      How helpless is life

      After "A Farewell", I found some of Asghar Farhadi's more classic films, "About Ellie" is one of them.

      The film revolves around the story of three couples and two single men and women vacationing in a seaside villa. The Iranian girl Yili was persuaded by Cybide to go together, and was arranged to meet Ahmod, a single young man who was visiting Germany and returning to Iran for vacation. . That beautiful and mysterious girl, Yili, is not the main character, but everything in the movie...

      About Yili

      A classic demonstration textbook of film performance. It’s not a new film, but it’s the one that moved me the most in the recent film review. It’s real, not artificial, and has no trace of performance. Iranian films use ordinary little narratives to push themselves to the international film circle again and again, thanks to the simple “performances” of those actors. "The ability to interpret the picture and penetrate the plot, this ability transcends the big production of the scene, just...

      About Yili

      There are many Iranians living in Germany, and Ahmed is one of them. When Ahmed returned to his motherland for vacation, he ran into the beautiful kindergarten teacher Yili, and he soon fell in love with the newly divorced. Just before he had time to launch a love offensive, Yili mysteriously disappeared. The big guys started to search separately, until the court intervened in the case, and couldn't find any clues, and Yili still didn't come back... I've seen it, I've seen it, I've seen it,...

      live

      The script and audio-visual language are wonderful. A film reflecting on the disadvantaged position of women is also an area that the director has always been good at. The movie "About Yili" tells the story of Yili, who has not yet broken up successfully, was matched by a friend to participate in a trip. She sacrificed herself to save the child who fell into the water, but no one stood up to protect her reputation. The expression of the film is very profound. In the low-status environment of...

      Ellie went to find freedom

      Yili represents the contradiction of most women in Iran towards love. Yili doesn't like her fiancé, but neither her family nor her fiancé agrees with them to break up. Under the religious background, Iranian women may not have a choice. When Ellie asked Ahmad why she wanted a divorce, she thought that if she married her fiancé and then divorced, it would bring shame to the entire family. This is a realistic reflection of women in Iranian society in marriage. "A bitter ending is better than an...

      In an Iranian movie, only the middle class/secular and no religion, and then women are thinking men are selling stupid. Elly looks so good. It is said to be good at the box office in Iran. There is also censorship to look at other people's theaters and then look at...

      I thought that Yili was just hiding, but I didn't expect that she really died, hey, it's really sad in the end~ The person who invited is good and has to suffer a lot of sins. A star is an...
