As soon as the little loli got in the car, the movie became the tone of the rant. The director borrowed Little Loli's mouth like a cannonball to spit out the Iranian film censorship system.
Like other Islamic countries, Iran is very conservative (in fact, Iran is one of the most open countries). China's film censorship pales in comparison to Iran's. What is not allowed to talk about political and economic topics, prohibition of contact between men and women and language ambiguous and so on. The most incredible thing is that the positive characters are not allowed to use Persian as their surname, and cannot wear a tie (a tie is a symbol of the West?), it is better to use the name of the Prophet Muhammad (I finally understand why Muhammad grabbed a hand in the Iranian movie) So Most Iranian films feature harmless family children and the like. Jafar Panahi's films are full of taboos.
So when Little Loli explained the film censorship system, I smiled. It turns out that all the plots in front of the director are to satirize this huge shackle. But maybe because the director is too eager, this film seems to be poor. At the end of the film, he expanded some metaphors and innuendo, and the original dark humor was explained too much, as if he was afraid that the foreign judges would not understand. In this way, the subtle beauty of the movie is lost, and it seems a bit resentful.
But no matter what, we still have to offer a rose to these directors who bravely reflect reality and fight against unreasonableness.
