Kathy
- Kathy (Jennifer Connelly) is a confused woman Disagreement
with her husband about childbirth is only one of the reasons for the breakup
We don't know whether Kathy's past life was happy or plain
, but Kathy who appeared before us was an alcoholic Smoking, with an angelic appearance but willing to become a cleaning lady, a confused woman who is drunk all day long until her house is about to be mortgaged but doesn't know it

- Kathy is a brave woman who can
face adversity bravely; face herself She can do her best to restore everything that will be lost; when faced with three nails piercing the soles of her feet, which makes us bystanders unbearable, she said: "I dont wan't to ruin your towel"; Dilemma, she can tenaciously say "I lived here, and you stole this house from me, you son of a bitch" We can see her determination from her firm eyes.
But often relying on one person's strength is not enough To change even the tiniest things in the world.

----Kathy is a weak
woman The courage and weakness of women are often changed back and forth in an instant
Kathy doesn't need everything, all she needs is love
Connie Walsh A man who can give her such a promise, Connie, who is also living in self-confidence, can give Kathy very limited help, but he still has Kathy's trust.
A weak woman's expectations are so insignificant , she just needs to get back what belongs to her, she just needs a small space of her own, she just needs a little love
But Connie's late return can give her such a big blow, she aggregated all the blows she received, she collapsed, with guilt and lack of self-confidence
"I need help, I really need some help"
"please? "
"I just feel lost"
"u konw? I just,um...I just feel lost"
......
"Okey bye"
"Fuck"
She came to the cliff of life...



Behrani
-- --Behrani (Ben Kingsley), a former high-ranking person in Iran, was forced to live in exile with his family after the coup, and settled in the United States.
Behrani is also a confused man who suddenly slipped
from superior living environment to a part-time job and a few hardships to survive. For the sake of face self-esteem, I have to change my role every day. Paving workers, grocery store salesmen, and gentle and elegant colonels in suits. The
huge psychological gap drags this arrogant man into the confusion of life.
Should he return to nature and accept it ? The reality should continue to live in the dream poured on it with sweat and tears

----Behrani is also a brave man who
straightens his back and dances gracefully at his daughter's grand wedding
----"Oh, Mr .Barmeeny"
----"My name is Behrani"
"Colonel Massoud Amir (Colonel) Behrani"
He can calmly apologize for his mistakes
"My son, Do not follow the example of your father one day when you are married. Do not do as I did last evening"
He can ask his children in a gentle tone As brave as he is
"We will...remain lions in our hearts"

----Behrani is also a weak
man is hidden in the lower layer of the brave body.
When Behrani finds Kathy who is about to kill himself, he is tough and even The stubborn Behrani showed more care and gentleness than women.
"She is a bird, a broken one"
When Behrani watched his son fall in a pool of blood, he was annoyed and regretful. He could only repeat the same sentence
"I want only my son!"
"My son..." spread his hands and repeated "I want only my son!" on
the way to hope God can switch back to his son with his one "I want only my son!" … When Behrani was about to go back to his hometown and go back to sleep as he sat with Lester on their own viewing balcony





"I have taken us so far off our course. But now it is time to return. It is time for us to go home, to our destiny..."


Ideal and reality are so far away, and
ideal and reality are so similar
when When the ideal returns to reality, we find that everything is so illusory and out of reach
When the reality reflects the ideal, we find that everything is so real and within reach
