Children of Heaven

I have often been in a situation when I just don't know what to do: not sleepy, not interested in reading nor in chatting. For the first time I could get myself to think and what I really wanted to do was watch a soothing film. I decided to give Majid Majidi's Children of Heaven a try (keeping a romantic movie in buffer... just in case)


But not for a minute did I minimize the window or check the time remaining . 

The movie takes you in completely and familiarizes so much with the characters that you begin to sympathize with them. It reminded me of: 


School (especially the primary days) 

• the benches, 
• the games and
• the reaching-in-time :D

AND 

My brother (anybody with an elder brother would feel the same)

• for seeing things straight
• for all the running around and 
• for the care :D

A sweet movie with its heart in place; can jerk tears if yours too is.
