For fans of Iranian movies, the name of Jafar Panasi is no stranger. Panassi's debut novel "The White Balloon" (1995) revealed talent that surpassed "The Taste of Cherry" (1997), "Little Shoes" (1999), "Blackboard" (2000), "I grew up in Iran" (2007), "A Farewell" (2011), representing the highest level of Iranian cinema. Iranian films have won many international film awards, nothing more than the positive effect of religion on honesty and kindness, the annoying little things full of divinity and solid details, profound philosophical insights and insight into human nature; "White Balloon" is unique and dazzling. The myth of human kindness and religious indoctrination that Iranian films have been striving to create has been shattered like a white balloon. The girl who lost the money encountered all kinds of people, and the process of finding money was twists and turns. The lovely girl Shimizu came out of the hibiscus, and her smile and frown touched the heartstrings of the audience. With the help of an exotic teenager who sells balloons, the money is finally recovered. It seems that it is another children's story full of tears and human kindness - in the face of Iran's strict censorship system, Jafar Panasi showed his rebelliousness and strength in his bones: it all looks beautiful, it just "looks" That's it. The foreign boy was very happy, and soon his face was dazed. Innocent, simple, cruel, and ungrateful little brothers and sisters, the audiences thought that this time there was at least a thank you, but once again left a ruthless back, only a lost, lonely white balloon. This leopard tail surpasses "The Third Man" and "The Mist", and is comparable to "Inspection on the Way", "Vengeance is Me", and "Memories of Murder". Really talented director. Children symbolize the people, and the people are not always innocent. Regardless of religion or atheism, it cannot be separated from the civic education of liberal democratic constitutionalism and the training of democratic means. In 1922 Walter Lippmann warned that a greater proportion of the masses were absolutely ignorant than we had imagined, that these people were spiritual children or savages, the natural prey of demagogues. "I never censor myself, I don't make any compromises. If you censor yourself, it's dangerous, even more dangerous than the government censors you," Panahi said. At the end of the film, there was a roar of thunder, and the narrator specially emphasized: This is just the beginning. "White Balloon" can be called an allegory of Iran's past, present and future. This is just the beginning of the pun: "Circle of Life" (2000) focused on male power, the discrimination and persecution of women in religious society, angered the Iranian authorities, and the director was banned from making films; Taxi won the Golden Bear at this year's Berlin Film Festival. On the streets of Tehran, a very ordinary yellow taxi is running, but its driver is extraordinary, the famous Panasi. This is not just a movie, but an inspirational battle song: no matter how difficult the conditions, nothing can stop an artist from making great creations. Would executing a thief deter would-be criminals? The two passengers had a heated argument over this. Has someone been sentenced to death for fraud recently, has fraud been reduced as a result? We are the country with the most death row inmates in the world outside of China, but is there less crime? not at all! Vendors selling DVDs recognized the director as a business partner, giving the film a dignified and witty look. Taking a taxi with Panasi is, of course, the topic of feminism that the director is most concerned about. The husband who suffered a car accident, even when he was in a coma, still did not forget to leave an electronic will, asking to leave all his personal property to his wife, otherwise, she could only get a few chickens and live on the streets. This shows the social status of Iranian women. Lawyers complained that Iranian women were arrested for simply going to the stadium, which was the theme of Panasi's Offside (2006). The biggest surprise came from Panasi's niece, a lady who drinks iced coffee. She is smart and very cute: "The teacher asked us to make a short film in a month. In order for the film to be released, women must wear veils, men and women must wear veils. There must be no contact, no scenes of tragic life and violence, and decent characters are forbidden to wear a tie." At such a young age, to be subject to such strict constraints on creation, one cannot help but worry about the future of Iranian cinema. The film scene is single, but not monotonous or boring. The taxi itself is a mirror of society, and various problems caused by various people in Iranian society are arranged in a well-proportioned manner, full of black humor, showing the director's strong strength.

Taxi quotes

  • Nasrin Sotoudeh: They work in a way that let us to know they are watching us.Their tactics are obvious.First, they write you up a police record. Suddenly, you are accused of being an agent for Mossad, The CIA, or MI6. Then they tack on something about your morals, your lifestyle. They make your life into a prison.Although you are released from prison, but the outside world is only a bigger prison.They make your nearest friends into your worst enemies.After that you think all you can do is either leave the country or pray to return to that hole. So i think it's better to let it go.

  • Jafar Panahi: Those films are already made, those books are already written. You have to look elsewhere, you have to find it for yourself.
