      dust fog home

      The plot of the film is interspersed very well, and the plot echoes from the beginning to the end. I think that the teacher taught us how to write homework in middle school to attract readers. Undeniably, I was deeply moved by this movie. Back then, some trees were cut down in front of the house, and now there is a large area of ​​trees in the new residence. I can't help but believe that everything is destined. Sow what, reap what.
      At the beginning, the protagonist suddenly appeared as a...

      someone else's home

      We have travelled so far , it's time to return to our path.

      As the Colonel muttered this sentence, another sentence came to my mind: Exiles, no homeland.

      Exile is one of the most tragic fates. Eternal strangers, endless wanderings, often in conflict with unfamiliar environments, hard to let go of the past, and full of sorrow for the future.

      Moving to the United States for a family that was once at the top of power, rich in wealth, and admired by others not only...

      Persistence is good, stubbornness is easy to go overboard

      Occupational disease, I found that the movie involved immigration, and my interest increased by one percentage point: as a new immigrant, more needs are to stabilize life as soon as possible and be recognized by the citizens of the immigrant country; the film's male protagonist, Masood's family of four, finally immigrated to the United States and once served in Iran. The identity and pride of a colonel, spending a lot of money to marry a daughter, letting his son go to a good university, and...

      "Sometimes" it's not hatred that destroys life, it's hope

      This film was still in 2004. When I was a junior in high school, I sat on the narrow bed in the dormitory and watched it. I inexplicably like this kind of movies, not because of enthusiasm or emotional ups and downs, but after seven or eight years, I still remember some plots, how the silent colonel handled his life, went out to work for his daughter, and after many years of life, let him be careful. Remembered as a decent and glamorous person, and finally had to hold his wife's hand and leave...

      Suddenly realized

      I read the novel, and I was told the ending before I could watch the movie. Of course, since the ending is not important, then being spoiled is not the primary factor for not watching the movie. But I didn't expect that I was disappointed by the ending of the movie, but I didn't think about it. It was just that when I was chatting with Yuan MM two days ago, she reminded me that a news I saw before should be the real version of the scandal note. Suddenly, I felt that the ending of the movie was...

      It feels like this is Jennifer's best performance since Once Upon a Time in America and Requiem for a Dream. Better than her Oscar-winning "A Beautiful Mind." Her appearance is firm and pure, but there is a certain vulnerability, madness and temptation hidden in her eyes. This dual feeling is displayed to the extreme in this film. "Dust and Fog Home" is actually a very depressing and cruel story, but the director used the lightest way to hide his emotions in the dust and...

    Evaluation action

    "House of Sand and Fog" is a tragic masterpiece. The director combines the story of ordinary people's life reversal with non-dazzling movie shots. The sadness is laid out step by step, and the sadness accumulates. The film has a depressing power, and the details of social contradictions also make the audience sigh. Director Vantim Piriman not only allows the audience to feel the pain of the characters in the play, but also allows the...

    Movie quotes

    • Esmail: Why did that man say we would be deported?

      Behrani: I do not know. But we are American citizens. We own this house. They can do nothing to us now.

      Esmail: I feel bad for that lady, Baba-jan.

      Behrani: The woman's house was taken from her because she did not pay her taxes. That happens when one is not responsible.

      Esmail: But...

      Behrani: Do you understand? Do not feel bad. Americans they do not deserve what they have. They have the eyes of small children who are forever looking for the next source of distraction, entertainment, sweet taste in the mouth. We are not like them. We know rich opportunities when we see them and do not throw away God's blessing.
