As far as I know, the best film industries in Asian countries are China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan), South Korea, Japan, Iran, and Thailand. Among them, I definitely like Chinese movies. Since the 1980s, the international community has also recognized the achievements of Chinese films. Japanese movies, because of cultural prejudice, I don't like. Korean movies, among the countries just listed, I think are the most sloppy. No ideology and culture. It is a beautiful handsome man and an ugly woman and an ugly man. A large number of Korean movies are imported into China, which is purely spiritual pollution to the Chinese people. However, we have a large audience base, and there are actually such a large group of headless people who like and go crazy.
Iran is really a strange country. The past influences on Iran are: Islam, terrorism, poverty, the Middle East, nuclear weapons. These instilled concepts. Little do they know that Iran's football and movies are so developed.
The movie "Offside" is not the first Iranian movie I've seen. "Little Shoes" was the first Iranian film I ever saw. I was so moved at the time. The "Offside" I watched today did not disappoint me at all. Some critics said the film reflected Iran's repression of women. The director is calling for equality between men and women. Like other film critics, I don't take this view with a grain of salt. This gentleman obviously adopted American values and looked at problems from the perspective of Americans. These are the values of liberalism. But two recent films, "Cash" and "Immoral Transactions," as well as some rough thinking in my dissertation preparation, made me disapprove of this once-biblical value.
The beginning of the film is also incomprehensible to me. Why can't women watch football? Really authoritarian country. But as the film unfolded, I felt very moved. Why aren't women allowed in? "Because the men in the gym have filthy words that pollute women. If you were the woman's father, brother, or husband, would you let her in?" "They're not prisoners, you can't beat her, By looking after them, we are protecting them” (if these propositions are true). Why can't we accept such values? Isn't that great. Americans also have a conservative side, and Americans are very family-oriented. "Cheating" is a typical example. "No, I think it's time for us to end this relationship. I think I'm sorry for my family by doing this." Instead of being like the French, who cares about the situation, it's just romantic, such as "Dream of Paris". There is a concept in both Chinese and Japanese culture, that is, proper position, that is, what a husband should do and what a wife should do. This is rare and must be wrong, and there must be absolute equality between men and women. Neo-feminism believes that the pursuit of absolute equality between men and women is not the implementation of feminism, but a male-dominated thinking as a woman.
Wouldn't it be rare if every man treated a strange woman as his sister, daughter, and wife, and protected him? On the contrary, your own wife cannot be touched by others, and other people's wives try to seduce them. Such culture and value are terrible. So in this sense, Iran is warm. I don't approve of his practice of not letting women in to watch football.
Another point in the film is, "Long Live Iran". I feel good too. If North Koreans say: "Long live North Korea". I would feel so pitiful for North Koreans to be ravaged like this by Fatty Kim. Just imagine that people who can't access the Internet, can't watch foreign movies, and can't go abroad shout such words, don't you think it's sad?
Iran is different. Of course I also have to admit that I have not studied the Iranian regime in depth. But his state system leads me to believe that "Long Live Iran" is not the result of indoctrination. Taiwanese will also say that they love Taiwan, but they do not love the Taiwanese government, nor do they love Xiao Ma or Ah Bian. Therefore, I also think that the "Iran" here does not refer to the Iranian government or the Ahmadinejad regime, but to the Iranian nation. Iranians love from the bottom of their hearts the country they live in, this community. This is very touching. Unlike the "mass" in some countries, they can't watch movies or play games on national disaster days, and they start cursing. "The national disaster prevents me from playing." Sad.
