Children Of Heaven

This is that kind of movie, that isn't much well known...among the masses that is..but was nominated for an oscar..
But i saw this movie, not knowing of its oscar fame...a friend gave a bunch of korean movies and this masterpiece..so just watched it..and loved it
A story of two small kids- Ali and Zohra, from a poor family of Iran, and how a missing pair of shoes make their already difficult life, a bit more challenging...its not a sob-story, instead its an ode to simple joys that we all never take notice of..
Ali has those big eyes, droopy eye-brows; and Zohra looks like a tiny angel..you cant do anything but love them... you'll wonder, why you crib so much about not having this or doing that??? these kids don't whine and blame the world, they just look for the solutions- whatever their tiny lil head can come up with...
My favorite is the scene with the fishes around Ali's toe..and his cutest dialog when he tells Zohra, he'll come third in the race just to win her the sneakers...it amazes me how kids can think and understand and perceive better than some adults...
Its in Persian with English subtitles, but do listen carefully, you'll feel more connected with the characters..

All in all, a very simple movie, but can make you feel many things that you wouldn't have felt in a long time..
