My sister’s shoes

Majid Majidi

Review

A review is an in depth analysis of a literary piece of work. It makes a comprehensive discussion on the plot, characters, theme, feeling and background of the work

My sister‟s shoe depicts four scenes of a family drama of the film „Children of heaven‟ by Majid Majidi. Prepare a review of the screen play.

‘Children of Heaven’ is a touching play directed by the renowned Iranian film maker Majid Majidi. My sister’s shoe is an extract taken from the screen play of ‘Children of Heaven’. Four important scenes are well presented in the play. The family’s precarious condition and financial constraints are beautifully depicted in the play. The shopkeeper demands money to Ali to pay off their debt. He said that their borrowing had crossed the limit. They could not even pay the rent. It shows their financial state.

Ali is depicted as the main character in the play who belongs to a poor Iranian family. He is presented as a lovable, hardworking, devoted and sincere boy who always cares about his parents and his beloved sister in the film. He was busy in the beginning of the film at cobbler’s shop. He had to repair his sister’s shoe. So

Ali took the shoe of his sister Zahra to the cobbler. He places the bag of shoes in the small gap between two boxes. After collecting the vegetable, he noticed that his bag was not seen there. The junk collector came and took thinking that it was garbage.

Ali came to home desperately and told Zahra that he missed her shoes. She was stunned and shocked to hear the loss of dear shoes. She could not believe this tragic news. But she was being comforted by Ali. He told her not to tell their father about the loss of shoes. Zahra agreed but the loss of shoes frustrated much and she could not think about going to school without her shoes. She was fully aware that buying shoes was beyond their means. She agreed to go to school by wearing his sneakers.

The play focuses on the values like love, patience, affection, consideration and gives much importance in family relationship. The author beautifully depicts the family adjustment, cooperation and mutual understanding in the play which are necessary to have these qualities in human society.
