film censorship system

I've always been skeptical about the film's purpose. In addition to reflecting the Iranian society, the director suspects that he also wants to ridicule the Iranian film system.

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.

    # ArchivesPhoto# A special immersive viewing experience, the length is shorter than expected (the imagination space is very large), a few paragraphs of records from small to big and careless (specially created real texture), and the sudden The ending of the gods (returning the money but being stolen) can be described as ironic... No matter when and where, there is an urgent need for such powerful image writing, which is related to the censorship system and the current situation of the film practitioners' survival (worldwide issues, cold realism = negative energy?), the small carriage is actually a big society. Taxi connects various social problems in Iran (the point is so far), but all of them are sharp and profound. The valuable thing is that they are only presented objectively without commenting (similar to "It Must Be Paradise"). Post-screening thinking: The director lowers his body (incarnate as a passer-by?) and can touch the real essence to shoot a masterpiece of vitality. On the contrary, he can only apply those sculpted and beautified reality to shoot inappropriate garbage. Jaffa Panasi starred and directed, and personally practiced the right to not give up the right to make movies until death. The story outside the movie is even more shocking. Finally, this flower is dedicated to people who love movies, because they are the hope of this world.

    Exhausting all the milk and trying to be different, why does the movie have to be as stinky and shameless as Lu Xun in the second grade?
