I cry cry cry....really couldnt stop crying ....the more I think about Ali and Zahara (by and Chance My Mother's name is Zahara and her eleder brother is Ali) so, thinking that even I lost in crying,,,,Poor lil Zahara,,,,she is really running to her lil sis/bro @ 3:43...heart touching! From Africa
If only this movie is produced and directed by hollywood filmmakers, it surely shows that the man abused the wife, marry another, hit the kids and so on..
..but the fact is in this movie. it shows the reality on how muslims live in the middle east, they're poor but were truthful and respectful, and they are blessed with little things they have.
brilliant... :) i can remember watching this movie when i was younger and i hadnt noticed the shoes on his dad's bicycle back then... it's a good thing i get to watch this again...:) ali is the cutest, most adorable kid... :) thank u for uploading
Perfect ending. The dad did NOT have money by chance... he had money because Ali made it happen, by helping him get that gardening job. So the moral is people should help one another, and in the end all will benefit.
How come you think it is bad? It's not...he did put a lot of effort in it to be third...but he did win...became number one; he won a life-lesson by putting something that is needed first (shoes for sister), no ,matter what place it is. He will get the reward, as well as his sister by being patient and understanding (forgiving and not telling parents): both will get the shoes from dad: he bought them (finally could affort). So be truthful, determined, honest, accepting; you'll get what you need!
i totally agree with your true comment on it my friend, thank you very much to giving the most appropriate words in a succinct way, if i would have written that it could have be the same words to appriciate it. thanks
That wasn't a real finishing up ending it should have been...imagine the school teachers coming home and praising him -making his parents feel proud, and then him revealing all he wanted was a shoe, and they laugh it off and explain the significance of what he won, and a shoe they could easily buy for him. That should have been it...
But they could NOT afford the shoes, that is the crux of the issue, here, and he and his sister know this, so they plot instead to problem solve on their own.
It's not an American story--it's a story about real and true poverty and children who want only simple material things--actually NEED simple material things.
i dont understand either. i enjoyed it all though.
i reckon the boy is upset because he never came third, he came first and never got the sneakers, but he won something more valuable which he doesnt know about nor admire.
I think that it is a Western reaction to say that "winning is everything" and that the medal counts for all--he just wants the shoes because THAT prize would help his sister and family more than a medal.
It is a great movie, so many moral values are shown by this movie. Love, affection, perseverance in a family, which have been rare found in this materialistic world..Thank you for uploading the movie..
I got an ask... in anyone knows where can I watch or download the movie "Le grand voyage" (but necessarily with english subtitles) then please let me know, I would be very thankful
Absolutamente hermosa. Muchas gracias por subir cada una de las partes. Personalmemte valoro muchisimo estas películas....se hacen con tan poco...y valen demasiado.
You can look at the fishes kissing Ali's feet as a way of healing, the way parents or some significant other will kiss a wound to "make it go away." The moral of this story is that if your intentions and the way you follow through are pure, then God, Allah, the Universe, however you wish to express it, will always give you what you want and need in abundance. Perserverance is key. This movie has many morals to teach everyone, and it accomplishes it with a very simple storyline! Do you not agree?
Ali is so innocent that he did not realize that becomming first in the race have higher reward ( I guess). The kid is not greedy for money reward or anything, it is only a pair of shoes that he wants for his younger sister. Great movie.
Maybe you could drop a dollar into buying presents for unfortunate children this Christmas! Many don't understand that a dollar can be a huge amount of money to a child in countries with less money value...
Very touching moive. Yes, kids are shy,sweet and highly passionate.
he wins : two weeks in a holiday camp and set of sports suit. Sad no shoes. But, I think if I am right his dad took the shoes when he bought something from the market.
last time i watched this movies when i was 11 year old but i didnt finished watching it. now, after 10 years, finally i can watched this movies till the end..haha~
oh, thanks for telling me that, now i feel so much better that at least there was a new pair of shoes in the end. but what was the moral of this? i know it showed a boy's perseverance and love for his sister, is that the moral? even though it didn't seem to help in the end?
I guess the director wanted to show everyone the love and affection the children showed on people around them. The scene where they went to get her shoes back from the little girl and came back empty handed was just beautiful...
thanks i didn't see the shoes although i have watched it twice. i pay my attention on the sugar instead. if you didn't say, i still don't know and probably still thinking the ending is missing something.
it signifies healing, comfort and a beautiful way of rewarding him for his great achievement. Nature finds its own way of bringing nourishment to the people who deserves.
...hi there...for my interpretation...even the fishes know his good heart...his legs smell bad or even swollen yet...nothing is compared to his good heart..i hope my sons have good heart like Ali...
Very very very beautiful!

Be honest and kind to others, you will be treated the same by others.
And I love the society that people feel for each other and help each other out when they are in trouble.
Ali is not a kid, he is a man!

Is it saying that? It's only by chance that the father can afford shoes, no?
And they don't know in the end--only viewers do. Ali and Zahra still sit plotting, wondering what to do. Thus will be their lives, no?
