 Assessment

The drama is clearly influenced by Italian neo-realists such as "Bicycle Thief" Vittorio De Sica director, Majid Majidi Helmer uses real locations and nonprofessional actors to fashion an interesting portrait of determination and youthful. And in order to document daily life in the capital, these filmmakers are not so put the material in this drama. The story is very close to real life makes a lot of people can easily go into this drama so as to attract the attention of the audience while watching this drama.

Ability protagonist of this drama, that Ali was very good and could actually manghayati role that can attract the attention of the audience penontan to make tears in his eyes as he watched the scenes of Ali perankan touching.

The innocence of children who dominate the play makes the audience was stunned awe watching this movie. Amir Farrokh Hashemian who served as Ali, described a brother who was so fond of his brother, willing to join a game just to run a shoe mendapatka gift he wants to give to his sister, Zahra. Bahareh Seddiqi innocence faces that act as Zahra (Ali's brother) was so wonderful, sweet little girl who so loved his family, who always fought vigorously to keep the school could even have difficulty taking turns with her sister's shoes every day. Both children are willing to sacrifice by alternating shoes to school just because they do not want their parents membebeni thinking about how to buy a shoe for Zahra amid economic situation is very mediocre, and even practically deficiency. Similarly, Mohammad Amir Naji who served as Ali's father, he worked hard day and night to solve the economic problems they are facing, on the other hand he wanted to give rock shoes for her two children.

So that this scene can give us the impression of an economic family in a very mediocre can work together to solve the economic problems they are facing. A family full of cooperation.
After seeing so many American movies in which the family is the norm function, can be initially unsettling to see a family whose members all love one another. Indeed, in addition to material loss, one of the things that cause pain as a boy is that he adored younger brother, but he has failed to make her smile. Majidi understands how such a terrible event could appear on a child, and although he admitted the presence of their parents, wisely he will remain focused on the perspective of children.
Although this line of play is very simple valued by some people, but the play was also able to captivate many audiences. Solidarity and affection between brother and sister so thick in this film an added value to this play and able to make the audience completely captivated by this play. This drama is practically close to perfect in the drama category of children.

And school is not meant to wear good shoes but must have knowledge and good achievement. Without a good shoe we were able to reach achievements. And gives us a fact that a child of the family economic situation even a mediocre sort of far from sufficient to get the value and good performance in school, even had achievements in the field of non-academic as well.

Here also can be seen that as if the writer wants to express his vision, the pain and joy of the kids like a little jewel.
