We underestimate children. They have to learn about these things eventually, and it's best if parents are there to help them understand and process it.
One scene that I think isn't talked about a lot is when Idress was chasing Parvana and Shauzia and threatening them with a gun. When he accidentally fired it and hears the silent he has a moment of realization that he just killed two children which shouldn't be surprising for him but it is Idrees looks to be like he is a young adult. Going into war and he is all talk about how he will fight for Islam and is so quick to talk about how he is ready for war when in reality he realizes he isn't at all. He realizes that he just took the lives of two kids (granted the girls didn't get shot but from his perspective he thinks they did). This humanizes his character a lot
I’d say Idrees doesn’t even look like a young adult yet. His patchy moustache and and smaller frame makes him seem like a teenager, maybe 13 years old, which is tragic
The scene that stays with me is when Parvana is in the market as Sulayman and sells a dress to a man who has a young woman with him. Parvana supposes that she is his daughter but the man says she is his wife. Even though he's easily old enough for her to be his daughter or even granddaughter
My fav scene in this film is where Idris leaves the film eyes widen, frightened after firing a weapon for the first time. He wanted to be a man, but deep down is still a little boy.
I was feeling so satisfied that we finally got a Middle East movie that isn’t a bunch of cliched US Army soldiers, where all the locals are terrorists!
"Raise your words. Not your voice. It is rain that makes the flowers grow. Not thunder." 😭❤️ Why am i crying so much, there is something so beautiful in those words. I wish these words would resonate inside of all mankind, maybe then there would be no war.

A bit late but same too. I watched this movie when i was like 9?(can't remember the exact time) and it was traumatizing. For the context, i was a very sheltered child. The closest thing I've watched that's considered "scary" was a fight scene from a movie i can't even remember the name of. So imagine my surprise when the scene where a man literally beats up the mother showed up. I was shocked and didn’t know what to feel. At first i thought the movie was sort of boring and slow paced but it just kept getting better and better. Although the movie was incredible my kid brain was too shocked and found the movie disturbing and never watched it again.

Ive read the book when i was 7th grade back in 2006. Im not really a book reader but the breadwinner was one of my most favorites. Im 30 years old now and i still remember every moment.
I've read the book and also the story she tells you know the part where he casually just picks up an old woman and puts her down on the other side and the round dude just rolls down the hill and throws the kid down a well and the little brother is hilarious too
If something bad happens to you then it's either because you're a bad person and deserve it or because the bad people surrounding you escaped punishment. If you are a worse person than this girl, for example, and have a better life than her, then it's your fault too she has it worse. By not suffering enough yourself you're making others suffer in your place. So we are all responsible for that and should feel guilty
Now as Afghanistan is back to this, I as a girl feel blessed to be born in my nation. Of course women are safe nowhere in the world but this isn't the case atlest. I don't know where is that place going to go in the end.
As an afghani i bear witness that we were blamed for the 9/11.. if u ever got to know taliban which literally means a (student) they stood in-front of them they came from different parts of afghanistan they faught for there beloved homeland for there beloved ppl our cultures, traditions, languages e.t.c are safe.

You must be absolutely stupid. Try to gain knowledge about your own countries history. It all became worse for Afghanistan after the soviet invasion, and your country had men who didn't want to drop their arms even after they left

If something bad happens to you then it's either because you're a bad person and deserve it or because the bad people surrounding you escaped punishment. If you are a worse person than this girl, for example, and have a better life than her, then it's your fault too she has it worse. By not suffering enough yourself you're making others suffer in your place. So we are all responsible for that and should feel guilty
