a letter. The letter said that the woman named Hara stepped on a landmine and died.
It was a Taliban soldier who asked Pawana to read this letter. The soldier was tall and terrifying. He was on patrol not long ago, reprimanding Pawana and her father, and paying attention to the girl's words and deeds.
But at this time, the soldier, sobbing softly, stroked the "Hala" in the letter. This Hara is his unmarried wife.
Surrounded by the moon and dotted with the night sky, it should be the best thing in the world, but it disappeared in a few words during the war. Without seeing the blood, a person disappears into life. This is the reality of a world of chaos and human lives.
We have seen too many "God of War", "Brave Hearts", and too many heroic characters turning the tide and shining in the war. After reading too much, we have overlooked the fact that when the war comes, we will not be the heroes, but the grass and mustards floating around in the storm of the war.
In the hottest movie "Operation Red Sea" at the beginning of 18 years, the commando rescued a hostage from a car bomb. He trembled and begged the players to let them save his child. He can do nothing by himself. Once tied to the war vehicle, fate is no longer his own.
The disappearing Hara is just a small story in "The Breadwinner". If I think about it carefully, many people hidden in the details have disappeared like that. The man who threw Pawana's father into prison was thrown into front-line artillery after the war began, and there was no word from him. When he stepped into the car on the front line, I realized that, even he himself realized that he was just a kid with a beard on his mouth.
Cruel? It's cruel. The fate of all people is the same as Afghanistan where they live, and they are always experiencing war. As the empire came and went, Afghanistan, which was in the throat of the throat, was run over again and again. Their target was not even Afghanistan, just because Afghanistan blocked their way.
In the war, Afghanistan, like its people, was nothing but cannon fodder.
However, cruelty is not the whole story of "Family Supporter". Only cruelty cannot make my face of 10,000 years of indifference shed tears. What really moved people was Pawana and the people of this land.
Pawana encountered numerous obstacles and was still able to feed the family and rescue her dying father. The Afghan people, in the flames of war on all sides, also live a strong life. When the war broke out, everything might be destroyed, but the wild flowers on the roadside were growing.
That tenacity is something that really moved me. More shocking than artillery fire, more exhilarating than the roar of blood.
Nowadays, the film "The Breadwinner" is also experiencing the same fate as Pawana and the Afghan people, and it has been affected in the commercial wars of various blockbusters. This is the most beautiful movie, but the number of suppressed films is getting less and less, which makes people feel distressed.
However, "The breadwinner" also embodies the valuable qualities in the movie, and remains tenacious under the flames of war. The reputation is getting higher and higher, and more and more attention has been paid to him. Like a flower on the roadside, he is growing tenaciously.
I hope he can grow into a big tree soon and be seen by everyone. Such a beautiful thing should not be buried.
