擦鞋的孩子巴西电影《中央车站》的导演沃尔特想从全国的孩子中挑选男主角。这天,他因事来到一个城市的车站,一个男孩想要为他擦皮鞋,被他拒绝了。男孩可怜巴巴地问沃尔特能不能借给他一点钱买面包,并承诺等他擦鞋挣了钱一定还。这时,沃尔特才发现眼前这个瘦弱的孩子,和自己想象中的电影男主角很相似。于是,他给了男孩买面包的钱,并且告诉男孩,明天去工作室找他,不但有饭吃还可以挣钱。第二天,当沃尔特来到工作室时,一下子惊呆了,昨天擦鞋的男孩不但自己来了,而且带来了车站几乎所有擦鞋的孩子。 Shoeshine kid Walt, director of Brazilian movie “Central Station,” wants to pick the leading actor out of children across the country. On that day, he came to an urban station because of a problem and a boy wanted to clean his shoes for him and was rejected by him. Boy pitifully asked Walter can lend him a little money to buy bread, and promised to wait for him to earn money shoeshine also. At this moment, Walt found out that this emaciated child in front of him was similar to the film actor of his own imagination. So, he gave the boy to buy bread money, and told the boy tomorrow to find him in the studio, not only have to eat can earn money. The next day, when Walter came to the studio, he was suddenly shocked. The boy who shined his shoes yesterday not only came himself, but also brought almost all the shoes-cleaning children at the station.
