disappointed white balloon

Red Balloon and White Balloon, the two films I deliberately watched together. As a result, the Iranian film White Balloon, which was written by Abbas and directed by

his assistant , was personally embarrassing and finally comparable to the master.

When Beauvoir talked about American literature in the past, he said, "Realist works that travel across the ocean to another

country will be covered with a false poetic color." Unfortunately, I think the current Iranian films are becoming more and more

Going this way deliberately . The innocence and suffering that originally belonged to Iranian art films, the natural appeals of religion and human rights have gradually

become deliberate and vague. Especially in children's movies, although the child's face is still innocent, in fact,

the child is gradually placed on the path that the child should take in the imagination of adults, and the child's own ideas are ignored.

For example, in the film, in order to get back the money to buy goldfish from the trench in the sewer, the director casts the children into the clichés of the adult world just to show the status quo that the disadvantaged

groups are ignored by the society. Some superfluous detours are

actually not thought of by children. In fact, children often solve their own

problems . The filmmakers did not realize this. Instead, from the perspective of adults, they shot a film with a lot

of metaphors, probably dedicated to foreign audiences. Film.

The White Balloon quotes

  • Ali: You're whining again!

    Razieh: Mom refuses to give me money for the goldfish.

    Ali: Don't you like ours?

    Razieh: You call these goldfish, you haven't seen the others. It's as though they're dancing when they move their fins. And they've got so many fins.

    Ali: How much?

    Razieh: The shopkeeper said 100 tomans.

    Ali: 100 tomans! You want to pay 100 tomans for a goldfish. You can watch two films with that money. You're nuts.

  • Shop Owner: Time to go home now.
