Ideals, Courage and Growth

Watching this movie requires additional background knowledge. The rhythm is a bit fast in the front, and then slowly catch up in the back. The rhythm is tight and the language impact is strong.

Forget the political content and focus on the individual. The idealistic feelings they have, the courage to stand up to challenge the authority, and find the true direction after getting lost. These are enough to admire!

The series of lists at the end of the film and the scene where the protagonist of "Persian Lessons" reads the list is shocking. Everyone is a valuable life, and life should be respected enough!
