Children of Heaven was a very enjoyable movie for us to watch. It was a very different experience compared to the other foreign films we have watched. It was nice to see life through the perspective of children. It's funny that so much drama can occur around one pair of shoes. Both Ali and Zahra are very naive, but they're also very adventurous. Seeing every problem in their eyes was like a new experience. The best part would have to be the ending. When Ali runs the race, the connection between his running and Zahra's running was very symbolic. The running seemed to be symbolic of being in a rush or going straight towards the goal. For Ali, he wanted to win the pair of sneakers for his sister, but for Zahra, it was the fact that she had to return her brothers shoes immediately. Both goals seem simple and small, but the truth of the matter is they weren't. If they were such simple and small goals, then there wouldn't be a movie that was based around them.
