Robbers talk to teachers about morals; women in car accidents want to lightly hurt her husband’s suicide note; dwarves who sell pirated CDs to “contribute to film dissemination”; students who read movie novels but still don’t know how to choose topics for short films; insist on being absent Elderly sisters who are worried about their lives when they go to Aliquan to release goldfish at noon; the ghostly niece in elementary school wants to make a short film but chooses a good theme, but it can't be shown publicly; young people knocking on the car window to sell pirated CD records The neighbor who was beaten but was too afraid to report the crime because the government had just hanged the two criminals who committed the crime of assault shared his story with the director; the director who was banned from filming was used as a taxi driver to continue his cultural career; his niece asked to pick up The scavenger boy who has not returned the money returns the money to the rich groom to ensure that the film he has shot can be shown publicly; the girl who was arrested for watching a volleyball game chose to go on a hunger strike to protest, and the police had to induce evidence that there was no hunger strike; for The cute lawyer who speaks to the public is threatened to revoke his license by the Law Society; the last filming of the little girl, shaking the childish scenes, under the pretext of the previous plot, is like a person who is overwhelmed by the real status quo. In the form of a pseudo-documentary, the film reflects the people's resistance to cultural activities under the confinement of ideas. The psychological appeals urgently need to be expressed strongly, and the social problems urgently need to be exposed. The rose in front of the car window, the stop-frame picture of the car parked in front of the railing, seems to be holding a simple funeral for the imprisonment of the mind, and also like saying that the kind and upright people will take the bright and thorny roses to every corner. A wonderful movie like a director will eventually spread to the world! Taxi drivers should be the ones who know their country best!

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.
