The myth of human kindness and religious indoctrination that Iranian films have been striving to create has been shattered like a white balloon.
"White Balloon" outperformed "The Taste of Cherries" (1997), "Little Shoes" (1999), "Blackboard" (2000), "I grew up in Iran" (2007), "A Farewell" (2011) Well, representing the highest level of Iranian cinema.

This leopard tail surpasses "The Third Man" and "The Mist", and is comparable to "Inspection on the Way" and "Memories of Murder". Really talented director. Children symbolize the people, and the people are not always innocent.
Regardless of religion or atheism, it is inseparable from the civic education of liberal democratic constitutionalism and the training of democratic means. Walter Lippmann warned in 1922 that a greater proportion of the masses were absolutely ignorant than we had imagined, and these people were spiritual children or savages, the natural prey of demagogues.
Jafar Panasi: "I never censor myself, I don't make any compromises. If you censor yourself, it's dangerous, more dangerous than the government censors you." Nobuyoshi said.
At the end of the film, there was a roar of thunder, and the narrator specially emphasized: This is just the beginning.
"White Balloon" can be called a fable of Iran's past, present and future.
This is just the beginning of the pun: Jafar Panahi, under house arrest, won the Golden Bear at this year's Berlin Film Festival for "Taxi."
