The Breadwinner
Thank you to @Miram, i am going to love this, and this is a sacred watch, does not belong in my hellish 666 film festival, here is the beginning of a review
Based on the popular young adult novel by Deborah Ellis,“The Breadwinner” is an ambitious but occasionally uneven animated film that tells the story of Parvana (voiced by Saara Chaudry), an eleven-year-old girl living in Kabul with her family under Taliban rule. While women are forbidden to leave their house to go to the marketplace, Parvana is allowed there as long as she is accompanied by her beloved father (Ali Badshah), a one-legged former teacher. The heroine's father tries to instill the importance of telling stories, both as a way to distract from the horrors of the outside world and to potentially serve as an agent of change. While at home one night, a group of Taliban soldiers, led by an especially angry former student who barely seems to be past school age himself, barge in and take her father away to prison. This leaves Parvana and the rest of her family—a sickly mother, an older sister and a baby brother—to fend for themselves despite having no legal way to do something as simple as purchasing food so that they don’t starve. (Even a simple trip to a nearby well for water, as we see, is fraught with danger.)
notes
the art style is gorgeous, when it shows the heavenlies during a brief history re-telling
The Taliban, one legged papa, girl's face not covered properly, cover story for her future marriage so she can be left alone to listen to stories and she's like what's the use, she's getting older
this is more real both in depiction and story in one of it's scenes than many whole movies put together, papa's taken by the T. and well things don't look so swell at the moment!
says so much with so few words
Sublimely wonderful, heart wrenching, and beautiful, good people stuck in an unfortunate climate of war and hatred.
Raise your hearts, not your voice. It is rain that makes the flowers grow. Not thunder.
