Children from different cultures all all alike

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2006)

This movie is wonderful. I teach drama in an elementary school in PR and I showed this movie to my students.I wanted them to be exposed to a movie acted by children from a different culture. Language was no barrier for my students to enjoy and appreciate this movie. My students speak Spanish and the movie was in Farsi with subtitles in English. At the end they concluded that children from different cultures are all alike. Majid Majidi is an artist. With out the $$$ of Hollywood he makes movies that are far superior to all the silliness we have to see. I wish there were more movies like this one. It shows that true CINEMA does not depend of big names, fancy studios, digitalized effects, sugary plots and lack of imagination.
