Children of Heaven (Bacheha-Ye aseman)- Iran 1997
This is a miscellaneous movie on the list.
Children of Heaven. This movie is an hour and twenty-nine minutes long. At first I thought "Boy is this movie slow." For the short time the movie is on, it is insanely slow. At first the conflict is apparent, there is a conflict there, but it is...not even a conflict. The resolution is so close, it doesn't even feel like there is something happening in the movie. There is no antagonist which makes me question my earlier statement about the conflict. If there is no protagonist nor antagonist then is there any conflict? not even in this story, but any story. Woah, this movie just raised a life-changing question to my mind.
The two young actors are fantastic. Kinda, from a guy looking at a child actor they were good.
The story isn't sad but the ending is so happy. I am giving this film a 7, slightly reluctantly. No, never mind, I am giving it a 6. This movie gets a 6 mostly because of it's good cinematography and for the last 15 minutes of the story.
