Mr. Neko already arrived at my right hand is prevented, the room is almost empty, Cecilia coats spreads along the entire row. Cinema in the late evening, the evening is that of Valentine's Day and after a day of sellers of roses hanging from the windows of the car was not really a bad idea.
mainland China, 1949 or so. In a nursery full of babies comes one a little special, rules, schedules, meals, sleep, games, everything is done with a rigid and iron discipline. The bravest earn small red flowers that fill the pockets of jackets for all but the equal and identical Qiang, the little boy hero, just cannot get in tune with the monotonous order of those days. Bored and a little rebellious, poorly tolerated by the severity of his teacher, but soon Qiang understand that in this new reality, there is little room for him and his imagination. After the attempted rebellion that involves all the children in school, after punishment, the isolation and the attempt to escape the order of things will return to being one of the first: between schedules, and games dictated marches to the sound of the whistle.
Children, to my surprise, the actors are fantastic, the photography is fun and colorful, the film may be a little slow but always fascinating.
I finally found a film gentle, simple and graceful. It reflects on China at that time and you do it through the eyes of children aged 4 years to see parade and marching soldiers in uniform in front of their school. Glimpsed the future and the Cultural Revolution, they are questioning themselves on a small piece of history, a small fragment, without any willingness to do more than suggest.
