The title of this post is actually a comment on the YouTube trailer of the movie I am going to talk about today. The movie is called "Children of Heaven". I will not be writing a synopsis because I strongly recommend watching it and I believe that it is one of those movies that will touch everybody's heart no matter what!

Unfortunately, it is an Iranian movie. Dont want to sound racist, I just mean that movies from this part of the world do not reach the kind of audience and applause they deserve. I can confidently claim that this movie is better than most of the Hollywood movies we see everyday. Btw, I am highly impressed by the Cinema of Iran. I wish they get more recognition and acclaim from the rest of the world.
The film is about two siblings who come from a less privileged home. They lose a pair of shoes and then comes a series of heart touching moments. It is the importance of family and the tender love between them that makes the movie seem alien!

The most important thing that this movie teaches is to be thankful for the blessings that we have. Something that we deem useless might mean a whole world to some other poor being. Never keep piles of stuff in your possession if you don't use them, give them away, they might be deployed to better use then just keeping in a wardrobe!
The movie is a tearjerker...and you might end up falling in love with the "Children of Heaven!".
Hats off to Majeed Majidi for such astounding piece of Art.
