A delicate story


I have in my mind a lot of greats movies like Christopher Nolan's films or "Fargo" and "Raising Arizona" of Coen Brothers but today I will talk about the film "Turtles can fly". I don't wanna choose something of Hollywood because they are so famous, so they don't need flattering words by me.
This is a iranian movie of 2004 written and directed by Bahman Ghobadi about Iraq's war against Estados Unidos. The difference in this movie with another war films is in actors. All of them are kids, and they show how live the consequence of violence and abuse for adults that kill for more power.
The story take place in a camp of a little town on Iraq, where children live their innocent days with bombs and mutilated bodies, but they are happy and play with each other.



I love this film because is so hard and delicate at once. Kids are little persons that have rules and hierarchy in the same way as adults are. Those scenes are shocking for a few moments.
About technical terms, photography is wonderful. Places are beautiful but dangerous for these kids who act in the most real performance of their lifes because many of them aren't professional, but they play like facts viewed before.



(Sorry for dubbing)
