leave his father as a metaphor for Iran aside, and only talk about what to do when a person gets old.
China is entering an aging society, and a couple with only one child generally supports more than four elderly people and more than one child. The average life expectancy of men and women in Shanghai has reached 83 and 86 respectively.
It is said that animals do not feed back and support, but when destiny arrives, they consciously return to dust.
People are different, and modern medicine is developed. Do we spend a lot of human and material resources on the last step of maintaining a low quality of life, or do we follow the laws of nature and let people enjoy life when they are young?
This is a real problem, just as Westminster chooses his daughter Nader to choose a father, it is very difficult.
Instinctively, I hope that when I am old, I will be properly taken care of and not be abandoned; but maybe I see my daughter working hard for me, and the nurse spends her life to accompany the dying years, and I may choose to say goodbye; In the end, I can't choose at all, like an old father suffering from dementia, who has lost the ability to think, or lose the ability to act.
There is no answer.
2. Regarding the belief that
Ryze and his husband were devout believers, so she finally told the truth instead of blackmailing, and he left the school after the female teacher swore without killing the teachers and students.
But Nader, I don't think he is. Although Ryze swore to Allah over and over again that he did not steal money, he still did not believe it. He is a principled person, and he teaches his daughter to write the correct answer even if she deducts points. But his principles were not firm, and when telling the truth would lead to jail time, he chose to lie.
Ironically, Ryze and his husband live at the bottom of society, while Nader, who has no religious beliefs and can't dedicate himself to the so-called truth, is middle-class.
For society, of course, it is more controllable to have beliefs, but for individuals who do not have beliefs, how to choose?
There is no answer.
3. Regarding compromise,
Ximin cried and told his father-in-law that he did not hold back even once.
If it is retained, will Westminster not return to her parents' home? There is no back story.
Strangely enough, Nader finally agreed to the divorce.
I suddenly felt that Nader, who didn't keep it, actually still loved Westminster? So he chose to make it happen, and chose to let Westmin go.
There is no answer.
Besides, Westminster and Nader's house is so spacious, and the shelves are full of beautiful books. Both of them drive cars, can hire tutors and carers, and their families are really good.
People are afraid of misunderstanding and misunderstanding because they don’t understand. This film made me understand Iran better. I feel that people there are just like us, with thoughts and emotions.
I like this film very much, it allows us to understand a strange country, and makes people think about a lot of questions. Many questions have no answers, because this is reality, this is the world.
So a movie without an answer is a good movie.
